At SketchDeck, we aim to bring great people together to deliver exceptional impact. Through a combination of purpose-driven partnership, technology, and global talent, we help brands realize their limitless potential with quality creative and digital solutions provided on demand. We work with clients ranging from startups to well-known enterprise brands such as Dropbox, Rémy Cointreau, and Asana.

- Win as a Team.
- Find Solutions.
- Take Ownership.

Guided by our vision to be the best full-service creative partner, we empower our team to collaborate and innovate from anywhere with a flexible, remote-first culture. Our camera-on, Slack-heavy environment cultivates genuine relationships and collaboration, where we actively seek culture add, not just culture fit.
We’re looking for a Senior Manager, Client Services to join our growing team. In this role, you’ll be at the forefront of our client relationships—leading conversations, building trust, and delivering creative solutions that drive impact. You’ll help grow new and existing accounts, guide clients through our proposal and pitch process, and collaborate with internal teams to bring creative ideas to life. This strategic, client-facing role is ideal for someone who is equal parts relationship-builder, problem-solver, and creative thinker. This role reports to the Vice President, Client Services.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE:
Strategic Client Partnerships – You’re the go-to advisor for clients, driving trust and long-term relationships by consistently delivering value and identifying opportunities.
- Measured by client retention, upsell rate, and feedback.
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.

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.
What You’ll Do:
Be the strategic partner clients rely on. Build trusted relationships that position you as an extension of their team and brand.
Lead with impact. Drive new business conversations, uncover client needs, and shape creative strategies that lead to ongoing partnerships—especially $1M+ AOR relationships.
Own the sales process. From discovery to pitch, you’ll lead the end-to-end experience for prospective clients, turning opportunities into long-term wins.
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 We’re Looking For:
- 7+ years of client services, business development, or account management experience—3+ years within a creative agency, consultancy, or marketing environment.
- 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.
- Passion for creativity, brand, and design—and the ability to speak fluently about them.
If you’re excited to help top brands bring their stories to life—and want to join a fast-moving, creative team doing great work together—we’d love to hear from you.
We value diverse perspectives and are committed to an environment where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work daily. If you’re excited about a role but don’t meet every qualification, we still encourage you to apply—studies show that women and people of color are less likely to apply unless they meet all the requirements.
