Community Captain on Coboat
Coboat is a coworking space sailing around the world. A coworking space is about location (√), space, design (√) and community. This is where we need you: We are looking for a creative thinker with excellent organizational and people skills to join our crew of four (skipper, chef, deck-hand). You will become a permanent crew member engaging with guests on board and communities on land.
Do you like connecting people, organize activities and reach out to a broader audience via social media?
Tasks include:
On Shore (Jan.-Feb.)

- Setting up organizational stuff + processes (pre-boarding, on-board)
- Communicating with our community, guests and partners (incl. finding new partners)
- Being creative (website, design, fun + activities), copy writing and social media
We provide accommodation (brand new buildings, AC), office space, shared scooter.
On Board (March-?)

We offer a rewarding job with travel to exotic places and cultures, a great on board community, as well as amazing activite, snorkelling, diving and spectacular sunsets. We will provide food and accommodation as well as a salary of 1.000 €/month on a freelance basis. Since Coboat is a social business (not-for-profit) this job is about passion, learning and sharing while making new friends sailing around the world.
You are excited to work in a collaborative floating environment, you have excellent communication skills, both in person and in writing. You think creative and develop new approaches, you are self-motivated with a flexible approach since you will be a highly self-managed person. You have good organizational skills and are able to see what needs to get done and make it happen without the need for daily guiance.
