RESPONSIBILITIES
- Strategic Outreach & Growth: Research, map out, and actively reach out to potential host partners (Homestays, Hostels, Farm stays, Cafes, NGOs) to introduce them to the Volunteer Yatra ecosystem.
- Seamless Onboarding: Guide new hosts through their sign-up journey. Ensure they understand the platform, complete their verification, and post their first opportunities without a hitch.
- Host Success & Retention: Be the trusted go-to person for existing hosts. Check in regularly, provide prompt support, and ensure they are successfully matching with volunteers and staying active on the platform.
- Community Management: Build and nurture a strong, engaged community among hosts, making them feel heard, valued, and connected to the VY mission.
- Big-Picture Partnerships: Think big by pitching Volunteer Yatra to government bodies, tourism boards, and large private organisations (like hostel chains) to negotiate bulk onboarding and strategic alliances.
- Feedback Loop: Act as the voice of the host. Gather feedback, understand pain points, and work with the team to improve the platform.
MUST-HAVE SKILLS
- Exceptional Communication: A warm, persuasive, and clear communication style in both written and spoken English (Hindi is highly preferred). Able to explain new concepts to people from all walks of life.
- Relationship Building: Natural ability to build trust quickly over a phone call, email, or in-person meeting.
- Sales & Hustle: Proven experience in sales, business development, or account management. Not afraid of cold calling or hearing the word "no."
- Empathy & Patience: Listen to hosts' problems calmly, understand their perspective, and guide them to a solution.
- High Ownership: Ability to work independently, manage your own lead pipeline, and take accountability for targets.
NICE-TO-HAVES
- Prior experience in travel, hospitality, or volunteering.
- Familiarity with CRM software (e.g., HubSpot, Zoho, or similar tools) to track leads and conversations.
- An existing network within the hospitality or NGO space.
