About the role

  • Companies like Ford, Komatsu, and Johnson Controls use CoLab to catch issues earlier, eliminate rework cycles, and bring products to market faster.
  • John's, Newfoundland, CoLab has grown quickly from our first customer in 2019 to a rapidly scaling company.
  • We've recently been recognized on Deloitte's Fast 50™ and Fast 500™, and named a Canadian company to watch by The Globe and Mail and Financial Post.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with account teams on discovery to connect customer pain to measurable engineering and manufacturing outcomes: ECO and rework cost, review cycle time, cost of poor quality, vendor coordination, schedule, and reclaimed engineering capacity.
  • Build ROI models and business cases rooted in the top line / bottom line / strategic framing, so a case can mature from a champion's belief to finance-grade defensible data without being rebuilt.
  • Read the conviction of a deal and match the build to it: strategic belief, validated magnitude, or deep defensible data. Know when to scrub every number and when scrubbing would kill momentum.
  • Support pilots, POCs, and onboarding by tracking early indicators and converting realized results into proof that feeds renewals and expansion.
  • Own the value content for QBRs: the talk track, the slides, the realized-value story that CS inherits.
  • Partner with enablement and product marketing to sharpen value messaging and translate winning patterns into tools that scale.
  • Support RFP responses tied to value, ROI, and financial justification.
  • Every design review in CoLab builds a knowledge repository of design feedback, decisions, and lessons learned - which AI agents draw from to flag issues on future designs before they compound.
  • The more your team works in CoLab, the smarter it gets and the faster you arrive at the ideal design.
  • Someone who can dig into incomplete data, build a clean model under pressure, and present a financial "why" that closes the gap between interest and signature.

Requirements

  • You know which work compounds, which is throwaway, and which conversation is worth a calendar hold versus a quick Slack.
  • You have built the ROI models and business cases that meaningfully influenced multiple seven figure deals.

Nice to have

  • Work with product and data teams to keep measurement methodology and value rationale accurate and defensible, and feed account signals back into the roadmap.
  • Background in management consulting, finance, or a quantitative analyst role, ideally with exposure to mechanical engineering, manufacturing, or product development.
  • You are comfortable in messy or incomplete data and confident presenting clear insight even when the comparison is not perfect.
  • Strong financial and commercial acumen.
  • You translate technical capability into business outcomes that resonate with VPs of Engineering, CEOs, and CFOs, and you can defend the math line by line.
  • Skilled storyteller.
  • You turn a model into a narrative a room of executives feels, not just a spreadsheet they nod at.
  • You know a strong deck is a forcing function, not a deliverable.

Company info

  • Create and maintain value frameworks leveraging bleeding edge enablement and support for the revenue team so we are not rebuilding the wheel every cycle.
  • At CoLab, we help mechanical engineering teams bring life-changing products to market years sooner.
  • CoLab is the AI platform for driving stronger engineering decisions.
  • You will sit at the intersection of customers and the revenue team, translating workflow friction and engineering rework into dollars a CFO will defend.
