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

- Build business cases, manage negotiations, and close seven-figure deals
- 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
