Canvs AI is a PE-backed AI analytics platform that empowers marketing teams and leaders to track not only what shifted in customer experiences across physical, online, and live-event interactions, but also why it shifted - and what actions need to be taken to retain revenue, avoid losses, or strengthen brand loyalty. Trusted by some of the world's most recognized companies including Netflix, eBay, Amazon, Walmart, Disney, Mastercard, Comcast, CVS Health, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Panera Bread, Canvs transforms open-ended customer feedback from surveys, reviews, and social listening into structured, trackable intelligence that helps insights teams make faster, more defensible decisions.
Founded over 10 years ago, Canvs is a foundational AI company that pioneered emotion and reaction intelligence long before generative AI entered the mainstream — building the structured frameworks and longitudinal tracking capabilities that enterprise insights teams rely on today.
The Opportunity
We're hiring a Account Executive to drive new logo acquisition and expand Canvs' footprint across media, entertainment, streaming, and adjacent verticals.

You'll report directly to senior leadership and operate with significant autonomy in a high-growth, PE-backed environment where your results have direct impact on the company's trajectory.

- Build and execute multi-threaded outreach into target accounts across marketing insight teams, media networks, , agencies, and consumer brands
- Qualify inbound pipeline, conduct deep discovery, and translate customer research and VoC challenges into compelling Canvs use cases
- Develop account plans for named strategic prospects, engaging executive stakeholders across Insights, Research, Marketing, and Strategy functions
- Accurately forecast pipeline and manage a CRM-disciplined sales process in Hubspot
- Partner with Customer Success to identify expansion signals and support upsell motions within your book of business
- Serve as a credible domain expert on AI-powered feedback analytics, emotional intelligence, and consumer research trends

- Skilled at multi-threaded enterprise selling across Insights, Research, and Marketing personas
- Excellent written and verbal communication; able to navigate complex buying committees and present at the executive level
- CRM discipline and pipeline hygiene — you manage Salesforce like a business, not a reporting tool
