About Akkroo

Hi, we’re Akkroo: a vibrant, dynamic and innovative tech scale-up based in Brixton.

We’re on a mission to modernise the way businesses think about exhibiting at events and their approach to lead capture, where archaic, manual and broken methods are still the norm.

We’re at the forefront of a new, emerging software category, Event Lead Capture, starting a movement to ensure businesses all over the world are meaningfully connecting their events, sales and marketing to ensure maximum ROI.

We’re now 5 years into our journey, an have recently secured a major round of funding and are growing globally. When better to get involved with a company?

About the role

This is a full-time position, based at our head office in London.

Our ideal teammate will be familiar with working with customers in adopting and troubleshooting B2B software, have an empathetic attitude to customer success and is someone who believes in our vision for better events.

You’ll be part of our larger, UK-based Customer Experience & Support team, who supports customers globally through delivering world-class customer service, crafting documentation, troubleshooting bugs, customer training, and go above and beyond to ensure that all customers have a great experience.

What you can expect to fill your days with:

  • Regularly interact with other departments including Product, Marketing and Customer Success.

  • Update the pipeline of user suggestions and feedback to improve Akkroo.

  • Own projects related to improving our support, processes, and self-service.

  • You’ll become an Akkroo product expert, which will involve accurately identifying, analyzing, and resolving technical and non-technical issues, by promptly dealing with tickets in a timely, human manner and answering questions via a number of channels (phone, email, and live chat).

Who we're looking for

You’re self-sufficient and love the challenge of solving problems and learning new things, but also thrive in an environment where you can do great work independently.

You’re patient and good humored. You’re an excellent listener and educator, and you’re always in search of new opportunities to contribute.

You’re passionate about support. You’re able to empathize with customers in a genuine way that lets them know you care about their issues.

You’re an excellent communicator, fluent in written English with a style focused on building human relationships with customers. You’re just as comfortable on the phone as you are in an email or Live Chat.

You’re curious and have a natural ability to “zoom out” of a problem, in order to ask the right questions. An empathetic problem solver who goes out of their way to help people succeed.

You’re proactive when it comes to challenges. When you don’t know something, you embrace the chance to grow and get better.

PERKS

Equity

We’re still small, and all our new team members are given the chance to own their own slice of the company through our share options scheme.

Awesome workspace

Work from our fantastic office in Brixton, London. We have a bright, open plan office with a small kitchen area - plus use of a larger shared kitchen in the building.

 

Holiday flexibility

You choose how much holiday you want to take (with a minimum of 24 days a year). If you need to take some more, you can.

 

Competitive pay

We pay well to make sure you’re not worrying about making a living while working at Akkroo. We also are committed to ratcheting salaries as we grow.

 

Socials & monthly lunches

We do quarterly socials together, as well as a monthly team lunch we all get together and go out for something to eat (and it costs you nothing).

Free fruit, coffee & breakfast

We keep a barista-style coffee machine in the office, provide as much tea as you can muster, and keep the kitchen well-stocked with free cereal, toast, milk and fruit.

Great work tools

We supply our team with the best hardware so they can focus on the tasks at hand. You’ll get your own Macbook Pro, plus any extras you’ll need to make your work life easier, such as extra screens, external keyboards, magic mouse… maybe even your own notebook and pen.

Lifestyle perks

Everyone is given a Perkbox membership, which gives high street discounts on health and fitness, shopping, restaurants, travel, cinema, and other great out-of-office activities.

 

Learning budget

We provide all team members with a quarterly book-buying budget, as well as plenty of opportunities to attend relevant conferences, meet-ups and events that will help you continually get better at what you do.

How to apply...

Full managed

 

We take care of the entire process for you so we can manage and remove poor experiences like ghosting, no feedback, no updates and so on  🙌

 

All you have to do is let your Relationship Manager know you’re interested, ask them any questions you have and they will take care of the rest.

Straight to the front

From there, what’s next is super simple  😇

If you like the initial sound of the company/ role. We then act as your “in” with them and set up an initial phone chat with you and the Hiring Manager there. 

 

The chat will be pretty informal and should only last 10-15 minutes - It's a fact find for both of you. 

 

More than prepared 

 

Before the call we will send you EVERYTHING you'll need to know about the company / who they are looking for / format of the call and so on. 

 

You will be fully prepared and know what to expect at every stage 😀
