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 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?

• Managing the product backlog and working within our agile development workflow

• Identifying and removing roadblocks to help us realise product milestones, and setting timeframes for delivery

• Co-ordinating and communicating with key stakeholders

• Owning, updating and shape the current list of problems that face our customers

• Contributing to the vision of the product, and helping us deliver the company wide product strategy

​

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

​

If you’re the right individual, you are a generalist who loves to roll up your sleeves and really cares about the details. We need someone who is proactive, and is disciplined with their time. You also need to have very good technical nouse; having a working understanding of code would be a very beneficial attribute.

​

We’re looking for a friendly, smart, creative individual who loves the idea of making an impact on the lives of hundreds of thousands of people by ensuring we deliver great product experiences.

• Fantastic written and verbal skills

• Results-orientated and good with self-direction

• A lot of job specs say ‘detail oriented’, but we really mean it — really detail oriented!

• Passionate about solving customer problems and turning ideas into actions

• Previous experience in a similar role within a B2B SaaS environment

​

Superstar Skills (non essential, but a bonus if you have them!)

​

• Technical skills (coding as a hobby, side project or otherwise)

• Design skills

​

What’s on offer:

 

We are committed to ratcheting salaries as we grow, so you’ll be rewarded for being an amazing employee and contributing to our growth!
