About the role
As a Brand Partner, you’ll help new clients turn a business need into a thoughtful merchandise program. This is Stitchi’s account executive role, focused on discovery, new business, and identifying growth opportunities.

- Work with the account team on proposals, samples, and pricing that balance brand fit, delivery feasibility, and margin.
- Guide commercial conversations through a decision, confirm commitments in writing, and bring exceptions to the appropriate approver.
- Keep opportunity records, forecasts, and follow-ups current so the team knows what is likely to close and what is needed next.
- Introduce the Account Manager with clear client context and identify further growth opportunities together as the relationship develops.
What you’ll bring
- Experience in sales, account management, or another client-facing role; 1–3 years is helpful.
- Confidence starting conversations, asking thoughtful questions, presenting recommendations, and asking for a decision.
- Reliable follow-through across several opportunities and comfort keeping a CRM up to date.
- Interest in physical products, design, and how companies use merchandise to connect with people.
- Promotional products, agency, events, or B2B service experience is a plus.
