    Descripción

    Are you an idealist with an entrepreneurial spirit? Do you dream of building something meaningful — something that combines tourism, social impact, and sustainability?

    Caminhos Bikes & Tours is looking for a social entrepreneur who wants to lead and grow a new project in the heart of Rio de Janeiro.

    About Caminhos Bikes & Tours

    Caminhos Bikes & Tours is the newest branch of Caminhos, a social enterprise rooted in a language school, eco-farm, and NGO (Mais Caminhos). Caminhos began with a mission: to support a local orphanage — and grew into a platform for impact through education, ecotourism, and community engagement.

    Now, with Bikes & Tours, we aim to offer meaningful and conscious tourism experiences — hikes, bike tours, surf lessons, favela visits, samba workshops — guided by locals trained through our own social programs. Tour revenues go directly toward training and empowering underprivileged youth.

    Our goal: to build a self-sustaining social tourism initiative where every tour supports real opportunities

    What’s already in place?

    • 🌐 A functioning website: caminhostours.com
    • 🌟 Strong branding and reputation (Google & TripAdvisor)
    • 🚲 8 great bicycles + access to a spacious building in Ipanema
    • 💃 Local instructors: Samba, Capoeira, Surf
    • 👥 Committed guides (Davi & Tyson) ready to lead
    • 💼 A steady flow of +/- 100 international students per month from our language school
    • 💻 Team support for communication and online presence
    • 💸 Financial infrastructure + potential investment for expansion

    👀 Who we’re looking for

    A builder, a doer, a dreamer — someone who wants to turn values into real-world action.

    Honestly? We’re looking for someone a bit like we once were — full of drive, idealism, and a willingness to dive into something meaningful, even if it’s not easy. Someone who sees responsibility and uncertainty not as obstacles but as the space where impact and growth happen

    You might be the right person if you:

    • Have an entrepreneurial spirit and love to take initiative
    • Believe in social change through business and action
    • Are a strong communicator and natural organizer
    • Speak fluent English (Portuguese is a big plus)
    • Have a financial cushion to support yourself in the early stages (this is not a salaried job — yet)
    • Thrive when faced with challenges, responsibility, and purpose
    • Want to build a meaningful life and career — not just a job

    This isn’t for everyone.

    💡 What we offer

    We can’t offer a fixed salary — at least not yet. But we can offer something deeper, more meaningful, and potentially more rewarding:

    • 💸 A commission-based income structure — you’ll earn based on results, with real potential to grow your earnings over time
    • 🤝 Co-ownership potential — as the project grows, you could become a partner in this pillar of the Caminhos brand
    • 🏖️ An inspiring, collaborative work environment in Ipanema, just a few blocks from the beach
    • 🌱 Work with purpose — your efforts will directly support youth development and social impact
    • 🔧 Support from experienced and passionate owners (communications, admin, online marketing)
    • 🚀 Room to grow personally, professionally, and entrepreneurially
    • 🧩 Creative freedom — this is your chance to shape a project from the ground up
    • 🌍 A meaningful role in a respected social brand — Caminhos has a strong international reputation

    Compensación

    This is not a salaried position — at least not in the beginning. Income will be 100% commission-based, directly linked to the success and growth of the project.

    That means:

    You earn what you build. The more successful the tours and partnerships, the more you earn.

    Because of this, it's essential that you have some personal financial stability or a buffer to support yourself during the startup phase. If you don’t, this opportunity is probably not the right fit — yet.

    But if you do have that flexibility, and you’re excited about co-creating something meaningful, we believe this role can become both personally fulfilling and financially sustainable.

    In time — and with success — there may be opportunities for a stable income and even shared ownership of this pillar within the Caminhos brand.
