About AkoAko is an AI teammate that lives in Slack, WhatsApp, and email completing real work end-to-end. Ako is helping teams by embedding itself into an organisation and helping with tasks like sales, marketing or operations. We have customers across manufacturing, construction and ecommerce. We’re a small team, moving fast where everyone operates with high ownership.
The RoleWe're hiring one person to help with two things that are deeply connected: getting new customers in the door, and making sure they actually succeed once they're in. You'll run outbound experiments to generate pipeline, and then sit hands-on with customers to implement Ako into their workflows. You will work closely with the founder but are expected to move independently and fast.
This is not a role for someone who wants a clear playbook.
What you'll do- Design and run outbound experiments (channels, messaging, targeting) to generate qualified conversations with CEOs/MDs at target companies
- Own the full funnel from first outreach to signed customer
- Scope problems with customers and help implement Ako for them
- Monitor customer accounts and help them grow into other use cases
- Report what's working and what isn't, and kill experiments fast when they don't
What we're looking for- Fast and scrappy over polished or experienced. You have a bias for action
- Genuinely AI-native: you’re excited about solving problems using AI tools. We’ll give you access to any tool that helps.
- Loves talking to customers: energised by calls and conversations, not drained by them
- Comfortable with ambiguity and no fixed process
- Startup experience is a plus, not a requirement
- Any educational background or degree is fine. We care about output, not credentials.
Hiring processWe do a paid work trial as part of our process. You'll work on real Ako problems for a short period before any final decision, and you'll be paid for that time.
Why this roleYou'll effectively be helping build the GTM motion for an early-stage AI startup from scratch, with direct access to the founder and real ownership over outcomes.
