Expedition Leadership (various Arctic locations)

Join Arctic Kingdom’s Expedition Team

Arctic Kingdom is recruiting Expedition Leaders and Assistant Expedition Leaders to guide world-class Arctic wildlife and adventure experiences. These roles lead guests safely through daily activities, coordinate field staff, manage camp operations, and ensure each trip meets Arctic Kingdom’s high standards for safety, hospitality, and professionalism.

Expedition Leaders and Assistant Expedition Leaders deliver engaging guest programming, including daily briefings, natural history interpretation, and optional workshops or presentations based on your expertise—biology, ornithology, marine ecology, photography, glaciology, or other relevant fields. You may also guide or support activities such as snorkelling, kayaking, hiking, snowshoeing, and wildlife viewing, ensuring every experience is safe, meaningful, and aligned with guest expectations.

You’ll work closely with Inuit guides, camp staff, suppliers, and local partners to plan and execute each trip—from pre-trip logistics and scouting to daily field leadership and post-trip wrap-up.

• Expedition Leaders oversee all field operations.


• Assistant Expedition Leaders support all aspects of planning, safety, guest experience, and staff coordination.
