Careers

Lehtipiste Group employs professionals of various fields of expertise. The current number of group employees, including all subsidiaries, totals approximately 200.

Lehtipiste as an employer

When Lehtipiste was founded over 110 years ago with the idea to provide for a nation of avid readers, its vision was put into motion by selling newspapers and magazines at newsstands on wheels at railway stations. Newsboys yelling “extra, extra” may be a thing of the past. However, we still deliver print media for those who want to smell the ink and enjoy content on a page, not on a screen. A printed page, what a lovely user interface! Newsstands on wheels have since given way to larger vehicles, and distribution is now covered by our 3,800 outlets nationwide. Meanwhile, our product portfolio has expanded to include books and collectibles.

Pakettipiste, part of Lehtipiste, specialised in tailored, time-critical delivery services and serving consumers with their parcel point network, ensures that the trucks transporting print media across the nation six days a week always have a full load to deliver. Loads include everything from car spare parts to online store parcels.

Other companies in the Lehtipiste Group include Suomen Korttipiste Oy which operates on the card and gift product market with well-known brands such as Paletti and Karto, and Putinki Oy, operating in the paper and gift product segment. As well as Hanart Oy, a Finnish wholesale company, which imports high-quality brands for arts, crafts as well as interior design.

The Lehtipiste Group employs about 200 people, united by our passion for our work, putting our customers first, and respecting our co-workers. Even under tight deadlines, there is plenty of joyful banter. And even if we make mistakes every now and then, they present an opportunity to learn – even if it may be a bit of a bummer when you are the one who messes up. We have obviously done something right though because our employee turnover is low. Each year we hand out Chamber of Commerce milestone awards for 10, 20, 30 or even 40 years of service. Naturally, we also have employees who are just starting their career at Lehtipiste. This mix of experience and fresh ideas makes for a fine work community, one capable of exceeding expectations and creating new innovations.

Lehtipiste headquarters are located in Vantaa, Finland. We also have offices in Jyväskylä, Tampere, Järvenpää and on Hämeentie in Helsinki. What’s more, we employ personnel responsible for customer relationship management on a daily basis everywhere in the nation.

The majority of our staff consists of permanent, full-time employees. It goes without saying that we are in compliance with legislation and the collective labour agreement, which in our case is the commercial sector’s collective agreement.

Here are some of the job titles of our professionals: Key Account Manager, Graphic Designer, Accounting Specialist, Logistics Specialist, Logistics Worker, Sales Representative, Sales Assistant, Sales Negotiator, Product Assistant and Product Manager. That’s just a few examples, we have many more – each as valuable as the ones above.

If you wish to join our ranks, see below for vacancies. In addition to interesting duties, salary that meets the demands of the job, and colleagues that are both lovely and professional, you get to enjoy our proven personnel benefits.

Bummer, we’ve got no vacancies right now.

Heidi

Product Designer, Suomen Korttipiste Oy

I design a wide variety of different products, such as cards, calendars, notebooks, stickers and gift bags. I also manage the company’s social media accounts and plan our materials for marketing and product presentations, such as magazine ads and brochures. My work is very visual, and at our Jyväskylä location we are literally surrounded by wonderful products in our working environment.

I was hired as a product designer in the fall of 2019. My employment began with a two-year stint as a study leave substitute, after which I joined the design team as a permanent employee. Lehtipiste and Tradeka have given Korttipiste the type of support that only a large group can provide. Corporate responsibility is a top concern, and work methods are constantly being developed. I have also made use of our good and varied personnel benefits.

What I love most in my work is the opportunity to work in a visual field, with varied tasks and lovely co-workers. The support of a professional and encouraging team provides joy and inspiration to my workdays.

Aleksi

Logistics Specialist, Pakettipiste

As a Logistics Specialist, my duties involve working with customer service, sales, and provision of transport services. My duties primarily include implementation of new transport clients and involvement in various development projects.

