Join Our Alaska Family

At Within The Wild Adventure Company, we believe in quality, especially in our kitchens. In our award-winning fine-dining kitchens, we prepare our foods from scratch. We use local Alaska products when possible, grow seasonal gardens, and serve innovative and exciting cuisine to both our guests and to our staff.

Chefs in our kitchens are professionals who work closely together as a team to create seasonal menus that are some of the most innovative cuisine served in Alaska.

Our chefs are part of our leadership and management teams. We look for chefs at Tutka Bay Lodge who can contribute to our guests’ Alaskan adventure through insightful cooking demos, inspiring cuisine, and a passion for infusing the local food narrative into each dish. A strong candidate can work in a remote environment, exhibit advanced professional skills, and take pride in “at the stove” work. Lodge chefs need to prepare three meals daily for guests and staff, and should be proficient in catering to specific dietary restrictions.

We operate a small 5-table cafe in the seaside village of Homer. We are looking for one chef manager who can oversee day-to-day cafe operations, manage employees, order and manage food inventory, and cook. We hire several cooks, servers, and dishwashers to fill in our daily 5 AM to 4 PM work schedule. Our cafe serves organic local cuisine.

Housekeepers – Housekeepers at our lodges play important roles in our overall guest experience.

Housekeepers clean guest cabins as well as public lodge areas. Housekeepers help with meal and bar service depending on the rotating schedule.

Every year our housekeeping team comes with varying skills and talents. We look at your interests to try to incorporate them into your daily schedule. For example, some years, we have housekeepers who are interested in gardening, or in our animals and their care.

Housekeepers work 10-12 hours per day, with one day off per week. During your day off, depending on which lodge you are assigned to, there are opportunities for local recreation or perhaps trips in to town.

We are looking for mature, responsible self starters who take pride in their work, are interested in interacting with our guests, and have the ability to be good team members. Housekeeping candidates should be able to lift 50 pounds. For more information please contact us at employment@withinthewild.com

Our massage therapists are responsible for our wellness program, offering guests massage therapy and yoga classes. We offer an early morning stretch and a relaxation/yoga class in the afternoon.

We offer our guests complimentary massage. Our therapists are in salaried positions (versus per-massage pay scheme). This position also requires participation in other lodge tasks.

We require therapists to be certified in Swedish style massage, able to do deep-tissue and perform up to 4-6 massages per day. We work a 6-day workweek with one day off.

Our naturalist guides interact with guests and guide them in various adventure activities: hiking, heli-hiking, glacier travel, and rafting – and sea-kayaking, hiking, and interpretive skills at Tutka Bay Lodge.

All our guides are expected to be Wilderness First Responder Certified, competent in outdoor skills, demonstrate exceptional people skills, and exhibit leadership abilities. Helicopter and dog mushing experience is a plus.We are interested in remarkable outdoor guides who have the compassion and communicative skills to inspire and entertain our guests.
