OVERVIEW

Established bike tour company is seeking a *Local Operator* to run its
self-guided bike trips in Portland. The role will be suited to an small
business or independent contractor residing in the Portland area.
ROLE

The Local Operator will be responsible for running bike trips in the
Willamette Valley, Mt Hood and the Columbia River Gorge areas. This will
include transportation, guiding and being on-call to support trip
participants as needed.

The company has several years of experience running self-guided bike trips
in California, Oregon and Hawaii. Using this experience, we will train the
Local Operator as well as supply, guidebooks, maps, directions and
operating procedures. Day to day, however, the Local Operator will work
relatively autonomously using their best judgment, experience, and
knowledge of the area.

While the Local Operator should expect to work hands on -- leading the
majority of trips themselves -- it will be important that they recruit and
train a small number of other guides to help them support trips.

This is not a full time role but rather it is as and when needed based on
sold trips. There are likely to be of the order of 30 to 40 trips per
year. A trip may last anything from 3 to 8 days. As such, the local
Operator must have the flexibility to be able to support a part-time and
unpredictable workload.
REQUIREMENTS

A good local operator will be a strong guide as well as having the business
and organizational skills to manage trips, coordinate bookings and account
for expenses. Successful candidates will have the following characteristics:

- Excellent hosting skills with a high standard of
professionalism & customer service.

- Well organized and good attention to detail.

- Prior bike guiding or related experience.

- Knowledge of local history, culture, and geography.

- Enthusiastic cyclist & capable bike mechanic.

- Capable of lifting bikes and luggage.

- Operate out of home or small business office.

- Clean driving record, Hawaii driving license and clean
background check.

- Current First Aid/CPR Certificate.

- Good availability to lead trips during peak seasons.

- Able to build a small and loyal team of guides.
