Sustainability Coordinator

We are looking for a sustainability coordinator who can help implement and oversee our sustainability practices on our treks.

At Indiahikes, we strongly believe that everyone must trek, as trekking deeply impacts the mind, body and spirit. But if trekking must be done, we believe that it must be done sustainably. We must leave mountains better than we find them.

Here is where our Green Trails Initiative comes in. To leave the mountains better, we’re always introducing futuristic systems and processes. All our operations and policies are built keeping in mind sustainability aspects. These focus on minimising the impact of trekking.

The work—ideating and implementing sustainable systems—is creative and incredibly fulfilling. But it is as challenging as it is fulfilling. There are multiple obstacles on the way, which you will have to overcome and fight for the environment.

For this role, we are looking for someone who feels deeply about sustainability and has ingrained sustainable practices in their own personal lives. The role of a Sustainability Coordinator is that of a leader. It requires you to manage and mentor your team to reduce the impact of trekking in the mountains.

For this, we are looking for team members with:

• A keen interest in making treks more sustainable
• Experience of at least one Himalayan trek.
• Min. 2-3 years of work experience.
• Fluency in English and Hindi.
• Intention of being stationed in the mountains for long periods of time.
• Age between 25-35 years

Salary starts at 5 lakhs per annum. This is a full-time role based in the mountains.
