Senior Account Executive, Enterprise Branded Merchandise & Swag Kits

Your "unfair advantage" in the market will be our internal fulfillment center, allowing you to sell automated, store-backed swag programs that traditional distributors struggle to deliver.

Key Responsibilities

Account Generation: Identify, target, and acquire corporate accounts requiring ongoing promotional merchandise, custom apparel, and specialized kit presentations.

Consultative Merchandising: Work closely with clients to curate trend-forward, high-quality products that align with their brand identity, sustainability goals, and campaign budgets.

Kitting & Packaging Design: Collaborate with our creative and warehouse teams to design memorable unboxing experiences (selecting custom boxes, tissue, inserts, and decoration methods).

Program Expansion: Convert transactional order buyers into recurring, long-term program accounts (e.g., employee onboarding portals, company stores, sales incentive programs).

Supplier & Factory Coordination: Maintain strong relationships with suppliers, decorators, and factories to ensure timely production and healthy gross margins.
