ABOUT THE FWT
The Freeride World Tour organises the most demanding skiing and snowboarding competitions in the world, from the Bec des Rosses in Verbier to the spines of Haines, Alaska. The Tour is home to the Xtreme Verbier, founded in 1996, and to the FIS Freeride World Championships, which crowned its first champions in Andorra in February 2026.
Based near Lausanne, our team of 25 runs 6 Pro stops, 9 Challenger events, 120+ Qualifier events, and 180+ Junior events each season across five continents. Beyond the core team, the FWT family stretches to 120 people, including athletes, partners, media, judges, and broadcast production crew, moving from venue to venue from January to April.
Fast-paced, international, sometimes slightly chaotic. We work in the mountains with some of the most inspiring people in the sport. Working with FWT is a life-changing experience: you'll grow, both personally and professionally, and you won't forget the people you meet along the way.
The Communication team is what brings the Tour to life beyond the mountain. We create, film, write, capture, and design the content. We produce live broadcasts watched around the world. We tell the stories that define the Tour and its riders, grow the freeride community, and deliver visibility to the partners who make it all possible.
If you're looking for an environment where you can work on international projects with real impact, and where "we've always done it this way" makes you jump out of your skin, you'll fit in.
We're a team of 10+, passionate about what we do and about the work we put out. There's always room for new ideas, always something to learn, and always something to build together. If you're curious, creative, and excited to grow with us, you'll find your place here.
