Job Summary

The Alaska Native Voices Manager leads the day-to-day operation and growth of Alaska Native Voices (ANV), Huna Totem Corporation’s cultural heritage program.

The Manager works closely with operational leadership, including the Excursions Director and Senior Director, to develop, enhance, and execute exceptional cultural experiences while supporting ANV’s continued expansion into premium, experiential tours led by trained Native Cultural Heritage Guides.

This is both a business leadership role and a stewardship role.

Guide Support, Travel & Logistics

Arrange travel, lodging, and logistics for guides across multiple communities and tour sites.

Recruit, train, schedule, and support Native Cultural Heritage Guides, helping them grow in both delivery skills and cultural knowledge.

Serve as a steady, encouraging point of contact for guides in the field, removing obstacles so they can focus on storytelling and guest experience.

Ensure guides have the materials, transportation, and information they need to succeed at each location.

Cultural Stewardship

Protect and advance the cultural integrity of every ANV experience, honoring the traditions and values of the Huna Tlingit and the descendants of the Xunaa Káawu.

Work closely with cultural advisors and community members to ensure stories and content are shared respectfully and accurately.

Champion the ANV mission internally and externally, ensuring commercial growth never comes at the expense of authenticity.
