What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sales Specialist position at Wilderness Adventures (Wilderness Ventures & Wilderness Experience)?
Position Overview
Employment Type: Full-Time, Year-Round
Location: Jackson, WY or Remote (must work Mountain Time Zone)
Manager: Director of Marketing and Sales
We are seeking a motivated self-starter to join our year-round leadership team. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, is highly efficient and organized, and can juggle many priorities at once. They must be a confident salesperson, comfortable picking up the phone, having meaningful and sometimes difficult conversations with parents, and guiding families to find the right program for their child.
In addition to enrollment and sales, this individual will support all facets of Wilderness Adventures operations, from logistics to staffing, to summer camp support (MOLA, Base Camp, Camp New Fork), to the Wilderness Adventures Foundation. We are looking for a true team player – someone who will eagerly jump in wherever needed, whether that’s managing big-picture projects or rolling up their sleeves for the detailed work that keeps the organization running smoothly. The shift in duties (from sales to a more operations-focused job) is significant as we move from the sales season (August through May) to summer operations.
During the summer, this team member will be part of the on-call risk management team, which requires composure, clear communication, and problem-solving in high-stress situations.
Schedule & Commitment
- September–April: Regular full-time office schedule, typically Monday – Friday from 8am-5pm MST. Occasional evenings and weekends may be required to support events or off season programming. Sales, marketing and enrollment duties will be the primary focus of this period.
- May–August: Extended hours with your flexibility required. Team members receive 2 days off each week, but those days will not be Saturday and Sunday. Hours vary to provide office coverage from 7am-6pm with on-call, overnight coverage required at least once weekly. Extended hours and days required during staff training and staff wrap up (the bookends of the summer). Logistics, summer operations, and marketing and enrollment launch will be the primary focus of this period.
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive salary commensurate with experience.
- Generous time off available during the non-summer months.
- Professional development opportunities.
- The opportunity to be part of a mission-driven team creating life-changing experiences for young people.
