Job Description

About the Role

We’re building a new solution at ACKO to help D2C brands and small businesses unlock greater consumer trust and deliver a superior post-purchase experience. We’re looking for a Sales Associate to help us bring this vision to life by driving merchant acquisition and onboarding.
This is a high-ownership role where you’ll build strong relationships with merchants, manage the full sales funnel, and help define the playbook as we scale.

What You’ll Do

  • Identify and qualify potential clients through inbound interest, proactive research, and participation in relevant forums or events
  • Drive outreach via email, phone, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp to build a strong and organized top-of-funnel pipeline
  • Own the entire sales lifecycle — from the first contact to closure — conducting product walkthroughs and enabling a consultative decision-making process
  • Lead merchant onboarding, from documentation and integration setup to go-live coordination, working closely with product and operations teams
  • Build lasting relationships with client stakeholders including founders, marketers, and operators
  • Drive engagement beyond onboarding — encourage testimonials, participate in showcases, and foster a sense of community
  • Share learnings and feedback with internal teams to fine-tune sales messaging, GTM motion, and product roadmap
  • Contribute to building structured sales assets like pitch decks, email templates, and objection-handling guides

What We’re Looking For

  • Internship experience in B2B sales, partnerships, or merchant acquisition — ideally in D2C, SaaS, fintech, e-commerce, or platform-based businesses
  • Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to connect with founders and decision-makers
  • Proficiency in using outreach tools and a basic understanding of integration workflows
  • Strong ownership mindset and a bias for action — you move fast, follow up, and close loops
  • Comfort working in a dynamic, early-stage setup where playbooks are being written
  • A passion for building relationships and shaping how early-stage products go to market

Why This Role?

  • Join a high-potential new initiative backed by ACKO’s trusted brand
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams across product, ops, and GTM
  • Be part of the 0→1 journey — helping shape the product, process, and customer experience
  • Grow into account management, partnerships, or strategic sales roles as we scale
If you’re excited by ownership, enjoy building from scratch, and love speaking with founders and business owners — we’d love to talk.
