About Akkroo

​

Here at Akkroo, we’re on a mission to help businesses think differently about exhibiting and the way they capture and process leads at B2B trade shows and events.

​

We’re at the forefront of event lead capture, replacing outdated, manual methods: business cards, paper forms and rented scanners. Akkroo is changing the game.

​

Working at the intersection of events and MarTech, Akkroo is the bridge between the physical and the digital, empowering exhibitors to take control of the process at every event, big or small.

​

In line with our fast growth and recent Series A funding, we’re now hiring for Account Executives to join our new business sales team and help us continue to scale.

​

​

​

• Maintain up-to-date information in our CRM (HubSpot)

​

The ideal SDR candidate will become an expert in generating, prospecting and qualifying leads, some of the most important components of the sales process.

​

This role is an excellent opportunity to prove yourself in a fast-paced sales environment in a growing SaaS company with an enormous opportunity for career growth.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join the new business team as we embark on the next stage in our scale-up journey. There is a massive opportunity ahead of us as the category continues to emerge with a vast, global total addressable market to go after.

 

You’ll be surrounded by strong colleagues including a well backed marketing function, a team of hungry Sales Development Representatives generating leads, and a maturing Customer Success and Product function.

​

​

A lot of places boast a great culture, but what’s going on here is really second to none (check out our Instagram for a sneak peak). You would join a vibrant, supporting and friendly team, who are laser focused on seeing results and making a real impact for our customers.

​

Our hiring process

​

We post all our job opportunities on this page. Sign up for emails if you’d prefer to be notified by email when new roles become available.

​

We will generally arrange a first stage chat (face to face, over video or phone), followed by an in-person meeting. We will ask you to take part in some form of job-specific task before any final meeting and a hiring decision is made.

​

Please make sure you read the job spec carefully to check for any key requirements. When you apply, you’ll be asked to share your motivations and reasons for applying as well as any prior experience.

​

Skills, ability & impact

​

We’re a small team and we often take an ‘all-hands-on-deck’ approach to business decisions, so we love considerate team players with lots of initiative.

​

Working in a scale-up presents a huge variety of challenges and exciting opportunities not available in a ‘normal job’. If you’re a positive, motivated, solution-oriented person and care about everything you do, let’s talk :)

​

 

Our culture & values

​

We have five core values here at Akkroo. These were chosen by our whole team, and get reviewed regularly (last updated April 2018) to make sure they still reflect the spirit of Akkroo.

​

Judgement

We’re empowered to use our judgement and make well-thought-out decisions.

 

Grow

We are on an exciting journey of growth, and want people who want to grow with us.

 

Innovate

We’re doing things differently here at Akkroo, and innovation is at the core of everything we do.

 

Impact

As a small, growing scale-up, we all have the opportunity to make a positive impact with the work we do.

 

Trust

Trust is at the heart of everything we do.
