About Us
We’re an innovative tech company delivering cutting-edge technical solutions while also providing on-demand and permanent technical resourcing services to our clients. We are not a recruitment agency – we work as a strategic partner to help businesses achieve their technology goals.
As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a dynamic and results-driven Account Executive to join our team and drive revenue through both solution sales and our resourcing services.
This is a pure sales-focused role ideal for someone who thrives in a target-driven environment and loves creating new opportunities.

Prospecting and lead generation – building a strong pipeline of new business opportunities.
Outbound calling and outreach to engage potential clients confidently.
Meeting with clients (virtually and face-to-face) to present solutions and staffing services.
Delivering engaging presentations and demos that win business.
Selling value, not just price , and building trusted client relationships.
Working to KPIs, targets, and deadlines consistently.
Developing innovative strategies to attract and retain clients.
Collaborating with marketing , bid, and delivery teams to craft winning proposals and pitches.
Representing Akoni at networking events , industry meetups, and partner sessions.
What We’re Looking For
•1–4 years of proven B2B sales experience, ideally within technology, staffing solutions, or professional services.
• A track record of consistently meeting and exceeding sales targets.
• Confident on the phone and in person – not afraid of cold calling or pitching.
• Strong presentation and communication skills for pitching solutions and resourcing services.
• Creative and proactive mindset for generating new business opportunities.
• Ability to manage multiple sales streams (technical solutions and staffing services).
• Resilient, self-motivated, and target-driven.

- Competitive base salary + uncapped commission structure.
- 24 days of holiday plus 1 additional day for your birthday (excluding bank holidays)
- Vitality Rewards, including private health insurance and discounts at high street/online retailers after probation.
