Resident Manager: Eco-tourism and hospitality services.
The Iwokrama International Centre for Rainforest Conservation and Development (IIC) would like to appoint a manager to take responsibility for the tourist activities at Iwokrama. He/she will be responsible for ensuring that tourists enjoy all aspects of their visit and that the level of hospitality and overall experience while at Iwokrama are of the highest standard.

Background to the appointment
Iwokrama is an area of around one million acres in central Guyana with a unique tropical eco-system. The long term financial sustainability of the forest is dependent on, amongst other activities, a thriving eco-tourism business. Over the past year the tourist accommodation has been upgraded; visitor numbers have increased in spite of the economic downturn and there is greater recognition of what Guyana as a tourist destination can offer. A key role for the manager will be to:

• build on this initial success by delivering consistently high quality service
• developing ways in which the business can be further scaled
• play a role contributing to the success of the centre and of its scientific and other educational activities.

The IIC depends strongly on the involvement and support of the local community. The majority of the centre’s employees are drawn from within Iwokrama and the IIC engages with, and is supported by, local people in a myriad of ways. It is essential that the manager is able to train, motivate and indeed inspire the local workforce while maintaining equal and constant awareness of international visitors’ requirements.
The centre also hosts visiting scientists (with one resident scientist); it provides training services (for forest guides and rangers) and hosts others (eg. foresters working in its certified management area) that are involved in Iwokrama’s activities. The manager would be responsible for ensuring that all visitors to the centre were appropriately looked after during their stay.

Job specification:
The Tourism Manager will:

• Be responsible for the service quality and commercial success of tourist activities at Iwokrama
• Have line management responsibility for the catering and cleaning staff that look after the tourists
• Work with the head of site operations to ensure that all staff have an understanding of the expectations of international visitors
• Liaise with the head of site operations and others to ensure that the ecological activities (eg. bird walks etc) are delivered and organised in a way that maximises visitors’ enjoyment.
• Be responsible for ensuring that appropriate statistics are kept on visitor numbers, visitor feedback, revenues and costs etc and that regular reports are made to the Board via the CEO
• Develop new tourism products and provide marketing support such as special tours, packaging popular destinations etc
• Oversee the site manager to ensure all other visitors are appropriately looked after during their stay.

The manager will report to the CEO but will be expected to liaise closely with the Iwokrama head of site operations and will report to the latter on the two specific issues of health and safety and community relations.

Requirements of the position
The successful applicant will need to be able to demonstrate that they have the enthusiasm, motivation, charisma and prior experience to enable them to:

• Provide the quality of hospitality (accommodation, food etc) as expected by international tourists
• Host visitors throughout the year and provide them with the level of atmosphere and experience able to transform them into advocates of Iwokrama.
• Sensitively and effectively work with the local indigenous community, helping employees build skills necessary to deliver the quality of overall service expected, and to play a role in enhancing genuine collaboration with and the reputation of the Centre vis a vis the local community
• Ensure that eco-tourism activities are a commercial success: increase revenues and deliver strong profit contribution to support Iwokrama’s other activities.

Other information
The manager will be based at the IIC headquarters in the heart of the Iwokrama forest, remote from any towns and around a seven hour drive from Georgetown.

The closing date for applications is December 9th. Afterward, selected candidates will be interviewed for a mid-January 2012 start.  Please send a CV and cover letter to jbowers@iwokrama.org
