-Stable Internet connection (Having a backup is a plus!)
-A reliable laptop (Having a backup is a plus!)
-Headphones/earphones

He/She must also possess the following skills and competencies:
-Visual Ideation/Creativity/Originality
It is important for our ideal Marketing & PR Manager to be creative and have originality as it is a big part of his/her job.

-Ability to Work Under Pressure
Leading a team, working under a deadline, trying to reach goals are just a few of the sources of pressure that this individual would face. It is important that he/she knows how to deal with it.

-Ability to Motivate One’s Self
It would be great if he/she also has the ability to put himself/herself back on track when experiencing de-motivation

-Attention to Detail
It’s the little things that can make or break your success. The perfect candidate must have good attention to detail in order to prevent big problems within the team and also for him/her to be able to determine the little things that can be done to make things even better.

-Having Entrepreneurial Mindset
It is this mindset that will allow him/her to keep his mind and eyes open for great branding and marketing strategies and opportunities.

-Time Management Skills
Most of the time, if not always, the company’s Marketing and Advertising Department would be working under a deadline. It is important that the department manager has the ability to schedule tasks, set realistic deadlines, etc. in order for their goals to be met within the set time frame.

-Communication Skills
The perfect candidate must have stellar English skills. Team leader or not, it is important to have communication skills to keep things going smoothly. Of course, things do not always go the way you want them to, so communicating also plays a big part in problem solving.

-Interpersonal Skills
This skill comes in handy in both words - within the team and outside the team. It is important for the department manager to have people skills in order to have a harmonious relationship with the team, increasing productivity. Also, since he/she will also be in-charge of relations with prospective customers and relevant connections in the industry, he/she must be able to interact with them perfectly.

What would the tasks be?

-Developing cost-efficient and reasonable marketing strategies in line with the company’s objectives - including campaigns, online events, digital marketing, and PR.
-Planning and implementing promotional campaigns, such as contests, giveaways, etc.
-Increasing the exposure of Nordic Lifting and other brands under Nordic Quality by planning, executing, managing and improving lead generation campaigns;
-Setting up tracking systems for marketing campaigns and online activities;
-Ensuring that the members of the Marketing and Advertising Department would reach their goals by overseeing the day-to-day activities;
-Working closely with the Product Development Department to define marketing programs;
-Collaborating with the Design Department for any content-related concern on marketing plans.

Why should you work for us?
-Working online frees you from the frustration of dealing with commute or traffic.
-You do not have to spend time getting ready in the morning. (Heck, you don’t even have to wake up that early anymore.)
-You have more time for yourself, friends, and family. This is because as soon as your work is done, you can get to your non-work related activities right away.
-You get to work in the place where you’re most comfortable in - your home.
-Nordic Quality has a good company culture. Getting the job done and professionalism are still at the top of our list but at the same time, we keep a light and friendly atmosphere among the team members, decreasing stress and increasing productivity. We don’t bite, I promise!
