Productable is a software and services company helping organizations make better investment decisions using a portfolio approach that directs resources to the highest-impact initiatives. Our configurable software platform embeds a decision methodology to operationalize portfolio discipline. We’re in the early stages with a lean team and currently serve the DOW.
This role sits at the intersection of sales, solution architecture, and delivery. You engage once an opportunity is qualified and lead the work from discovery through configured deployment to measurable outcomes.
Sales at Productable is integrated with delivery: winning the work requires leading discovery—identifying core needs, conducting stakeholder interviews, structuring data and configuring the software environment to the client’s context.
You are accountable for converting opportunity into reality: shaping solutions, operationalizing our methodology in the client environment, running decision cadences, and delivering substantive outcomes.
Work is delivered through a combination of customer facing engagements, blending discovery, facilitation, and delivery (which frames problems and structures engagements) and software configuration (which operationalizes methodology and enables sustained decision discipline).
