Join the Akiri Team

Do you enjoy consulting, but would rather focus on delivering quality results than billable hours?

Are you someone who can explain technology to others and loves seeing their eyes light up when they understand it for the first time?

Were you meant to be a Business Analyst, with just enough tenacity to navigate through workarounds, legacy processes, and perceived needs to get to the real requirements?

Have you been promised work-life balance as a perk, but find yourself working crazy hours to meet a forecast that doesn’t even make sense to you?

Can you use your creativity, quick thinking, and experience to facilitate your way to results and consensus?

If you answered yes to these questions, we want you on the Akiri team! Please contact us at [email protected].
