Job Description

Key Account Manager – Custom Products & Branded Merchandise

Location: Milwaukee, WI (On-Site)

A rapidly growing, well-established company in the custom products and branded merchandise space is looking to add an Account Manager to their team.

This organization has been a trusted name in the industry for over 30 years and is now entering a major growth phase backed by private investment, with plans to double revenue over the next 5 years.

If you’re someone who thrives on building relationships and winning new business—this is the kind of role where you can make a real impact.

What You’ll Do

• Develop new business while managing and growing an existing book of accounts
• Build relationships with corporate and nonprofit clients
• Partner internally to deliver custom solutions (apparel, promotional products, branded programs)
• Identify opportunities to expand accounts and increase long-term value

What Makes This Opportunity Different

• Not a cold start — step into an existing book of business
• Strong internal infrastructure for sourcing, customization, and fulfillment
• High level of repeat business and long-term client relationships
• Company in full growth mode with clear expansion goals
• Direct visibility to leadership and real influence on company success
• Opportunity for long-term advancement (leadership track potential)

What We’re Looking For

• 3–5+ years of B2B sales or account management experience
• Background in promotional products, apparel, print, or custom manufacturing strongly preferred
• Proven track record of business development and revenue growth
• A “hunter” mentality with the ability to build lasting relationships
• Curious, driven, and motivated to learn and grow

Compensation & Benefits

• Base Salary: $60,000 – $100,000 (based on experience)
• Commission/Bonus: ~$30,000+ upside
• Full Benefits Package
• Strong earning potential tied directly to performance

Why This Role Matters

This position is critical to the company’s growth. Without it, expansion slows—meaning you’ll step into a role where your success is highly visible and highly valued.

If you're looking for a role where you can build something—not just maintain it—this is worth a conversation.
