Building a collaborative culture rooted in Alaska Native values, accountability, and a commitment to meaningful work.
Purpose‑Driven. People‑Centered. Community‑Focused.
At our core, we are a mission‑driven organization guided by integrity, accountability, and respect. Our work is meaningful, and so is how we do it. We believe that when people are aligned around purpose and values, they do their best work—and that work makes a lasting difference.
CIRI employees are professionals who hold themselves to a high standard of excellence, collaborate across teams, and take ownership of their commitments. We value diverse perspectives and foster an environment where respect, trust, and accountability shape how we work together every day.
What sets CIRI apart is a shared commitment to meaningful work. Our efforts directly support CIRI Shareholders and Descendants, their families, and the broader community. This sense of purpose drives our decisions, motivates our teams, and connects individual roles to a greater impact.
Employees, enterprise-wide, have opportunities to contribute to initiatives that matter — work that supports people, strengthens communities, and helps build a sustainable future.
At CIRI, we believe strong results come from strong relationships. Our culture emphasizes collaboration, respect, and shared responsibility. CIRI team members:
Work collaboratively across departments and disciplines
Respect diverse perspectives and experiences
Take ownership of their word and follow through on commitments
Adapt thoughtfully to change while staying grounded in our values
We foster a culture where accountability is balanced with support, and where people are encouraged to speak up, contribute ideas, and work together toward common goals.
CIRI’s values guide how we show up for one another and the communities we serve:
Mission Driven - Work for more than a paycheck.
Excellence - Strive for greatness.
Honor - Do the right thing the right way.
Respect - Treat people with dignity. Show empathy.
Unity - The power of many working together to fulfill one mission.
CIRI invests in its people. Our culture supports continuous learning, professional development, and recognition of strong performance. Employees have access to leadership engagement, opportunities to grow their skills, and meaningful feedback that supports career development.
We recognize that people thrive when they feel supported, valued, and connected—and we work intentionally to create that environment.
