Would you like to be an Experience Coordinator but don’t meet the eligibility criteria? Then here’s an opportunity to join us and grow while you work here.

• Must be above 21. Male or female.

• Must have excellent English and Hindi communication skills. 

The salary starts at Rs 5 lakh per annum. Experience coordinators work out of our office in Bengaluru. It is a full-time role.

Short-form video editing intern

Our vision at Indiahikes is that Everyone Must Trek. Our videos, so far, have played a huge role in spreading awareness about trekking.

We are looking to grow our video base with not only new videos but also reinventing our content to create more short-form video content and more modern video content. 

To take this video work forward, we are looking for a video editing intern with strong editing skills. This is a Bengaluru-based role.

As a video editor, you are expected to take ownership of producing the final output of our videos. This includes non-linear video editing for putting together the first cut and adding motion graphics.

Trek Advisors

At Indiahikes, we believe everyone must trek and experience the goodness of the outdoors. But every day, we see that trekkers are hesitant to step out. They have a keen desire to trek but have multiple concerns before making a final decision. As a result, many of them end up dropping their plans.

This is where you come in. As our trek advisor, you'll be crucial in bridging the gap between trekkers’ interests and the lack of guidance. You'll be the trusted advisor, the problem solver, and the passionate guide who transforms hesitant enquiries into confident trekkers.

Responsibilities:

• Provide comprehensive information and guidance on treks, itineraries, and logistics.
• Address concerns and tailor trekking recommendations to individual trekker needs and preferences.
• Follow up with trekkers in case they need help with registration
• Manage registrations and ensure smooth pre-departure processes.
• Build strong relationships
• What you need to come with:
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build rapport and trust with trekkers.
• Prior experience in sales or related field
• Prior trek experience is preferred (let us know about some of the treks that you have done)
• Proficient in CRM systems and relevant technology tools.

Salary starts at 6 lakh per annum.

Please note that this is a Bangalore-based, full-time role.

To apply, write a 150-word write-up on why you would make a good trek advisor at Indiahikes. For the rest of the process, follow the instructions in the “how to apply” section.

On the other hand, we have a vision to make our digital experience for our trekkers stronger. We have many ideas to implement, yet we admit we need expert tech help in taking our development work forward. We want trekkers like us who can work with us on technology.

Your responsibility: The Indiahikes website you see is built on React.js with a headless CMS (Prismic) as the backend. Work involves managing the website, including maintenance, fixing issues, developing new features, and solving problems.
