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

Activities & Shift

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
