Responsive recruiter
Do you love great design and know how to turn it into lasting client partnerships? We are looking for a Sales & Relationship Manager who blends consultative selling with real design fluency, someone who can sit across the table from an architect, interior designer, or facilities leader and bring spaces to life through graphics, branded environments, and art.
The Role
You will be the face of our company to clients, from the first conversation through project completion. You will win new business, grow existing accounts, and guide clients to the right solutions, working side by side with our estimating, design, project management, and production teams. Our project managers handle internal execution, so you can focus on relationships and results.
What You Will Do
- Build and grow a pipeline of architects, designers, facility managers, corporate real estate teams, healthcare systems, and educational institutions.
- Lead client meetings, site visits, and discovery sessions, then deliver tailored proposals, quotes, and contracts.
- Serve as the trusted primary contact for your accounts, managing scope, timelines, and budgets while finding opportunities to expand the relationship.
- Kick off projects with our design, production, and installation teams and support project managers to keep work on quality, on budget, and on time.
- Advise clients on materials, finishes, fabrication, custom framing, and artwork, including evidence-based art selection for healthcare, assisted living, and memory care environments.
What You Bring
- A bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in architecture, interior design, graphic or environmental design, construction management, business, or a related field.
- 5+ years in business development, account management, project management, or sales in graphic production, signage, branded environments, architectural products, or workplace solutions.
- A proven record of winning new business while nurturing ongoing client relationships.
- Strong knowledge of graphic production, fabrication, printing, and installation, plus the ability to read floorplans, elevations, and design specifications.
- Excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation skills, and the ability to juggle multiple projects at once.
Bonus Points
- Existing relationships in the architecture and design community.
- Experience with the E2 platform.
- Knowledge of custom picture framing and evidence-based design for senior living and healthcare settings.

Company Overview
Founded in 1979 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, Creative Palette, Inc. is a visual branding and design firm that specializes in transforming interior environments. We serve as a "one-stop-shop" for commercial, medical, and retail clients, helping them define their brand and culture through physical space.
Our 2025 relocation to one building, enhanced our capabilities and collaboration, and streamlined operations, which allows us to maintain high quality control from the initial concept and design through to fabrication and installation.
Core Services
Our work is categorized into three primary pillars:
- Art: We provide art selection, consultation, and custom framing. Our team artists and fabricators work on projects ranging from single statement pieces to large-scale collections for healthcare facilities, senior living centers, and corporate offices. Our team curates, creates, and fabricates a cohesive art program that moves you from idea to installation with ease. By curating with emotion as the blueprint, we turn walls into experiences that draw people in, shape how they feel, and linger long after they’ve left the room.
- Branding & Environmental Graphics: This includes wallcoverings, window films, and environmental graphics that communicate a company's identity. We also specialize in custom fabrication of unique textures and forms (such as wood structures or faux finishes). We craft branded environments that speak for your brand. We start with your vision and transform it into an immersive world that tells an entire story. With forty years of experience and a team of dreamers and makers who are hyper-focused on excellence and detail, we build brand expressions that draw people in, shape how they feel, and call them back.
- Architectural Solutions & Signage: We design and install interior signage, wayfinding systems, and ADA-compliant layouts. Our architectural product lines are designed to create "immersive environments" that are functional yet visually striking.
When space needs more than off-the-shelf materials can offer, we create architectural elements that work even better. Guided by your goals, we find materials that solve your challenges and collaborate with you to ensure effortless execution. The result is an elevated aesthetic for the entire space and an environment that functions beautifully.
