What You’ll Do

The Account Director drives new client acquisition through focused business development across targeted industries and strategic trade shows. You will own the pursuit from first conversation through proposal, win, activation, and renewal.

You are not inheriting a book of business.
You are building one.

• Have a proven track record selling in competitive, RFP-driven environments
  


• Thrive in consultative sales and know how to uncover real client needs
  


• Enjoy presenting, leading conversations, and influencing decision-makers
  


• Are energized by building something, not inheriting something
  


• Stay resilient, focused, and competitive under pressure

What You Bring:

• 3+ years of business development or sales experience in a creative, experiential, or high-stakes industry (trade shows, events, marketing, design, or similar)
  


• Demonstrated success in formal RFP and competitive bid environments
  


• Experience managing complex, consultative sales cycles
  


• Strong CRM and pipeline management skills (HubSpot preferred)

Compensation & Growth

• Competitive base salary
  


• Commission and incentive structure tied to new business and renewals
  


• Top performers earn $200K–$300K+
  


• Annual performance reviews with a clear growth path within Sales & Business Development
  

What Sets Us Apart:

• Top Workplace Recognition: We’re not just saying we’re a great place to work - it’s been officially recognized
  


• We Rent, You Create: Our clients don’t buy exhibits. They rent. That means less rinse and repeat, and more room for bold, fresh ideas
  


• Design-Obsessed Culture: No creative silos. No ego wars. Just a team of high-performers who geek out on pushing boundaries
  


• Visible, Valued, and Supported: You won’t get lost in the machine. You’ll be seen, supported, and celebrated
  


• Creative Variety: Work with a range of world-class brands across multiple industries and events.

How We Support You

• Healthcare coverage (medical, dental, vision, voluntary plans, EAP)


• 401(k) with company matching


• Flexible Time Off (FTO), PTO for sick leave, and paid company holidays
