FastSigns Alcoa

DIRECTOR OF SALES & OPERATIONS Sign Production & Visual Communications | East Tennessee | Relocation Welcome

This Isn't a Job. It's a Platform.

FastSigns Alcoa. is a fast-growing visual communications company based in the heart of East Tennessee — and we're building something big. We're not looking for someone to fill a seat. We're looking for an industry veteran who thinks like an owner, sells like a champion, and is ready to plant a flag in a market loaded with opportunity and lead our growth from the front.

If you've spent years in the sign and print industry, know the business inside and out, and have been waiting for the right opportunity to stop being a cog and start being the engine — this is your call.

The Opportunity

East Tennessee is in the middle of an economic explosion — construction, hospitality, retail, tourism, and commercial development are all surging. The demand for quality sign production, branded environments, vehicle wraps, apparel, and promotional goods is growing faster than the current market can serve. We've built the infrastructure. Now we need the right leader to drive the business into its next chapter.

We are prepared to recruit the best person in the country for this role. Geography is not a barrier — relocation assistance is on the table for the right candidate.

The Role

As Director of Sales & Operations, you are the face of GoTeez. You own the relationship from first contact to finished product. You understand the full lifecycle of a sign and print business — estimating, production workflow, vendor relationships, client management, team leadership, and closing deals — and you can move fluently between all of it in a single day.

This is not a back-office role. You will be in the market, in front of customers, building a book of business, and building a team beneath you.

What You'll Own

Drive new business development — prospecting, cold outreach, networking, community presence

Manage and grow existing customer accounts — upselling, retention, and referral generation

Produce accurate and competitive estimates for sign production, screen printing, apparel, and promotional products

Oversee production floor operations and ensure on-time, on-spec delivery

Collaborate with design and production teams on client specs and approvals

Recruit, train, and develop a sales and support team as the business scales

Report directly to ownership with clear KPIs, pipeline reporting, and growth targets

Develop pricing strategies, vendor relationships, and supplier negotiations

Champion company culture — this is a team-first, excellence-first environment

What We're Looking For

Non-negotiables:

5+ years in the sign, print, or visual communications industry in a sales or operations leadership role

Deep working knowledge of sign production — substrates, installation, vehicle wraps, channel letters, wide format, apparel, promo

Proven track record of building and closing a sales pipeline independently

Estimating experience — you know how to price a job and protect the margin

Strong communicator who can represent the brand professionally at every level

Owner mentality — you treat the business like it's yours because we want you to act like it is

What sets the A-players apart:

Experience managing a production team or shop floor

Existing relationships with commercial contractors, developers, or retailers in any market

Comfort with CRM tools, quoting software, and basic production scheduling systems

Entrepreneurial mindset with a bias toward action over analysis paralysis

Willingness to relocate to the Knoxville/East Tennessee area

Compensation & Benefits

We believe in paying for performance and rewarding people who build real value. Compensation is designed to be highly competitive and structured to grow with the role.

Base salary commensurate with experience

Performance-based commission and bonus structure — uncapped earning potential tied to revenue growth

Relocation assistance available for the right candidate

Opportunity to grow into a equity or profit-sharing arrangement as the business scales

Paid time off, holidays, and a flexible environment built on trust and results

Who We Are

FastSign Alcoa is not a corporate machine. We're a driven, close-knit team that takes the work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. We move fast, solve problems, and celebrate wins. The people who thrive here are self-starters who want ownership over their outcomes — not a manual to follow.

East Tennessee is one of the best places in America to live and build a life — low cost of living, incredible outdoor access, a booming economy, and a community that still feels like community. If you've been waiting for the right market and the right company, this is it.
