Community Development Representative Coron, Palawan

We are hiring Community Development Representatives in five destinations across the
Philippines — Siargao, El Nido, Coron, Bohol and Panglao, and Boracay. This posting is for
Coron, Palawan.

This is not a typical sales role — and not a tech role either. The ideal person for this position is
part presenter, part community builder, part trusted local presence. You will be the face of this
effort — embedded in the hospitality and tourism community, genuinely invested in the success
of the people you work with, and comfortable introducing her to a community of business
owners who’ve never seen anything like her before.

Lani sells herself. Your job will be to get in front of people — and we will support you in that —
tell the story well, demonstrate something remarkable in real time, and build the kind of
relationships that make people want to say yes — and want to bring their friends along too.
This role comes with two possible growth paths. Some people are natural community builders
who thrive by going deeper in one territory — expanding their client base, strengthening their
community roots, and growing their income steadily over time. Others have leadership
ambitions and want to mentor new ambassadors, oversee multiple territories, and grow into a
regional role. Both paths are equally valued here. You choose the one that fits who you are
today — and that path can evolve as your life and experience develop.

What You Will Do
• Identify and attend local hospitality gatherings, tourism council meetings, DOT events,
restaurant association events, surf operator meetups, and industry get-togethers where
independent business owners congregate
• Deliver a compelling group presentation to rooms of boutique hotel owners, restaurant
operators, surf schools, and activity operators — live, interactive, and anchored in their
specific numbers — including a live demonstration of Lani being activated in real time in
front of the room
• Walk individual prospects through a one-on-one demonstration that shows the specific
revenue their business is currently leaving on the table — Lani does the heavy lifting,
your job is to start the conversation
• Build genuine relationships with independent business owners across the tourism
economy — before, during, and long after they become clients
• Ensure existing clients feel well served and are getting real value — staying present in
the relationship not just at the point of sale
• Introduce clients to the opportunity of joining a growing community of independent
operators — warmly and without pressure — and nurture that community as it develops
• Attend local hospitality and tourism events as a genuine community presence — not as
a vendor but as someone who belongs there
• Have regular conversations with the founder to share what you are learning and to get
support on whatever arises — whether it is a tough situation, an unexpected opportunity,
or simply something worth thinking through together
• Report weekly on conversations, feedback, and market insights
• Follow whichever growth path fits you — deepen your territory over time or grow into a
leadership role as the team expands across the Philippines

What We Are Looking For
Experience and background
We are looking for someone who already belongs to this community — or could walk into it
tomorrow and feel completely at home. The ideal background, in order of priority:

• First priority — hospitality and tourism: experience with boutique hotels, resorts, or
guesthouses as an owner, manager, or guest relations professional. You understand the
world of the independent hotel owner from the inside.
• Second priority — food and beverage: experience with restaurants, cafes, or bars in a
tourism destination. You know the pressures of running a small F&B operation and the
pain of missed reservations and unanswered messages.
• Third priority — surf schools and activity operators: familiarity with the surf and outdoor
activity community. You know the operators, the culture, and the seasonal rhythms.
• Also valued — dive shops and vacation rental operators. Any experience in these
industries is a genuine plus.
• Based in or willing to be deeply and consistently present in your destination
• Comfortable speaking in front of a group — you don’t need to be a professional
presenter but you need to be someone people enjoy listening to
• Existing relationships within the local business community is a significant advantage
• Comfortable with WhatsApp, Facebook, and basic digital tools — you don’t need to be
technical but technology shouldn’t rattle you
• English proficiency — written and spoken

Personal qualities — these matter more than your resume
We don’t expect any candidate to embody all of these perfectly. But if most of them feel like a
genuine description of who you are, we would love to hear from you.
• Genuine warmth — people feel comfortable around you quickly
• A natural connector — you enjoy introducing people to each other and building
something larger than yourself
• Presence — when you speak people listen. Not because you’re loud but because you’re
real.
• Curiosity — you ask good questions and you actually listen to the answers
• Community pride — you care about the people who have built their lives and businesses
here
• Persistence — you follow up thoughtfully and keep relationships warm
• Integrity — you represent Lani honestly and let her results speak for themselves
• Eager to grow — in whatever direction feels right for you

Your book belongs to you. The portfolio of clients you build is yours — value you can hold,
transfer, or one day retire on. The legal structure of book ownership is being developed with our
attorneys and will be fully documented before your first client signs.

How to Apply
Send a WhatsApp message or email introducing yourself. Tell us:
• A little about your background and where you are based
• Why this role connects with you specifically — not just what you’ve done but what draws
you to this particular work in this particular community
• Tell us about a relationship — in your community, your work, or your personal life —
where both trust and genuine connection were part of the story. What made it real? And
how do you see the difference between the two?
We are not looking for a polished cover letter. We are looking for a real person who connects
with what we are building.
Most people can be trusted to some degree. Fewer people generate genuine connection. The
best relationships — and the best work — happen when both are present. Share your story with
us.
