Sales And Marketing Specialist

Company Description House of Kumpula is a strategy-focused partner for nature-driven businesses, helping them connect with the right audiences to grow sales, engagement, and impact. Instead of offering visuals alone, the company designs tailored, strategic solutions in audiovisual space that create meaningful connections between brands and their ideal clients. With roots in tourism, outdoor sports and media production, House of Kumpula builds authentic, purpose-driven strategies grounded in storytelling, ethical marketing, and sustainable growth. The organization is guided by values such as healthy living and nature, sustainability, fairness and integrity, collaboration over competition, and continuous learning. The company operates with both English and Finnish speaking clients.

Here's my honest word, un-AI-ed; I'm just a outdoors lover, who wishes to work with other outdoor lovers. It would be great, if I – with the help of another like minded and -inspired person – could create something really cool, which generates value and revenue to the client and us. House of Kumpula is specialising in Arctic and outdoor productions, but this does not exclude other industries as clients. My family has history in arts and I would like to also create a continuum to this heritage, forming an entity that can help and collaborate with the local communities as well as international big nature-driven companies. Don't expect to receive corporation-level rules, restrictions, benefits or weekly hour-by-hour reports on anything. I am very serious in developing my company, but it needs to be done right and with realities of us individuals in mind.

Role Description This is a remote contract role for a Sales and Marketing Specialist. The specialist will develop and execute sales and marketing initiatives that support nature-driven clients, including prospecting, outreach, and nurturing relationships with potential and existing partners. Daily tasks include crafting and delivering clear communication across channels, coordinating campaigns, tracking results, and preparing reports and insights to refine strategies. The role involves collaborating with clients to understand their needs, providing customer service, and crafting solutions in video/photo/digital design space. The specialist will work closely with the head of the company (Markus) to ensure all activities reflect the company’s values of ethical, sustainable, and community-centered growth.

What I'd tell you in person what the role is about; Although the description above is correct, I'm actually just trying to find a person who I get along with and who is way better and more motivated to do marketing and sales than me. I need that time to shoot, direct, edit and write the projects themselves. It's kind of essential you to have experience in video production or have worked with photography agencies. If you have the motivation to be a producer of these kind of creative projects, it's a major plus. I don't need you to be like me with your personal interests and passions (those being climbing, freeriding, running, surffing etc.). I just wish you are passionate about something and interested in the venture of developing your own skills in this ever changing world. What I need you to be is honest and candid. I don't cannot work with a person who cannot state their opinion.

Qualifications as written by intelligence and corrected to common language by me:

• Candidates should possess strong Communication and Customer Service skills to engage clients, respond to inquiries, and maintain long-term relationships. (= Be a cool and down to earth kind of person with no problem of being with and talking to people.)
• Candidates should possess Sales and Sales Management skills to drive revenue, manage pipelines, and support effective sales processes. (= Have some business skills and mindset)
• Candidates should possess Training skills to support knowledge sharing, onboarding, and guidance for clients or internal stakeholders. (not really important in this work, but why not have it there, seems like good skills to have)
• Experience in digital marketing, campaign coordination, or brand storytelling, ideally with nature-driven or sustainability-focused businesses (If nothing else, have this please.)
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment, manage multiple priorities, and meet deadlines in a contract-based setting. (= be a trustworthy adult and have some respect towards you own work.)
• Strong analytical and organizational skills, with the ability to use CRM or marketing tools to track performance and optimize activities. (=So the actual thing that a marketing professional should know how to do, right? Because I suck at this.)
• Familiarity with ethical marketing practices, sustainable business concepts, media production, or tourism and media-related industries is an advantage (or just bring something to the table that I can't bring.)
• Apart from all that, have a bit of a laugh every now and then. You can be serious about stuff, but you don't have to act seriously all the time. (this was all me, if you didn't notice)
