Join the Wildland Management/Admin Team
Work in a fun, challenging and rewarding environment!
With offices spread out around the USA and many employees working remotely, we are a virtual team operating with a singular focus: to run a great organization that enriches peoples’ lives through adventure. Open administrative/management positions can include many departments, including accounting, payroll, human resources, operations, marketing and more.
IN-PERSON JOBS/POSITIONS:
When it comes to field staff, what comes to mind is our large pool of incredibly skilled guides who in several locations, are also trained as llama wranglers. But our field operations could not operate without the skill and dedication of other important local in-person staff such as: drivers, warehouse assistants, program manager assistant, and program manager. With soon to be 10 local branches (Moab and Alaska are in the making for 2024), you could be working from any of these incredible office locations.
- Warehouse Assistant: You love to be at the heart of the beehive and organize, count, clean-up, repair, jump from one task to the next, run to the grocery store, load and unload vehicles, etc.
- Program Manager and Program Manager Assistant: You love to schedule, organize, coordinate, problem solve, and… lead our passionate team of guides. You need a deep understanding of what guiding our trips feels like, and know your program area in and out, and love to interact and coordinate with the other departments of the company (Hiring and Staffing, Operations, Accounting and Payroll, etc.)
hybrid and remote POSITIONS:
But it takes a lot more than the field teams to keep our guests registered on trips, our permits secured, our vehicle and gear allocated to the right region and season, etc. We hire a number of skilled and dedicated in various areas of operations:
- Adventure Consultants: handling most of the guests’ interactions outside of the actual trips, our adventure consultants are outstanding customer service who thrive for organization and detail. They have to understand the uncountable logistical pieces that differentiate each of the trips we offer. They are fully remote, work as a team to answer phone calls and emails and get dozens of guests registered on trips each day of the year!
- Marketing, Hiring and Staffing, Human Resources and Payroll, Accounting, Permit and Fleet Management, Operations: those roles require specific skills and experience. Most are hybrid jobs or fully remote jobs. Our teams are spread out throughout the country and meet in-person at least once a year, although some positions do travel to our branches on a regular basis.
