About the job

Where relationships meet creativity—and ideas turn into results. If you are a superstar Account Manager, you are who we want!

At Blue Sky Marketing, branded merch does more than showcase a logo—it builds connection, culture, and memorable experiences. As a growing, family-owned company, we’re investing in a high-performing business development team—and we’re looking for a standout Account Manager to join it.

We want someone proactive, creative, and commercially minded—someone who enjoys solving problems, building relationships, and finding smarter, more compelling solutions for clients.

But let’s be clear: this isn’t a traditional “take the order and move it along” Account Manager role:

  • We’re looking for someone who is driven, proactive, creative, curious, and commercially minded
  • Someone who gets excited by the challenge of solving problems
  • Someone who sees a client brief and immediately starts thinking: “We could do something way more interesting than the obvious choice.”
  • Someone who loves building relationships—but also loves winning
  • If you thrive in fast-moving environments, have promotional products distributorship experience, enjoy bringing ideas to the table, and want to work shoulder-to-shoulder with a high-performing, ambitious team ....you might be our person

What You’ll Do

Drive growth and strengthen relationships

  • Partner with the Business Development team on prospecting and account growth
  • Build trusted client relationships through responsiveness and problem-solving
  • Bring proactive, creative ideas—not just react to requests
  • Identify opportunities to expand accounts and elevate client thinking

Own execution from start to finish

  • Manage projects from concept through delivery (quotes, sourcing, timelines, production)
  • Coordinate with vendors, internal teams, and clients
  • Track details in Commonsku, HubSpot, and project systems
  • Anticipate challenges and keep projects moving smoothly

Help shape how we sell

  • Collaborate with a high-energy team
  • Contribute ideas, improve processes, and gain exposure to strategy
  • Take real ownership in a fast-growing business

What You Bring

  • At least 3 years experience working for a promotional products distributorship - this is a requirement!
  • Strong relationship-building and execution skills
  • Creative thinking and problem-solving mindset
  • High attention to detail with a proactive, can-do attitude
  • Comfort in fast-paced, evolving environments

Bonus: Experience with Commonsku, HubSpot, or business development support.

Why Blue Sky

  • People-first, family-owned culture
  • Collaborative, ambitious team environment
  • Real ownership and career growth opportunities
  • Work that’s both results-driven and enjoyable

The Details

  • Location: Remote, PST time zone preferred
  • Compensation: Base + commission + bonus - OTE $90k+
  • Growth: Significant advancement opportunities

One Last Thing

If you’re looking for predictable, this isn’t it.

Yes, we care deeply about results. We also believe laughter, relationships, and loving what you do matter. So if you’re energized by growth, love solving problems, and want to build something meaningful—we’d love to hear from you.
