ABOUT THE ROLE

This is not a job where you sit behind a brand guide and wait for requests. As Director, Consumer Marketing and Corporate Communications at Huna Totem, you will be the connective tissue across our direct-to-consumer businesses, our government contracting arm, and our internal and shareholder communications. You will move between external-facing brand work and internal storytelling, often in the same week, and you will build the systems that keep all of it consistent.

You bring genuine range. You are as comfortable pitching media on Icy Strait Point as you are writing a shareholder update or briefing HunaTek leadership on a communications plan. You build trust fast, across very different teams, and you bring order to work that could easily feel scattered in less capable hands.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Consumer Brand Marketing & Public Relations (HTA, ISA & Portage Glacier Cruises)

• Serve as the Marketing, Communications, and Public Relations lead for Hoonah Travel Adventures, Icy Strait Adventures, Portage Glacier Cruises, and any additional direct-to-consumer businesses
• Develop marketing and communication plans, materials, and messaging tailored to each business's audience and goals
• Manage media relations and press opportunities for each consumer business
• Partner with leadership across these business lines to ensure consistent brand voice and effective promotion

HunaTek Marketing & Communications

• Oversee HunaTek's Marketing and Communications efforts, working closely with leadership to identify opportunities that communicate the company's value and capabilities
• Develop and execute marketing materials, communications, and messaging tailored to the government contracting space
• Manage public relations and media opportunities relevant to government contracting
• Partner closely with HunaTek leadership to translate business priorities into effective communications and marketing initiatives

Internal & Shareholder Communications

• Develop internal and shareholder communication plans that keep employees and shareholders informed, engaged, and connected to company news and culture
• Lead shareholder communications, partnering with the Shareholder Relations team on themes and content
• Own the company's annual report and monthly newsletter, from content planning through final production
• Plan and execute company Town Halls and events, including messaging, materials, and logistics

WHO YOU ARE

You are the kind of communicator who can write a press release in the morning and a shareholder letter in the afternoon, without either one sounding like it came from the wrong playbook.

• A strong writer and editor, able to adapt tone across employees, shareholders, customers, government stakeholders, and media
• Collaborative and relationship-driven, with a track record of building trust across diverse teams and business units
• A self-starter, comfortable with ambiguity and energized by a fluid, fast-moving environment
• Process-minded and detail-oriented, able to run multiple projects across different business lines at once
• Genuinely curious about tourism, hospitality, or destination marketing
