About Brilliant:
Brilliant is an innovative branded products and corporate gifting company. With a focus on creativity and technology, Brilliant curates, produces, and helps companies distribute memorable branded merchandise and custom products.
Whether it's newsworthy press kits, welcome gifts for new hires, merch sets to promote a product launch, or giveaways people love, our team of retail trend experts, designers and engineers work together to produce impactful products that bring brands to life.
Services include concepting, sourcing, design, packaging, merch collections, company stores, touchpoint gifting, warehousing, fulfillment and distribution. Technology is part of our DNA.
Our proprietary technology gives clients instantaneous access to important information and tools, including real-time inventory data, on-demand fulfillment services and convenient 3rd party system integrations, such as Workday, Salesforce, Zapier and more (180+ countries, 6 warehouses), and hands-on creative collaboration brilliantmade.com.
What You’ll Do:
We are looking for a dynamic and strategic Account Executive to drive both new client acquisition and account growth within the Financial Services sector. Financial services firms compete fiercely for talent, obsess over brand and client experience, and operate in compliance-conscious environments where execution and discretion matter.
This role is for someone who understands those dynamics and can translate them into gifting, merchandise, and event programs that land. Brilliant already powers gifting and merchandise programs for some of the most respected names in financial services, including Optiver, Jump Trading, Block, PayPal, Moelis & Company, and many more.
