About us
SpeedPro Windy City is a large-format printing and signage studio in Downers Grove. We produce window graphics, wall murals, vehicle and fleet wraps, trade show displays, and signage for clients across Chicagoland and the nation. We are the ones behind the fleet of trucks you see everywhere, and we design, produce, and install the murals and graphics you see at businesses, universities, and sports arenas. We are a small team with big clients, and we are building the side of the business that serves brands with many locations.
About this role
You own our multi-location relationships: franchise systems, national brands with Chicago-area sites, property groups, and the agencies that buy for them. These are program accounts. The same graphics package goes into twenty or two hundred locations, on a schedule, to a brand standard, with a purchase order and a certificate of insurance for every site. You are the person who makes that happen and who turns one location into the next forty.
This is a growth seat. You will service the accounts we have, but the job is measured on the accounts you build.
You do not need print experience. You need to have grown a book of business-to-business accounts and to like learning how things are made. We will teach you our materials, our methods, and our pricing.
What you will own
Account growth
Grow existing national and franchise accounts: more locations, more product lines, longer agreements
Prospect and land new program accounts: franchisors, multi-location operators, brand and facilities managers, agencies
Build the relationships that get us specified into brand standards, so the next location comes to us by default
Program management
Scope, quote, and manage rollouts across many sites: site surveys, specs, proofs, production schedules, install windows, and close-out
Manage the paperwork that program accounts run on: vendor onboarding portals, purchase orders, certificates of insurance, W-9s, net terms, and permits
Coordinate with our office manager and production team so program work flows through the shop without disrupting local orders
Keep every open program visible: what is approved, what is in production, what is installed, what is invoiced
Client relationship
Be the single point of contact your accounts trust
Run quarterly reviews with your top accounts; know their rollout calendar before they tell you
Resolve issues fast and in writing. A missed install at one site cannot become a lost account
What we are looking for
Required
Three or more years in business-to-business account management, inside or outside sales, or client program management, with responsibility for growing revenue, not just servicing it
Experience with multi-location, franchise, or program accounts in any industry: uniforms, fixtures, facilities services, promotional products, packaging, point-of-purchase displays, commercial furniture, construction services, or similar
Comfortable with specifications, dimensions, and production files. You will learn our materials and methods here; you need to be someone who likes learning how things are made
Organized enough to run many concurrent orders across many sites without dropping one. You keep a system, and it is written down
Clear, direct writer. Program accounts run on email and documentation
Valid driver’s license. Local travel to client sites and installs
Based in Downers Grove with flexibility for client visits
Strong plus
Sign, print, graphics, trade show, or point-of-purchase industry experience
Selling to or working inside a franchise system
Agency-side production or account experience
CRM or order management systems. We use CoreBridge
Familiarity with permits, certificates of insurance, and vendor compliance portals
What this is not
This is not a design seat, and it is not a phone-bank sales job. It is relationship and program work with a technical product, for someone who wants to build a book of accounts that renews.
How to apply
Send us your resume and, if you have one, a short note on the largest multi-location account you have managed or grown. If it looks like a fit, we will set up a call.
