Job description

Fifth Street DMC builds experiences that last because the business behind them is built to last. Creativity opens the door, but relationships, market expertise, and follow-through are what drive sustained growth. We believe sales is not order-taking, it’s stewardship. It’s about directing the right business into the right markets and building partnerships that compound over time. This role exists because design excellence must be executable and profitable.

YOU: You are a relationship-driven operator who thinks in both experience and execution. You are calm under pressure, financially fluent, and highly accountable for outcomes.

You:

• Lead with relationships but think in logistics and delivery
• Translate client goals into clear plans, budgets, and production strategies
• Anticipate risks early and solve them before they surface
• Are confident managing both clients and vendors
• Care deeply about quality, margin, and follow-through

You don’t just manage projects—you own results from first conversation to final invoice.

Our Core Values

• Build Like a Partner: We show up like owners, not order-takers. We collaborate, contribute, and co-create. We don’t just pass the baton — we run beside each other with shared vision and full commitment.
• Own The Outcome: Everyone leads from where they stand. We take full responsibility- not just for tasks, but for results. We don’t wait to be told – we build to be proud.
• Make Moments Matter: We don’t just do work — we create meaning. Every email, interaction, and touchpoint is a chance to leave someone better than we found them.
• Purposeful Excellence: Excellence isn’t a flex — it’s a form of care. We pursue mastery not for ego, but because people, moments, and missions deserve our best.
