Does he make his mark as an arranger? (6)

I believe the answer is:

scorer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'arranger?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'does he make his mark' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'mark' could be 'score' (synonyms) and 'score' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'r' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'as an' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scorer that I've seen before include "He scratches" , "Cricket official" , "One getting a goal" , "Keeper of the tally" , "He puts the ball in the net" .)
