Talkeetna Community Radio, Inc. (KTNA) is seeking a General Manager to lead a team of staff and volunteers to achieve KTNA’s mission to enrich and connect the communities of the upper Susitna Valley. We are seeking an organized person with experience managing a team and a budget. A background working with non-profits, grants, and fundraising, either as staff or volunteer, is also good experience for this position.

We have a dedicated corps of volunteers who produce music shows and anchor three newscasts each weekday. KTNA’s reach is both local through our broadcast and events, and worldwide with multiple online platforms.
The station is located in downtown Talkeetna near restaurants and shopping. Residents of the Susitna Valley enjoy a rural lifestyle with all the basic services yet more than 70 miles from the nearest traffic jam. Local all-season trails, an active arts council, and a history museum contribute to a high quality of life. For more information about the area, visit www.TalkeetnaChamber.org/relocating.
