At Heritage Inspirations (H.I.), we believe in a diverse, integral, and creative leadership team that is dedicated to cultivating remarkable guest experiences. Our Regional Ambassadors are the backbone of our local travel hubs that coordinate and manage each of our Inspired Regional Guides and our tour departures. They are all about people, committed to strengthening and supporting our local relationships with small businesses, communities, and hospitality partners to fortify authentic New Mexico on every tour we craft. H.I. Ambassadors enrich our talent in the field and work to illuminate our passion for storytelling through travel that truly feeds the soul.

Our Santa Fe Ambassador & E-Bike Shop Manager is the lead representative who emulates the following ideals of what Heritage Inspirations stands for and adheres to the requirements of the job qualities listed below.

Authenticity is staying connected to our heritage but not being ruled by it, being true to our roots and ourselves.

Hospitality is giving for the sake of giving, rather than for the sake of gaining. It is being genuinely warm and welcoming, caring, inclusive, kind, and sincerely seeing to the well-being and comfort of others.

Sharing is inviting our guests to participate in the fruits of our success by immersing them in everything that is New Mexico or has influenced New Mexico and enriching their time with us by providing an in-depth and authentic experience.

Quality is giving our best in all situations and always working to improve. It is attention to detail and consistently meeting and then exceeding our standards.

Fun is having a sense of humor, being able to laugh at ourselves, being the kind of person others want to be around, and celebrating the moment together.

Courage is living by our principles, adhering to our standards with absolute discipline, making the right decision in difficult situations, and sticking to our fundamentals.

The Principles of our Heritage Inspirations Family

Self-responsibility is taking motivated ownership of your actions, performance, results, and success of Heritage Inspirations. It is doing what is necessary to learn your job, performing it to our high standards every day, and asking questions when you have not received clear direction.
Teamwork is understanding you are part of a team and being a team player. It’s looking for opportunities to help, offering your help when needed, and asking for help before it is too late.

Make It Happen is affecting your destiny by identifying what you want to achieve and then behaving in ways that make your dreams and the success of Heritage Inspirations possible.
