Events Partnership & Growth Specialist I

At Worldpackers, we believe that travel can transform people - and transformed people can transform the world. ✨

Since 2014, we’ve been building a global community of conscious travelers and welcoming hosts, enabling meaningful connections and thousands of collaborative experiences around the world.

Our purpose is rooted in connection. We exist to foster personal growth, cultural exchange, and a more socially and environmentally sustainable world through travel.

Respect, inclusion, collaboration, and continuous learning guide everything we do. Being part of Worldpackers — as a traveler, host, or team member — means being part of a diverse, global community where different perspectives are valued and discriminatory behavior has no place.

Being part of Worldpackers means working with purpose - helping more people experience transformative journeys through connection.

Our global community already connects millions of travelers and hosts around the world. As we continue to grow, events and strategic partnerships play a key role in helping us reach new places, strengthen our community, connect people, and create new growth opportunities.

That’s where you come in. We’re looking for an Events Partnership & Growth Specialist I to join our team.

About the role

You’ll be responsible for executing events and developing strategic partnerships that strengthen Worldpackers’ presence and create meaningful impact for both our community and our business.

This is a highly cross-functional role, working closely with Community, Marketing, Sales, Customer Experience, and external partners to turn ideas into real experiences, from planning and execution to measuring results.

You’ll have plenty of room to roll up your sleeves, build relationships, identify opportunities, and help create an increasingly scalable and relevant events ecosystem across our priority markets.

What you’ll do

• Execute global events and initiatives, ensuring they are delivered with excellence, on time, and aligned with Worldpackers’ strategy and brand.

• Activate our community by engaging travelers, hosts, ambassadors, volunteers, and partners before, during, and after events.

• Build and manage strategic partnerships with festivals, retreats, conferences, coworking spaces, NGOs, workshops, and other initiatives aligned with Worldpackers’ mission.

• Prospect new opportunities, identify potential partners, and lead conversations, negotiations, and alignment.

• Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure campaigns, communications, operations, and event deliverables are executed on time and aligned with our goals.

• Track event and partnership performance, analyzing metrics related to acquisition, activation, engagement, community participation, and brand awareness.

• Identify learnings and opportunities for improvement, helping make our events strategy increasingly efficient and scalable.

• Create meaningful experiences that bring people closer to Worldpackers and strengthen our global community.

What we’re looking for

• 1–2+ years of experience in areas such as Partnerships, Events, Business Development, Community, Growth, or Project Management.

• Experience with prospecting, negotiating, and managing partnerships.

• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, while staying on top of details and deadlines.

• Experience in building and engaging communities and developing strong relationships.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• A proactive, autonomous, and results-oriented mindset, with the ability to turn ideas into action.

• Fluent English, as you’ll interact with people and partners from different parts of the world.

• A genuine interest in travel, communities, experiences, and human connection.

You’ll stand out if...

• You like to make things happen and don’t wait for every answer before getting started.

• You’re comfortable moving between strategy and execution.

• You naturally connect people and opportunities.

• You thrive in dynamic environments, with multiple projects happening at the same time.

• You enjoy measuring results, learning from what happened, and asking: “How can we make this better next time?”

• You believe that in-person experiences can create connections that go far beyond the event itself.
