You'll lead a team of approximately 25+ employees across guiding, vehicle and equipment operations, and general day to day operations.

Lead, mentor, and develop a team of 25–30+ employees across multiple operational departments.
Oversee daily operations, including staff scheduling, transportation, equipment, and resource coordination.

Anticipate challenges, solve problems, and ensure safe, efficient operations and exceptional guest experiences.

Work with CWA's Avalanche Forecaster to assess conditions and make informed backcountry decisions.
Oversee staff safety training, emergency preparedness, and corrective actions.
Work with the GM and Shop Manager to ensure fleet, equipment, and facilities are maintained and operationally ready.
Coordinate maintenance, repairs, and future equipment and infrastructure needs.

Business Growth & Operational Excellence

Manage resources efficiently while maintaining high standards of safety and guest service.
Work closely with Sales, Guest Services, and management to achieve business objectives.
Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, guest experiences, and operational capacity.
Support revenue growth through new opportunities, innovative ideas, and continuous improvement.

Required Qualifications

Unrestricted Class 4 driver's licence, or willingness to obtain one.
80-hour First Aid certification or equivalent.
Strong organizational, administrative, and computer skills.
Proven leadership, decision-making, and problem-solving abilities.
Ability to work flexible hours, including weekends and holidays.
As comfortable working in a snow storm as you are working at a desk

Preferred Qualifications

CAA Operations Level 1 certification.
Avalanche Search and Rescue (AvSAR) training.
Experience working in avalanche terrain and mountain environments.

Full-time, year-round employment.
Competitive salary and bonus incentive.
