Director of Strategic Consulting

Our Story

Able was born as a product development and engineering hub for a family office of early stage companies. We worked across a portfolio of investment companies to accelerate products to market.

As we grew, we began to work with partners (we call our clients ‘partners’) outside the family office. Our partner portfolio became broader and more diverse, working with larger, more established companies across industries. We built and shipped dozens of products, from zero to ones, to new product introductions for established companies.

As we established ourselves as a product development firm, we worked tirelessly to ensure that our development practices – from product inception through deployment – were the fastest, highest quality, and most progressive.

In the past several years, AI has introduced a whole new layer of opportunity for how to best build products. Through this period, we have invested heavily to identify how best to implement AI into the SDLC to power our teams.

The market has responded to this set of services and we have now emerged as a broader capability: AI-powered software development coupled with AI implementation consulting. We continue to build and deliver software, powered by AI, and we ladder that with strategic AI consulting services.

Our growth hypothesis is built around a simple truth: the power of AI technology is growing faster than companies can adopt it. We help companies implement new technologies and practices into their organizations, to drive growth, deliver efficiency, and create competitive advantage.

About the Role

This is a new role for Able, backfilling a slightly different executive role that was more Product Management oriented. The catalyst for the reorientation of this role is that our partner relationships are becoming more strategically complex, in two primary ways:

  1. Implementing AI into our partner companies is inherently a bespoke exercise. We operate with established frameworks, tools, and methodologies, but identifying the opportunities for deploying these – and navigating partner executive buying behaviors – requires a specific skillset.
  2. Our on-going software development partnerships are becoming increasingly complex, as the systems we are building become more sophisticated in terms of data, architecture, and stakeholder management.

What we’re looking for

The ideal candidate will have built a career in consulting and professional services team and client development. They will have a track record of building teams to deliver business critical solutions to clients. They will be comfortable working with client executives on strategic business challenges.

  • Fluency with software development lifecycle; Experience in a leadership commercial role, shepherding teams building and deploying software
  • Experience building and leading teams implementing AI into companies to drive performance and competitive advantage. Experience navigating client environments to identify opportunities for AI implementation, and an ability to shape solutions that drive forecastable value.
  • Experience nurturing client relationships to add new service lines and increase the value created. Proven track record of growing portfolios above $10M in annual revenue.
  • Commercial acumen to shape deals to deliver mutual benefit to the client and professional services employer.
  • Experience nurturing a group of consultants to develop their craft, while they serve the needs of the business.
  • Experience being a part of a leadership team in a fast-growing and adaptive environment.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
