Job Description

What does an ExperienceFirst Guide do?

ExperienceFirst was born in 2008 out of the financial crash by our founder Andrew Luan, an ex-Wall Street banker who built the business by offering tours of New York’s financial district, offering insight into the global financial downturn. Andrew was inspired by offering a more authentic, educational and engaging tour of the financial district, seeing an opportunity to help people understand such an important world event.

While we've now grown to 10+ cities around the world, The Wall Street Experience remains at the heart of what we do.

What do we look for?

We look for guides who are passionate storytellers and willing to share their own unique perspective. While we have set routes, we look for people who are keen to do their own research, keep up to date with how a city evolves and form a genuine connection with the people they meet. For tours of Wall Street, we specifically look for people with a financial background, able to share personal experiences and insights working in financial markets.

Key skills and attributes include :

• A genuine interest in and connection to the place or topic of our tours (specifically Wall Street).
• Strong understanding of finance and the financial district.
• Friendly and open people skills, able to engage and confidently manage a large group of diverse travelers.
• Ability to conduct independent research, learn new information and create an entertaining narrative through personable storytelling.
• Understanding of the importance of safety and able to adapt confidently to unexpected circumstances.
• Clear and professional communication, with a respect for systems and processes that enables the smooth operation of a tour.
