SMT is a small, tight-knit organization with 3 full-time employees, and we are looking for an experienced Trail Manager to join our growing team! A significant amount of the work completed on SMT trail systems is performed by community volunteers, and in the 2026 field season we anticipate hosting approximately 40 volunteer events. We do our best to foster a work culture that balances professionalism, efficiency, and high-quality work with a human-centered, fun, and safe learning environment.
