About SketchDeck

SketchDeck is building the model for the next generation of creative agencies. Through a combination of technology, partnership, and a global talent community, SketchDeck gives marketers access to quality creative on demand. We work with clients from startups to well-known enterprise brands such as Dropbox, Rémy Cointreau, and Asana.

At SketchDeck, our global community is united by our values. Together, we commit to :

  • Work as a team
  • Push boundaries
  • Act with humility
  • Take ownership
  • Have heart

As a remote-first company, these core values serve as the operating principles for our daily behaviors. They are more to us than a few feel-good mantras. Being a SketchDecker means you hold yourself and others accountable for preserving and progressing our culture.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Manager, Client Services to win, manage, and grow high-value client partnerships.

You’ll lead the full cycle—from prospecting and closing new accounts to expanding and strengthening existing relationships.

This role blends strategic sales and client leadership : you’ll identify opportunities, pitch creative solutions, and ensure SketchDeck delivers measurable business impact for every client.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally. Work with Design Directors, PMs, and operations to ensure a seamless transition from pitch to delivery.
  • Grow accounts over time. Identify opportunities to deepen partnerships and expand the scope of our work through upselling, referrals, and co-selling with 24 Seven.
  • Vet and prioritize leads. Qualify inbound interest and proactively prospect to build a healthy pipeline of accounts aligned with SketchDeck’s services.
  • Support business operations. Contribute to internal process improvements, keep CRM up to date, and bring ideas to the table to evolve how we grow.
  • WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE :

  • Seamless Project Execution – You ensure smooth transitions from pitch to project, keeping work on track and aligned with client goals.

  • Measured by project margin and internal feedback.
  • Account Growth – You grow accounts by uncovering new opportunities, connecting cross-functional needs, and positioning SketchDeck’s full services.

  • Measured by revenue growth, proposals sent, and new teams sourced.
  • Strong Internal Collaboration – You collaborate effectively across teams, keeping everyone aligned and driving positive outcomes for clients.

  • Measured by peer feedback and team impact on accounts.
  • Requirements

  • A proven ability to sell and grow enterprise accounts.
  • Experience leading creative or marketing strategies and seeing them through execution.
  • A consultative and strategic approach to selling—able to inspire clients while staying grounded in their business goals.
  • Strong organizational and communication skills; able to manage multiple stakeholders and projects simultaneously.
