The Káawu Management Fellowship is a 12-month leadership development program designed to prepare high-potential Huna Totem employees for future management and executive leadership roles. Fellows gain broad experience across the company through a series of rotational assignments, formal professional development, and mentorship from experienced leaders.

This fellowship is intended for Huna Totem employees who:

• Demonstrate strong leadership potential.
• Are interested in building a long-term career with Huna Totem.
• Aspire to serve in future or executive leadership positions.
• Are early- or mid-career professionals ready for increased responsibility.
• Are willing and able to travel extensively during the program.

The program is designed to identify and develop future leaders by providing exposure to multiple parts of Huna Totem’s business, strengthening business and leadership skills, and preparing Fellows for increasingly responsible roles throughout the organization.

The Fellowship is a full-time, 12-month program.

Each Fellow follows an individualized development plan that typically includes several multi-week rotations in different business units or corporate functions.

Rotations are designed to broaden your understanding of Huna Totem while developing practical management, financial, operational, and leadership skills.

Rotation assignments are tailored to each Fellow’s development goals and the organization’s needs. Depending on your background and interests, rotations may include areas such as:

• Tourism operations
• Finance
• Human Resources
• Information Technology
• Marketing
• Shareholder Services
• Corporate support functions
• Government Contracting

Yes. In addition to on-the-job learning, Fellows participate in professional development opportunities that may include:

• Business and financial education
• Project management
• Leadership development
• Software and business systems training
• Other courses or certifications that support your development

Yes. The Fellowship includes rotational assignments at different Huna Totem locations, so Fellows should be prepared to travel throughout the year.

Travel expenses, lodging (when applicable), per diem, and salary are provided during the program.

While we expect that any high-performer’s absence from their team will be felt, this Fellowship is a part of Huna Totem’s commitment to developing talent internally. Preparing for succession is a core part of any leader’s responsibility, and we will work with you and your team to prepare for your absence before you embark on the Fellowship.

The Fellowship is designed to prepare participants for expanded leadership opportunities within Huna Totem. Upon successful completion, Fellows may:

• Be promoted into a management role.
• Assume a new position within another Huna Totem business unit.
• Take on increased leadership responsibilities within their current organization.

Placement decisions are based on the Fellow’s strengths, organizational needs, and available opportunities.

You will continue to receive your current pay and benefits during the Fellowship.

Successful applicants typically demonstrate:

• Strong leadership and executive management potential
• Initiative, curiosity, and a willingness to learn
• Excellent work ethic
• Good judgment
• Adaptability
• Interest in serving Huna Totem over the long term
• Readiness to take on new challenges and responsibilities

Applicants are evaluated based on their leadership potential, performance, demonstrated commitment to Huna Totem, readiness for increased responsibility, and alignment with the goals of the Fellowship.

The Fellowship is intentionally small and selective. We aim to select one highly qualified Fellow per year. The standards of the Fellowship are rigorous and it is possible that in some years no Fellow will be chosen.

Prospective Fellows should submit applications by the deadline of August 10.

A select number of applicants will be invited for interviews with a panel of Huna Totem’s leaders.
