KBC amplifies Indigenous voices and stories through authentic journalism, culturally resonant storytelling, Indigenous music and cultural programming, and impactful partnerships. Our mission is to be the most trusted resource for authentic Indigenous perspectives, voices, and stories, delivering multi-platform content that informs, inspires, and uplifts the communities we serve.

Headquartered in Anchorage, AK, KBC also has a national production office in Albuquerque, NM.

Koahnic Broadcast Corporation (KBC) is at a pivotal moment of growth—expanding the reach and depth of Indigenous journalism, storytelling, and music while strengthening systems that support long-term sustainability. Backed by a bold strategic plan, KBC is building new infrastructure to support original content creation, audience growth, revenue awareness, and national visibility across its media platforms.

The General Manager of Media (GM of Media) is a newly created executive role, reporting to the CEO and serving as a peer to the Chief Development Officer (CDO). This role is designed to unify content strategy and media operations, strengthen cross‑department alignment, and provide oversight of KBC’s national media portfolio. The GM of Media will lead a dynamic team in shaping KBC’s future – ensuring content excellence is matched with operational cohesion and long‑term growth.

We seek a strategic, visionary leader with sharp instincts across formats and platforms who can transform audience experiences through journalism, storytelling, and music grounded in Indigenous truth—designed for both broadcast and digital, and built for sustainability. This individual will bring a track record of nurturing talent, expanding reach to new and underserved audiences, and collaborating across departments to align editorial vision with organizational goals.

As a collaborative partner across the organization, the GM of Media will be a change agent—reflecting the organization’s values while leading with clarity, compassion, and courage.

The GM of Media is a creative thinker and leader who thrives in a collaborative environment. This is a dual‑function executive role that combines content leadership with responsibility for media operations—ensuring that editorial vision and production systems move together in service of KBC’s mission and long‑term sustainability. This role also requires a systems‑oriented mindset, with the ability to build operational cohesion across geographically distributed teams and ensure that content production and distribution workflows are aligned, efficient, and future‑ready.

They will help transform KBC into a digital‑first organization while continuing to serve traditional audiences through radio and broadcast channels. The GM of Media will partner with programming and events teams to create dynamic, community‑based media experiences. A central need is a leader who can think across platforms and functions for maximum impact and mission alignment while also imagining and enabling new pathways to funding Koahnic’s growing slate of cross‑platform initiatives.