I started working at Lehtipiste in the fall of 2020 – first in the customer service and then in transport processing. Now I’m a part of the development and implementation team. I had already worked in logistics industry customer service for many years before coming over to Lehtipiste. I was familiar with the services of Pakettipiste from my previous job, and it all seemed like something that I would enjoy being involved in.

Pakettipiste is growing and developing fast. Having front-row seats and being involved are great sources of inspiration for me! We have a great work community and good opportunities to influence our career development. The opportunity to combine work and studies is also quite wonderful – I finished my thesis while working at Pakettipiste.

Inkeri

Sales Negotiator, Lehtipiste Oy

I work as a Lehtipiste sales negotiator, smack in the middle of Finland. I manage both standard duties and campaign efforts for the stores of my clientele. Standard duties include promoting the profitability of magazine and newspaper sales, assessing potential, training activities and development measures. Campaign efforts include negotiating magazine-specific campaigns, setting them up and analysing results.

My employment at Lehtipiste started in November 1986. At the time, Lehtipiste had a vacancy in their field sales personnel. I was interested in independent work where locations and clients change, and reading had always been close to my heart. During the application process, I was given such a great presentation on Lehtipiste’s products and sales prospects that I was completely taken in by the world of magazines and newspapers. What a stroke of luck, I thought: interesting products and a well-developing market, clients out in the field, and to top it all off, a Ford Fiesta with a 1.0 litre engine! I have grown up on the way, products have changed, and I am now on my eleventh car, but I have been on that road ever since.

We have great clients and products that adapt and change to fit the current commercial environment. The spirit of cooperation between various Lehtipiste divisions and our deep trust in one another is the foundation of our success. I’m of course just one piece in the larger Lehtipiste puzzle – but all pieces matter. The Lehtipiste group offers compelling duties for professionals in various fields. There is always demand for trustworthy people with a cooperative mindset who are eager to further build their professional competence on the job.

Juuso

Sales Manager, Suomen Korttipiste Oy

I am a sales manager at Korttipiste and my duties include field sales supervisor and chain sales responsibilities and involvement with various development projects, such as analytics & reporting systems and the B2B online store.

My career started in 2012, and during these 10+ years I have worked as a sales assistant, product manager and sales manager. As a product manager, I was also in charge of our logistics partnerships and cooperation with our then-outsourced warehouse. The experience I have gathered in various fields of business helps me in my current work as a sales manager.

What makes me want to keep working is my constant desire to improve and be involved in various projects that improve sales and the business overall. Our working community is a big factor in this, as we have such a great can-do attitude! I would definitely recommend the Lehtipiste Group as a place of work – there are so many business operations and opportunities available. The Lehtipiste Group is serious about corporate responsibility and genuinely works hard for it.

Retail Sales Manager, Putinki Oy

I am a retail sales manager at Putinki and I manage four paper stores. My areas of responsibility include development of sales and customer experience, store personnel, selection, and marketing.

I started at Putinki at the busiest time of the year, a couple of weeks before Christmas in 2019. Until Christmas, I worked in customer service and at the cashier. A high intensity start at the grassroots level was a great opportunity to get to know both the clientele and the products.

Putinki caught my interest as an employer because in this highly digital world, people still need things that occupy their hands, products to touch and feel, and physical stores to visit. Putinki offers all this in an inspiring format. I have really enjoyed my time at Putinki, because I think we have the most wonderful products, clients and colleagues to work with.

Putinki is a good employer because you can have a say there and because your efforts bring visible results. With Putinki now a part of Lehtipiste Group, we also have wide-ranging opportunities for developing our business.

Päivi

Sales Assistant, Lehtipiste Oy

I am a sales assistant with the Lehtipiste customer service. My duties include customer service work at both Lehtipiste and Pakettipiste, conducted via telephone and email. My duties also include lobby services.

