📋 Description

• Lead discovery. Run structured sessions with client stakeholders to understand their business, identify the underlying problem, and define what a successful solution should accomplish. • Own the Blueprint. Lead our signature Blueprint Workshops and deliver a clear product roadmap, technical approach, scope, timeline, and budget. For many clients, this is the first step toward a larger build. • Shape the solution. Translate business goals into product requirements and phased delivery plans. Work with engineering to define the technical approach, evaluate build-versus-buy, custom-versus-off-the-shelf, and AI-versus-traditional options, and clearly explain the recommendation to the client. • Support the sales process. Help qualify opportunities, build the business case, shape pitches, present solutions, respond to client questions, and close new work. Maintain accurate opportunity details and forecasts in our CRM. • Scope and price the work. Collaborate with team members to develop realistic estimates that account for complexity, risk, and uncertainty while balancing the client’s goals with the economics of the project. • Stay accountable through handoff. Help transition sold work into delivery, making sure the team understands the proposed solution, key assumptions, and client commitments. Identify opportunities for additional work when they arise. • Improve how we sell. Help strengthen our discovery frameworks, proposal materials, estimation practices, and overall sales process so the entire firm benefits from what you learn.
