🌿 WE’RE HIRING | NATURALIST
Syna Tiger Resort | Bandhavgarh, Madhya Pradesh
We are looking for a passionate, curious and initiative-driven Naturalist who sees the forest as more than a safari destination.
Someone who can understand a landscape, tell its stories, engage guests meaningfully — and, most importantly, take ideas from observation to action.
At Syna Tiger Resort, Bandhavgarh, this role goes beyond conducting safari experiences. We are looking for someone who wants to develop a deep understanding of the forest, its ecology, wildlife, people and changing landscape, while contributing to meaningful nature, conservation and sustainability initiatives.
🐾 THE ROLE
• Lead engaging wildlife and nature experiences for our guests
• Develop a strong understanding of the flora, fauna and ecology of Central India
• Interpret animal behaviour, forest systems, water, habitats and the relationship between people and nature
• Conduct nature walks, birding, interpretation sessions and other experiential activities
• Create stories and experiences that help guests understand the landscape, rather than simply identify species
• Observe, document and communicate ecological changes and opportunities
• Research and develop new nature-based experiences and initiatives
• Identify opportunities for habitat improvement, biodiversity enhancement and responsible tourism
• Engage with local communities and understand traditional knowledge and the cultural history of the region
• Work with the wider team to develop long-term conservation, sustainability and landscape-based initiatives
🌱 THIS IS FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO BUILD
We are particularly interested in people who want to create, develop and take ownership — not simply fill a Naturalist position.
We want someone who looks at a forest and asks:
What can we learn from this place?
What can we do better?
What can we build for its future?
The opportunity is to grow with the role and help shape Syna's relationship with the landscape over the years ahead.
🌳 WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
• Qualified / experienced Naturalist with a genuine passion for wildlife and ecology
• Good knowledge of Central Indian forests; familiarity with Bandhavgarh is an advantage
• Strong communication, interpretation and storytelling skills
• Valid driving licence and confident driving skills are essential
• Comfortable driving and spending extended periods in the field
• Curious, observant and comfortable spending significant time outdoors
• Someone who researches, learns and shares knowledge
• Initiative-driven, proactive and capable of independently developing ideas
• Comfortable working across hospitality, nature, conservation and sustainability
• A team player who wants to contribute beyond their defined job description
Experience matters. But curiosity, initiative and a genuine connection with nature matter more.
