Logistics Coordinator
Kayak Adventures Worldwide
Seward, Alaska
We are looking for a kind, mature, inspirational person with leadership skills, professionalism, and enthusiasm, to accompany strong communication, office, computer, and organizational skills. Applicants for this position must WANT to handle logistics, reservations, and customer service for an outdoor operator, in a fast-paced work environment. Multi-tasking skills are a must, and the ability to make decisions under pressure is key. This position is ideal for someone who is potentially interested in someday owning their own outdoor company, as the LC will be directly involved in all aspects of the daily operations at the shop. Applicants for this position must be strong and fit, as the LC position involves loading/unloading/carrying kayaks. All applicants must be at least 21 years of age. A current driving record, resume, references, and a completed application are all required for consideration.
The LC position will join us for our 3+ week guide training, beginning on April 28th. The LC will receive a stipend throughout training until they are qualified to handle the work without assistance, at which point the pay rate will be per day. The LC must commit to the whole summer, through our closing date, September 7th. The workday starts early and ends late, and is filled with lots of multi-tasking. It’s a busy day, meeting and greeting customers, handling all reservations and phone, email, walk-in inquiries, managing guide work assignments, and occasionally driving trips to and from the beach. This person must be able to coordinate many logistical details while maintaining a friendly, relaxed, and supportive presence in the office.
Kayak Adventures values a diverse workplace and strongly encourages women, BIPOC, LGBT individuals, members of ethnic minorities and marginalized communities to apply. The outdoors are for everyone, you are welcome here.
