Manager, Sales

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.
