• Expected on-target earnings: $150,000 to $225,000 or more, plus uncapped commission

Applicants prepare evidence of new-business wins, revenue-target achievement, consultative sales, complex solution-based services sales, and senior stakeholder relationships. The role also requires accurate forecasting, CRM discipline, proposal development, negotiation, and client-engagement transition work.

Sketch Deck provides creative production, branding, content, digital experiences, paid media, and flexible talent solutions. The manager connects those services with business needs identified by consumer brands, retail companies, beauty and fashion businesses, luxury and hospitality organizations, and CPG companies.

Discovery work reaches senior marketing, brand, and creative decision-makers. Commercial recommendations connect creative investment with business outcomes, while proposals and scopes set the terms for client engagements.
