Role Overview The Rocky Mountain Account Executive serves as a brand ambassador for the FSCO portfolio across Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Aspen, and Vail, cultivating lasting relationships with leading interior designers, architects, and developers while driving growth across fabric, wallcovering, rugs, and trim. This is a highly field-focused, relationship-driven role requiring approximately 50% travel to meet with clients in person, understand their needs, present thoughtfully curated product solutions, and identify opportunities across Schumacher, Patterson Flynn, Tillett Textiles, and Backdrop. Account Executive Responsibilities Territory Ownership Develop and grow sales across Schumacher, Patterson Flynn, Tillett Textiles, and Backdrop, spanning fabric, wallcovering, trim, and rugs within your geographic territory. Cultivate a strategic view of your territory, including leading firms, rising design studios, dormant accounts ready for reactivation, new business opportunities, and the trade events that shape the market. Know your client. Develop a strong understanding of each firm’s aesthetic, project mix, and business needs, and use that knowledge to thoughtfully curate each meeting—knowing which brands, categories, and products to lead with to make every client interaction relevant and impactful. Consistently meet monthly, quarterly, and annual sales plans across all brands and categories, taking shared ownership with your sales partners for the strategy and execution required to achieve them. Main areas of travel (with additional cities possible as territory grows): Colorado: Aspen, Vail Idaho: Boise, Sun Valley Montana: Bozeman, Big Sky, Missoula, Whitefish Wyoming: Jackson Relationship Building Be present in the field, including designer offices, project sites, industry events, designer dinners, and other relevant events and gatherings.

Serve as a brand ambassador within the local design community, representing FSCO and its portfolio with professionalism, warmth, strong product knowledge, and a genuine passion for design. Lead Generation & Cross-Sell Generate qualified opportunities across every brand and category, partnering with your inside colleagues to bring each opportunity through to close. Provide clear briefs, relevant designer and project context, and timely follow-through so the inside team can execute effectively. Identify natural cross-sell opportunities across the portfolio. Every Schumacher account is a potential Patterson Flynn rug opportunity, every Tillett project may present a custom rug specification, and every wallcovering installation may create a trim opportunity. Bring the full portfolio into client conversations thoughtfully and strategically. Curation & Product Storytelling Curate the sample story for each account with thoughtful consideration of the firm’s aesthetic, current projects, and clients. Lead project shops, line shows, and in-person presentations with clarity, taste, and confidence. Act as a knowledgeable brand ambassador, staying deeply current on product launches, collaborations, brand stories, and trends across the portfolio. Pipeline & Partnership Use FSCO’s CRM, sample tools, and reporting platforms with discipline, maintaining clean, accurate, and current account records. Partner closely with your inside team as equal collaborators, recognizing the distinct expertise each person brings to the account. Clear communication, mutual respect, and shared ownership are essential to the work. Communicate progress, blockers, opportunities, and pipeline status to your Managing Director and inside partners on a regular cadence.