When I first joined the company, it was for a summer job at the magazine dispatch centre in 1995. I was working at another place while still studying, and someone mentioned that there might be a summer job available at the Lehtipiste dispatch centre. I applied for the job and got it. The following year, I was working as an intern with Lehtipiste’s customer service. Following my training, I stayed on with the customer service, first as a parental leave replacement and then as a permanent employee.

I have always had wonderful colleagues here, and it has been a big contributing factor to me staying all these years.

Jyrki

Sales Manager, Pakettipiste

I am a sales manager at Pakettipiste and I’m responsible for the sales of logistics services to potential clients. My work involves meeting not only new clients but also our current clients for the purpose of customer relationship management and further developing cooperation. I’m also involved in planning sales and marketing campaigns. With sales as part of the logistics team, I am involved in internal development to secure the quality of our services for our clients and to ensure that our product portfolio remains up to date, reflecting client needs and changes in the market.

I started at Lehtipiste two years ago when Pakettipiste was looking to further strengthen their sales team. I was familiar with Lehtipiste as a company, but the discussions during the application process only helped reinforce the positive image I already had of the company and made me even more interested in the vacancy. I had the opportunity to be part of the Pakettipiste sales team and join a growth-oriented business environment.

My colleagues are great people, we have a compact and efficient work community, and things move along nicely and execution is smooth. Management is professional and easy-going. We have no unnecessary bureaucracy, management is near, and they often work in the field. Comfortable open office, efficient tools and good employment benefits are added bonuses. It is inspiring to be involved in growth-oriented business environment while having the opportunity to develop your own professional expertise. I heartily recommend Lehtipiste as a place of work. We keep a brisk pace and set the bar high, but the overall mood is nice and casual!

Marke

Product Manager, Lehtipiste Oy

I work with magazines at Lehtipiste as a product manager. My work is both varied and inspiring! My duties include developing the product selection and its visibility for increased profitability together with my Lehtipiste colleagues and partners. I analyse sales, perform budgeting, attend meetings, perform planning, and keep up with the print product market from all channels. I am also a member of the Lehtipiste social media team. No two days are alike, which is a great blessing.

I got my start at Lehtipiste years ago. I was vacationing in Australia with my grandmother when the phone rang, and they asked if I would come work for them. I had to cut my vacation short but it is something I have never regretted. I have always been into magazines and books. I always begin my day with the print version of the Helsingin Sanomat newspaper, a habit I will never give up. I find it inspiring to work with these products and have front row seats to everything that keeps happening around them. I had heard many good things about Lehtipiste as an employer, so when opportunity presented itself, I did not hesitate.

And for all these years, I have stayed for the interesting industry, the wonderful products, the great partners, the significant personnel benefits – and of course the best colleagues in the world. If you are looking for interesting and varied duties, innovation, good personnel benefits and wonderful colleagues – come and join us!

Marika

Logistics Assistant, Lehtipiste Oy

Currently, I am in charge of preparing picking sessions at the dispatch office, ensuring that the right products are available with the right information. I scan the images for our distributed magazines and handle any odd jobs that come across during the day. When I have the chance, I help at other posts, such as with additional orders. In short, I am a logistics assistant.

It was November 2007 when a friend of mine, who had worked here, told me there was a vacancy and gave me a number to call. Shortly after the phone call, I got my start here through a temporary work agency. My initial duties here were with picking, and after about three months I moved to logging magazine returns. At the time, stores submitted their returns in paper format, and the papers were scanned into the software for processing. This was called “optical logging.” While there, I also worked with billing; account postings and purchase invoicing. And when paper returns became obsolete, I switched over to the newspaper picking process. I have now worked in my current position as a logistics assistant for several years.

Having become an official Lehtipiste employee on the first day of 2011, I really like my work. I have been on this journey for a number of years now and hopefully will continue to do so! I feel that Lehtipiste is a good and responsible employer. As I said earlier, I have come to know the world of magazines in many ways. When I was young, I worked at a store, processed magazine returns and stocked the magazine shelves. And now I’m here, managing magazine deliveries to stores.
