Able is a product strategy and development studio. Able's vision is to build digital products that create a more inclusive and prosperous future for our people and partners (what we call clients). Our teams consist of exceptional Software Engineers, Program Managers, Product Managers and Designers, and all-around company builders.

Able is seeking a full-time permanent Director of Business Development to join our remote team. This role will oversee all aspects of new business development, from Go to Market strategy and programming, to lead generation, to lead nurturing and closing deals. The role is part of our Executive Leadership Team (ELT), and reports directly to the CEO.

Our Story

Over the past several years, Able has grown immeasurably. We’ve also grown in the type of company that we are:

Chapter 1: We were founded in 2013 as a product and engineering hub for a portfolio of early-stage start-ups. We grew up as an in-house/external hybrid shared services model. That allowed us to hone our skills and establish our operational and cultural foundation.

Chapter 2. In 2019 we began to expand our vision. We began to grow outside of our inset partner base. We had good initial success meeting new partners, kicking off new relationships, and delivering high-value work.

Chapter 3. In 2023, we moved into the next phase of a new chapter, an expansion of the ambition of Chapter 2. Our strategy for growth centers around two audiences:

Venture Capital. VC firms are looking for trusted product and technology solutions to distribute seamlessly across their portfolios at scale. The founders at their portfolio companies are looking for capabilities that can accelerate their businesses' go-to-market time, while minimizing cost and risk.
Private Equity. PE firms are looking for trusted solutions that can catalyze growth for their portfolio companies at scale. The leaders of those companies are looking to leverage technology to unlock growth from their organizations.

Chapter 3a. We are now in the next phase of Chapter 3, aligned to our mission and vision, and accelerated by the powers of applied AI. We believe that AI will be a powerful force in the end-to-end software development lifecycle. Specifically we are creating practices that – coupled with our world class talent – can deliver software significantly faster than legacy techniques. The result is increased value for our partners, who can dramatically increase the capacity of their product organizations.

We are looking for a leader who can help us crystallize our new offering, to generate new leads, and help us close new deals.

Profile & Skillset

Go to Market strategy

We need to continue to expand our presence in PE and Midmarket sectors. This work consists of strategic positioning, channel planning, and content/IP. There is a Community Development Manager in place to share strategic duties and drive execution.

Lead Generation

Connected to our GTM work, we need to generate a consistent pipeline of quality leads. Historically we have leveraged a combination of referrals, events, partnerships/sponsorships, and demand gen/outreach to drive these leads. We need to continue to invest, measure, learn and improve efficiency and scale.

A Broad Network in PE and Midmarket Space

The ideal candidate will have experience navigating private equity environments, understands the mechanics and incentives of their businesses, and brings in a scale network of contacts for us to consider.

Deal Shaping

Often our prospects don’t know how to buy from us, each of our deals is bespoke. We need a leader who can help shape deals – team construction, scope definition, duration, financials – that align Able’s success with our partners’ success.

Closing Deals

We need a leader who is skilled at pushing deals over the line, maximizing revenue and profit for Able, with value and good faith for our partners.

Your Responsibilities

1) Lead our Go to Market programming

Drive our strategy and oversee execution to ensure that we are managing the funnel of deal-ready prospects.

2) Build and manage pipeline

Use our Go to Market resources to build pipeline and nurture leads through mutually advantageous deal definition and shape.

3) Close deals to set us up for success

Close deals that align our success with our partners’ success, for sustainable and equitable partnerships.

4) Manifest the best of Able out to our market

Able has amazing talent, dynamic personalities, powerful stories to tell, and generally a high value offering. Understand the richness of what we offer and frame it to our market.

What we’re looking for

Experience working with PE firms and their portfolio companies; Midmarket is bullseye, Healthtech vertical is a bonus
Demonstrated experience building pipeline, nurturing leads, and closing deals
Experience working in a small company – we are scrappy and hungry, no job is too big (or too small) for any of us
Leadership voice, to communicate to our partners, and to our staff
Innate ability to inspire partners to think differently about their approach to software development
Dynamic and ambitious approach to company building, for Able and for our partners’ organizations

Outcomes that define success

Consistently robust pipeline of leads
Consistent closing of new business deals
Dynamic community generated in PE and midmarket
Clear and consistent approach to goal setting, strategic development, test and learn in our GTM investments

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.
