About Axiom:

Axiom is where legal teams go to find the right talent for everything from routine in-house tasks to complex outside counsel work. Too many legal departments are stuck having to choose between paying the high fees of their law firm, hiring full-time employees they don’t need, or turning to a low-cost agency that can’t meet their quality standards. At the same time, top lawyers want to work on challenging legal matters, but they want more control over how, when, and where they practice. Both are forced compromises that no one should have to make. Axiom shares and meets the higher standards of its clients and lawyers, with our “work smarter, adapt faster, go further” approach – connecting growing mid-market and Fortune 500 companies with the world’s deepest bench of experienced, specialized legal talent.

About Axiom Australia:

Axiom acquired Plexus Engage, a subsidiary of Australian-headquartered legal technology company Plexus, in November 2022. The acquisition further advanced Axiom’s long-term M&A and geographic expansion plans, providing an entry into Australia and enhancing Axiom’s footprint in the APAC region. Now, Axiom is seeking an entrepreneurial client-facing sales leader who understands the intricacies of running, growing, and scaling a high-growth, profitable region.

About the role:

We are looking to hire a consultative Enterprise Account Executive (Manager level) to fuel our continued growth. With our backing and proven success, we’re looking for evangelists – salespeople who can envision a better future for clients, bring clients to see that vision, and create lasting partnerships that exceed clients’ greatest expectations. This role is well-suited for a highly consultative seller who’s accustomed to sitting at the table with executive-level decision makers to devise solutions to their toughest problems. You will be afforded a high degree of accountability and ownership over a portfolio of F500 and ASX 200 clients focusing on account growth as well as new business generation.

Consulting with C-level executives: Our clients are savvy leaders of the world’s largest in-house legal teams, and you will be at the table with them daily planning for their future.
Collaborating: At Axiom we pride ourselves on our cross-functional sales culture. This is a not a role for the lone wolf seller. You will partner daily with the broader commercial team to close and support strategic opportunities.
Leading: You will offer thought leadership to clients as well as internally mentor and offer professional insights to junior team members.

You are a high-impact communicator and know how to present to executive-level stakeholders.

You demonstrate a relentless service orientation, effortlessly form trusted-advisor relationships, are catalytic in your desire to improve the status quo, and can operate effectively within a highly collaborative team environment.
