We are looking for a driven, professional, and growth-minded B2B Sales & Client Account Specialist / Apprentice Graphic Designer to join our team in Long Island, New York.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who is strong in B2B sales, customer relationships, project coordination, permitting, and account support, and who also wants to grow into the graphic design and sign-production side of the business through direct mentoring and hands-on training.

We are building a very healthy, robust, and motivated team that looks forward, takes on challenges, supports one another, and creates real opportunities to grow and advance together. This role is ideal for someone who wants more than a job. It is for someone who wants a long-term path in the sign and graphics industry.
