Senior Manager of Sales Strategy (Remote)

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.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Act as a strategic partner to Sales and Revenue leadership (VP+), influencing planning, investment, and operating decisions
• Independently lead cross-functional alignment across Sales, Finance, Marketing, and Data teams
• Operate effectively in high-stakes, ambiguous environments without requiring senior oversight

• Design scalable processes that improve efficiency and reduce friction in the sales process
• Drive initiatives from problem identification through execution and measurable impact

About you:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience

Core Capabilities
