What the job involves
- 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
- We exist to inject new energy and new thinking into a precedent-bound profession. We love the company we’re building with undignified enthusiasm. We’re committed to our mission and to our people
- We celebrate our successes, learn from our failures, and find opportunity in adversity. We surround ourselves with inspiring, talented people who have a contagious energy and incurable passion for what they do. We pride ourselves on listening and relating to our colleagues and clients in a way that’s genuine, human, and memorable. We care about the little things
- Our People:
- Generate new, creative, and disruptive ideas to change the status quo in their fields
- Possess an unbelievable work ethic and unwavering commitment to quality
- Stretch beyond what’s expected and prioritize ongoing learning and development
- Assume best intentions and take a ‘glass half full’ approach to their work
- Bring others together, creating strong relationships across lines of difference
- Seek to understand and learn from perspectives counter to their own
- Leave a lasting impression
- We are looking to hire a consultative Account Executive 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 industry leading clients focusing on account growth as well as new business generation
- Specifically, you will spend your days:
- Originating opportunity and closing deals: You will be responsible for bringing in new business, originating and selling to our biggest fans, and making believers of fresh clients
- Getting to know your clients: You will define the client experience by building durable relationships, inspiring trust, and proposing innovative solutions to their problems
- 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
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Axiom provides high-caliber legal talent, counting more than 3,500 legal departments across the globe. The company launched in 2000 and serves more than 75% of the Fortune 100 today. It offers a wide range of solutions to meet legal needs, from on-demand attorneys to supplement companies' legal departments, to senior paralegals to review legal forms and business contracts.
Traditionally, law firms were the dominant providers in the legal industry and their hierarchical partnership structure was a major obstacle for anyone trying to overcome that prevailing model. Axiom's founder saw an opportunity to reconfigure legal delivery and set out to construct a law company to respond to the growing misalignment between firm lawyers and equity partners as well as firms and clients. Axiom has recruited lawyers from top firms while cutting most traditional extra costs, enabling it to offer high-quality services at a much lower price than the wider legal industry.
Axiom received its first funding round in 2000, raising $5.4M, three subsequent funding rounds have followed. These investments fuelled expansion over time and allowed the company to invest in technology, a talented workforce, and a strong senior management bench. Going forward, Axiom will keep expanding its legal professional talent offering and it will likely maintain its focus on tech, as exemplified by its acquisition of legal tech firm Plexus Engage in 2022.
