Fora is the modern travel agency, empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs to build thriving travel advisory businesses. We're modernizing the $100B+ travel industry with AI woven through every part of the advisor's workflow, plus global supplier relationships, personalized training, and a vibrant community, all in one place. That's what lets advisors build businesses that scale, while their taste and service create trips no algorithm alone could plan. At the heart of it all is our mission: to help the next generation of travel entrepreneurs turn their love for travel into a fulfilling career, whether full-time or part-time.
The same idea shapes how we work. We're mission-driven and obsessed with our customers, and we believe humans and AI are both essential: the best work here comes from people and technology at their best, together.
Founded in 2021, Fora has grown to a team of 200+ full-time employees based in downtown New York City. In 2026, we closed a $60 million Series D led by Forerunner and Tactile Ventures, with continued backing from Thrive Capital, Insight Partners, and Heartcore Capital. We've been named a LinkedIn Top Startup (2024), one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies (2023 and 2025), and one of TIME's 100 Most Influential Companies (2026).
Come build something that hasn't existed before.
We’re seeking a General Manager to launch and lead a new agency in the Adventure Travel vertical. This is a rare opportunity to build a focused, specialist business from the ground up— powered by Fora’s AI-enabled platform, supplier relationships, and infrastructure—and to prove out a model that Fora intends to replicate across other travel niches.
The GM will build and lead a newly-branded agency, and build a team of Independent Contributors (ICs) who want to learn to build a travel business in this space. This is a full-time role, remote option considered. While this role is focused on adventure travel, we're open to candidates with deep passion for another travel niche—the right operator wins over the specific vertical.
