WildMex is a young, dynamic company focused on sharing our love for the surfing lifestyle with our guests and co-workers. We are in the beautiful Punta Mita/Sayulita area on the Mexican Pacific Coast, surrounded by jungle, beaches, and quaint towns. Our company has a great reputation and is classified as a 5-star company.
We are looking for professional, fun, honest, passionate, and hardworking Surf Instructors to join our team. As a Surf Instructor at WildMex, you will be responsible for giving surf lessons that involve land lessons (or review sessions), surf theory, helping guests get waves in the water, being hospitable to guests, giving them advice, helping them carry their board whenever possible, etc.
Duties: As a Surf Instructor at WildMex, your responsibilities will include delivering high-quality surf instruction to our guests, ensuring their safety, and safeguarding the company’s equipment. You are expected to consistently maintain a positive and professional demeanor, adhere to our privacy policies, and represent our company in a way that upholds our values and standards. In order to fulfill your duties, your presence is required during scheduled sessions to provide the service.
Our instructors must arrive at our surf shops 30 minutes before the session takes place and leave 30 minutes later when everything is clean and stored. During this time, it is part of the instructor’s job to prepare all the necessary equipment, wash it and store it properly afterwards.
In addition to scheduled lessons, instructors are also expected to join sporadic team meetings to talk about specific subjects and help with Content Creation and brainstorming ideas.
We offer our staff unlimited use of Standard and Performance Surfboards for personal use during office hours (all damages must be paid by each individual), the possibility to make any of our other trips (snorkeling, SUPing, cycling) for free when time and group logistics allow, discounts at local partner stores and restaurants, and the possibility to stay with us in Staff Housing with a minimum cost.
We offer payment per service (biweekly) for Jr, Senior and Master Instructors; and a 10 % bonus at the end of each season:
