Job summary

Atelier Ethos is looking for a ground-level community builder in Türkiye to recruit tour guides, onboard them, and shape how they present experiences.

You will be the face of the company to the guides, coaching them to craft better tours and building a lasting community as the venture grows.

This role blends talent development with market introduction, offering direct access to the CEO and room to leave a lasting imprint.

Qualifications

• You know Turkish tourism properly — destinations, regions, and what separates a good guide from an average one.
• You already have a network of guides.
• You're creative — you have ideas about experiences, storytelling and what makes a tour memorable.
• People warm to you — you build relationships easily and others genuinely enjoy having you around.
• You have a coach's instinct — you don't just recruit people, you make them better.
• You're self-directed — give you the mandate and you work out how to deliver it, and come back with proposals rather than questions.
• You genuinely love travel, history and culture.
• Your English is strong — spoken and written.
• You're comfortable across cultures — time spent abroad or working internationally.
• You're here for the long run.

Responsibilities

• Find quality tour guides across Türkiye.

Job description

We are a talent partner recruiting on behalf of a travel venture reimagining how people explore the world and connect with local cultures. We are looking for the person who will build that community of tour guides in Türkiye. You will be the first person on the ground and the human face of the company to every guide you bring in. This job sits somewhere between community building and market launch: part talent scout, part host, part coach.

What you'll do

• Find quality tour guides across Türkiye — drawing on your own network and your knowledge of destinations from east to west.
• Onboard them and be their go-to — the person they trust and feel good coming to.
• Coach and elevate — help guides make their tours better, more creative and more compelling as stories, and help them earn well doing it.
• Build real community — so guides feel part of something rather than signed up to a platform.
• Read the community and act on it — notice what guides need, what's working and what isn't, and use that to make it better.

Who you are

Former guides, passionate travellers with a real guide network, travel writers and content creators, and people from history, storytelling, culture or the humanities who clearly live and breathe travel all make strong candidates. A storytelling or history background is a real plus.

• You know Turkish tourism properly — destinations, regions, and what separates a good guide from an average one.
• You already have a network of guides — so this starts warm, not cold.
• You're creative — you have ideas about experiences, storytelling and what makes a tour memorable.
• People warm to you — you build relationships easily and others genuinely enjoy having you around.
• You have a coach's instinct — you don't just recruit people, you make them better.
• You're self-directed — give you the mandate and you work out how to deliver it, and come back with proposals rather than questions.
• You genuinely love travel, history and culture
• Your English is strong — spoken and written.
• You're comfortable across cultures — time spent abroad or working internationally, so you can think beyond the local as this grows.
• You're here for the long run — this is something to build, not somewhere to pass through.

What we offer

• Quarterly Performance Bonus
• A blank page — you're the first person here, building something from nothing and leaving your mark on how it takes shape.
• Direct access — you work with the CEO, not through layers.
• Room to grow — as the community grows beyond Türkiye, so does the role.
