The Account Executive is Style Blueprint's ambassador to prospective new clients: an in-person seller who loves Nashville, loves the chase, and is ready to build a book that spans beloved local businesses and larger firms and organizations alike, backed by a brand this city has trusted for 17 years.

Style Blueprint is a leading lifestyle media brand and, at our core, a connection company. Through approachable storytelling that feels like a conversation with an old friend, we inspire women to live healthy, fulfilling lives.

Style Blueprint is redefining itself into three divisions: SB Travel & Lifestyle, covering travel, food, style, and everyday living; SB Home, our vertical dedicated to home, interiors, and design; and SB Local, our city-specific editions led by Market Leaders in a growing number of markets.

Joining Style Blueprint means having a voice to shape the future of a growing media brand.

Recognized as one of the best small businesses to work at in Nashville (and beyond).

Imagine this:

It's Tuesday. You start with coffee downtown with the marketing director of a regional healthcare system, a relationship you've been building for a month. You leave with a proposal meeting on the books and a clear picture of what they actually need, because you asked great questions instead of just pitching.

You work your pipeline before lunch, notes in the CRM, next steps on the calendar.

In the afternoon, you meet the owner of a design-build firm who's been reading Style Blueprint for years and never knew she could partner with us.

Before signing off, you make sure your notes and activities are up to date in the CRM, you've checked what your follow-ups are for tomorrow, and you grab your partner or some friends to go try out a new restaurant in town - as you love staying in the know.

While at dinner, you run into an old friend who introduces you to someone who you end up making plans for a prospecting meeting next week. And, you find out about a great human-interest story – you jot a note to tell the Style Blueprint editorial team about it, as you know they would appreciate it. And, you know well that they'd do the same for you when it comes to a great potential marketing partner.

We're all on the same team.

If reading that put a smile on your face, keep going. If it sounded exhausting, this isn't your job, and that's fine too.
