About The Position

CR&A Custom Inc. is a premier Los Angeles large-format printing company specializing in creative visual solutions—from vinyl banners, barricades, and custom signage to building wraps, vehicle graphics, and floor visuals. We are seeking a motivated, self-starting Account Executive with current domain knowledge in grand-format printing to drive revenue across Events, Retail campaigns, Tradeshows, and Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising. This role combines proactive consultative sales and business development with end-to-end account leadership and project execution.

Requirements

• Demonstrated success meeting sales targets and managing complex custom manufacturing workflows.
• Strong presentation, time management, and problem-solving skills with a proactive, customer-first mindset.
• Current domain knowledge in grand-format printing.
• Deep understanding of wide-format digital presses, ink performance, and substrate applications (pressure-sensitive vinyl, mesh banners, acrylics, fabrics, and rigid media).
• Working knowledge of color management, CMYK vector specs, site survey readings, and building precise job ticket packages for production.
• Familiarity with finishing processes (CNC contour cutting, seam welding, laminating) and installation mechanics (permits, rigging, bucket lifts, site requirements).
• Ability to leverage CR&A’s certified MBE/WBE status to help enterprise and municipal clients meet procurement diversity goals.

Nice To Haves

• A current book of business is highly desirable.

Responsibilities

• Prospect new B2B clients, aggressively convert provided leads, and expand existing accounts.
• Scrape project needs, conduct site evaluations, recommend substrates/materials, and deliver professional pitch presentations.
• Serve as the central point of contact to ensure jobs match original quotes (size, color, finishing). Re-quote variations promptly and deliver accurate pricing updates to clients.
• Issue clear job instructions and job tickets to internal production teams, establish project priorities, and manage critical dates (proof approvals, delivery milestones).
• Lead prompt pre-invoice preparation, capture all billable costs for accounting, resolve production/client escalations, and maintain strict adherence to workplace safety standards.
• Travel as needed for client entertainment, site visits, and industry trade events.
