About Verve
Verve is a next-gen market research/insight agency. Our goal is to expand what’s possible in consumer insight by combining the best of Human, Cultural, and Artificial Intelligence to help some of the world’s most iconic brands make faster, smarter decisions. Brands like TD Bank, Samsung, Unilever, Mars Petcare, and Shell.
Through a combination of online research communities, insight consultancy, culture and futures, and our AI-powered insight platform (Verve Vero), we fuse rigour, creativity and next-gen tech to deliver transformative solutions and deeper insight.
We move fast, think hard, and keep people at the heart. Verve is a place where curiosity leads, creativity drives solutions, and every team member can shape what comes next. We’re not just responding to change, we’re defining it.
The Role
We are looking for a Senior Director/Vice President to lead net-new growth for Verve Intelligent Personas & Simulations - a next-generation AI insight solution trusted by brands like Samsung, Mars, and Unilever. You’ll lead strategic sales conversations with senior stakeholders in insight, marketing, innovation and strategy - helping them reimagine how they activate insight and unlock commercial value through simulation. This is a high-impact, individual contributor role. You’ll own the full deal cycle - from first contact through to commercial close - working closely with sector leads, strategists, and product specialists. In addition to this, you will lead the TD Bank account driving forward delivery of high-quality insights with the team and closely working with the team to develop the account. This role is ideal for someone who combines commercial acumen with a strategic consulting mindset, and who can confidently translate complex insight needs into opportunities for growth.
Key Responsibilities
• Create, qualify, and convert new opportunities across Financial Services, FMCG, retail, tech, media, and other sectors
• Lead discovery calls and frame sharp, contextual solutions based on role, use case and sector
• Shape high-value proposals with a clear ROI, pilot-to-scale logic, and time-to-value lens
• Engage multiple senior stakeholders across complex buying groups
• Collaborate with strategy and product teams to build compelling, creative proposals
• Own commercial conversations, from pricing to procurement - with senior support as needed
• Feed insight into Product, Sector and Marketing teams to sharpen positioning and campaigns
• Design and deliver great insight, building strong client relationships along the way.
What We’re Looking For
• Minimum 7 years’ insight experience, aligned with Senior Director/Vice President level
• Strong interest with AI-driven insight solutions
• Proven track record of growing client accounts within insight / consultancy
• Strong commercial instincts - balancing client needs with revenue growth
• A clear, compelling communicator who can cut through complexity
• Confidence engaging senior stakeholders and influencing direction
• Experience framing opportunities into commercially robust proposals
• Entrepreneurial, curious, and resilient - who thrives in fast-moving environments
• A strong existing network within and/or across sectors
• This is a remote role ideally for someone based in Chicago, otherwise anywhere in North America
What We Offer
• The opportunity to work at the forefront of Human, Cultural, and AI intelligence
• A collaborative, ambitious environment where your impact is visible
• Autonomy to shape growth for your clients with the support to make it happen
