Overview

Skyline Search Partners is partnering with an established national provider of point-of-purchase displays, retail signage, large-format graphics, and visual merchandising solutions to expand its nationwide sales organization. Our client designs and manufactures retail marketing solutions for some of the country’s most recognizable retailers and consumer brands. Following a recent ownership transition, the company is making significant investments in new equipment, technology, software, manufacturing capabilities, and people. The organization plans to hire multiple experienced business development professionals throughout the United States. This is an excellent opportunity to join an established industry leader during a major phase of investment and growth.

About the Role

The Account Executive will develop new business with retailers, national brands, and multi-location organizations while growing existing customer relationships. This role is ideal for a proven sales hunter who understands the retail display and visual communications industry, has established customer relationships, and wants the freedom to build a nationwide book of business. Sales professionals are not restricted to a defined geographic territory. You will be able to pursue opportunities wherever you have relationships or identify potential business.

Responsibilities

  • Develop new business with retailers, national brands, consumer products companies, and multi-location organizations
  • Build and manage a strong pipeline of qualified opportunities
  • Leverage existing industry relationships while prospecting for new accounts
  • Sell point-of-purchase and point-of-sale displays, retail signage, large-format graphics, display graphics, labels, fulfillment services, and related retail marketing solutions
  • Grow existing customer relationships by identifying additional products, locations, and programs
  • Develop long-term relationships with decision-makers in marketing, procurement, retail operations, visual merchandising, and related functions
  • Collaborate with internal estimating, project management, design, manufacturing, and production teams
  • Guide customers from initial concept and quoting through production and delivery
  • Travel as needed to meet with customers, prospects, and internal team members
  • Participate in quarterly company meetings

Qualifications

  • Proven success in outside sales, business development, or account development
  • Relevant experience selling one or more of the following:
  • Point-of-purchase or point-of-sale displays
  • Retail signage
  • Large-format digital printing
  • Retail graphics or display graphics
  • Visual merchandising solutions
  • Retail marketing materials
  • Labels or related printed products
  • A hunter mentality with a demonstrated ability to identify, pursue, and win new business
  • Experience selling to retail chains, national brands, restaurants, grocery companies, home-improvement retailers, convenience stores, consumer packaged goods companies, or other multi-location organizations
  • Established customer relationships or a transferable industry network
  • Ability to manage a sales process independently with minimal oversight
  • Strong communication, presentation, relationship-building, and negotiation skills
  • Willingness and ability to travel as business needs require

Required Skills

Especially Relevant Backgrounds: Candidates coming from point-of-purchase displays, retail signage, large-format graphics, visual merchandising, retail marketing, labels, or closely related industries will receive the strongest consideration. This opportunity is less suited to candidates whose experience is limited to traditional commercial printing, including brochures, annual reports, or direct mail. Packaging-only sales experience without exposure to large-format graphics, displays, or retail signage is also unlikely to align.

Preferred Skills

Why Consider This Opportunity? Join an established industry leader entering a major growth and investment phase. Represent expanded manufacturing, technology, and production capabilities. Build your own nationwide book of business without geographic territory restrictions. Leverage existing customer relationships and industry expertise. Work directly with executive sales leadership. Operate with significant autonomy and entrepreneurial freedom. Influence the continued development of a growing national sales organization. Benefit from extensive onboarding, training, and internal sales support. Pursue uncapped commission and substantial earning potential. Join an organization planning multiple sales hires across the United States.

Pay range and compensation package

  • Base salary of $80,000–$100,000+, with flexibility for exceptionally qualified candidates
  • Uncapped commission equal to 5% of gross sales revenue
  • Strong performers can earn $200,000–$300,000+
  • Top producers may earn $400,000–$500,000+
