We operate a mostly-RPCV-led safari business and non-profit organization.  We will soon be looking for more help with sales (mostly to Tanzania and Kenya) but would also be interested in hearing from RPCVs who served in other countries and might like to sell tours to their country of service. We are also looking for someone to manage our web design and online marketing. Both of these potential positions will likely start as part-time hourly jobs and both may expand from there.

If you are interested, please email a cover letter and resume to brian@access2tanzania.com. If you are interested in the first position please put ‘Safari Sales’ in the subject line. If you are interested in the second position, please put ‘Internet Marketing’ in the subject line. In your cover letter, please explain why you are interested, your time availability and compensation requirements.  Contact:  “BrianS” brian@access2tanzania.com       Thanks for your interest!
