We're looking for a Strategic Account Executive to win the largest accounts in the markets Canals serves.

You'll pursue the top companies in each vertical: organizations with complex buying processes, long sales cycles, and the potential for seven-figure deals. You'll build relationships with senior executives, develop a clear strategy for each account, and bring complex opportunities from first conversation through close.

What You'll Do

  • Build account plans that map stakeholders, priorities, buying processes, and paths to a deal
  • Develop relationships with senior executives and earn credibility as a partner in solving consequential business problems
  • Lead discovery and connect Canals' capabilities to each customer's operations and goals
  • Navigate complex evaluations involving multiple teams and decision makers

  • Maintain a disciplined pipeline and communicate deal progress and risks clearly
  • Collaborate with internal teams to develop solutions and move opportunities forward
What You'll Bring
  • A demonstrated history of closing seven-figure B2B deals
  • The ability to explain your biggest wins in detail: what you sold, who was involved, what obstacles you faced, who you competed against, and how you got the deal done
  • Experience selling into large, complex organizations with long sales cycles and multiple stakeholders
  • Strong executive presence and the ability to engage senior decision makers as a credible peer
  • Excellent discovery, account strategy, negotiation, and closing skills
  • Sound judgment about where to invest time and how to move a complex deal forward
  • Ownership of your pipeline, forecast, and results
