We’re looking for a seasoned Growth Manager who thrives on the challenge of navigating complex organisations and surfacing strategic opportunities that drive sustainable, long-term growth.
You’ll have the freedom to shape your own pipeline and approach, while being supported by a collaborative global team and a strong, insight-led proposition.

About the role

Sitting at the heart of the sales function, you’ll play a key role in shaping how Canvas8 shows up in the region - leading with thoughtful, insight-driven conversations that resonate with senior stakeholders. You’ll be responsible for building momentum across a defined portfolio of target accounts, turning early engagement into meaningful, long-term partnerships.
Reporting to the APAC Regional Lead and working closely with regional and global colleagues, you’ll contribute to a broader commercial strategy while operating with a high degree of autonomy. Success in this role comes from balancing business development with commercial rigour - growing a high-quality pipeline, strengthening market presence, and laying the foundations for sustained expansion across APAC.
