Looking for a new adventure? You’ve come to the right place.

We're an Amsterdam-based team of 75+ (and counting) with 25+ nationalities amongst us! A varied bunch of “Citizens of The World” with a wide range of skills and hundreds of thousands of kilometers under our travel belts. And we have something important in common (other than our very well-worn passports): We want to change the way people travel.

And that's exactly what we're doing, with the travel app to plan, track, and relive trips in a smart and beautiful way.

Polarsteps has over 14 million users already, but, for us, this is just the beginning. We have super ambitious plans and we need a talented Social Media Manager with focus on growing our social media community to help us on our journey.
