Lead Guide

Are you a remarkable leader and outdoor guide who has compassion for the outdoors and the communicative skills to inspire and entertain our guests? Then we would love for you to apply!  

The Lead Guide is expected to have excellent organizational skills, demonstrate exemplary leadership qualities, be Wilderness First Responder Certified (WFR), be competent in all related outdoor skills, and demonstrate exceptional people skills. Helicopter, fly fishing, and mountain biking experience is a plus.  This is a front-facing position with lots of guest interaction.

The Lead Guide will work directly alongside our General Manager and Facilities Manager at Tutka Bay Lodge, and with our Operations Manager based in Anchorage.  The Lead Guide is responsible for building out the guest, boat, and helicopter dispatch boards daily.  The Lead Guide is responsible for building and maintaining a healthy, cooperative team atmosphere amongst the guide team and motivating them to uphold all company policies and procedures. 

Our naturalist guides interact with guests and guide them in various on and off-site adventure activities: hiking, sea-kayaking, snorkeling, packrafting, and helicopter-assisted activities such as glacier trekking, tundra exploration, fly fishing, and flight sees are all adventures at Tutka Bay Lodge.

All our employees are expected to contribute to some of the chores of daily life at the lodge. Unloading boats containing supplies, helping pick stuff from the garden for our chefs, and keeping common workspaces clean are just a few. 

Position is May 1st to Sept 30th for the summer season at Tutka Bay Lodge with a possibility of extension throughout the remainder of the calendar year.
