Compensation:
$15-17/hr starting (plus gratuities from guiding) DOE

• Ability to lift bicycles and other objects up to 55 pounds on a regular basis, however reasonable accommodations can be made for qualified applicants

• Must be LGBTQ friendly. We encourage POC, Trans, Non-Binary, Gender-Non-Conforming, Women, and Marginalized Groups to apply.

Knowledge and skill in the following areas is preferred (but not required), and represents core strengths as part of this position:
• Genuine desire to work with and listen to the public both as a tour guide, and as part of our shop staff to meet client where they’re at with their needs

• Excellent public speaking skills, comfortable working with and projecting to audiences of up to 12 individuals at a time

• Strong verbal and written communication skills

• Curiosity! We love learning about Portland, and sharing that passion with others as the stories of our city and region evolve

• Self-motivated and comfortable asking for support when needed

• Experience in the performance arts, previous bike shops, bike mechanical knowledge, and tour guiding while not required, is a plus
