Careers at Much Better Adventures

We're a B Corp on a mission to inspire people to live a more adventure-rich life, help a global community of local and independent businesses to make a great living doing what they love, and protect our world’s wild places in the process.

We’re backed by some of Europe’s leading investors and entrepreneurs and, having successfully completed three crowdfunding rounds, are proudly partly owned by our adventurous community.

If you want to disrupt one of the fastest growing sectors of travel, get a kick out of supporting local, independent businesses around the world, and are in your element trekking, climbing mountains, kayaking or something equally exciting, you are in the right place.

Escape's take on Much Better Adventures

Much Better Adventures was formed from the desire to build a global travel company that could play a significant role in the fight to protect the world’s wild places. And that’s a mission we can’t get behind at Escape The City. 5% of all revenues (not profits) support rewilding and reforestation projects, and in 2020 Much Better ADventures co-founded the Tourism Declares Movement, which enables everyone in tourism to implement the Climate Action Plans needed to halve sector emissions by 2030. On the environmental impact alone they’ve earned a worthy spot in this year’s Escape 100, that’s before even considering their glowing people score and employee reviews! If you want to help use travel to fight for our environment, check out their open roles.

      👩‍👧‍👧 Team members
      Basically like working with a bunch of mates who all share a giant love for time outdoors, couldn't ask for more!

      📣 Mission & Purpose
      No greenwashing here! Huge B-corp score testament to the purpose being lived and fulfilled - 5% foundation pot far more than most contribute and funding re-wilding = a fundamental element in protecting the worlds wild places.

      👻 Transparency
      The founders absolutely live this to the nth degree - as we continue to accelerate growth, all the team are kept up to date with full strategy and even company accounts - we're also all shareholders which helps to feel a fundamental part of growth.

      Overall

      Having a job that encourages more people to spend time being active in nature is really such a privilege - believing in our product helps hugely but also being surrounded by people who really do care about what they do as well as our purpose is a unique work position.
      People work hard here because they care - no sense of being a cog in a big corporate etc. Our work meetups feel like going on holiday with your pals - not sure what more you could ask for!

      🏖 Flexibility
      MBA fully embrace flexible working in every sense and whilst there is no single 'best' option - the combination of flexible working, access to office space, team meet-ups and regular online check-ins mean everyone can tailor their work to suit their individual lifestyle.

      😎 Autonomy
      There is a high level of trust and autonomy given to all staff members, in return there is an expectation that people bring their A game.

      📣 Mission & Purpose
      The whole team come to work with a collective sense that we are here to achieve far more than just 'selling holidays'. The mission to provide income for rural communities and conserve the world's wild places is highly motivating and at the core of everything the company does.

      Overall

      This company sets ambitious goals and is looking to grow fast. But the founders do this alongside a significant sense of responsibility to it's employees, it's partners and the environment.

      📣 Mission & Purpose
      It feels great to know we're having a genuinely positive impact on our hosts and the wild places they operate in.

      👩‍👧‍👧 Team members
      MBA have the cultural fit of the team just right. We're a hard working bunch passionate about adventure, the outdoors, and conservation. We have a very strong and capable team, but still manage to make every team trip feel like going away with a group of friends.

      ⛑ Employee wellbeing
      Work-life balance is fantastic. We have flexible working hours, remote-first working, in-person meet-ups, plus loads of extra benefits. In general it feels like a very progressive and human approach to working, where healthy happy employees are a priority.
