iAlumbra advances regenerative development through interconnected levers:

• Sustainability & Economic Development: Promoting balance between communities, economy, and the environment through demonstrated models that can be codified, replicated, and scaled.

Purpose of the Position

Lead the commercial integration and growth of iAlumbra’s Land Operations+ ecosystem, connecting hospitality, regenerative tourism, ranch operations, outdoor adventure, restaurants, aviation, cultural assets, and community initiatives into a cohesive and profitable commercial strategy.

• Connect Rancho Cacachilas, El Triunfo hotel, restaurants, museums/cultural spaces, ranch workshops, trails, aviation experiences,

• culinary programming, and strategic partnerships into one coherent commercial ecosystem.

Field immersion, ecosystem coordination & execution

• Coordinate marketing and sales efforts across internal stakeholders and external partners.

Market development & audience strategy
