Big companies have a strategy office, a brand team, a recruiting function, a finance department and a proposal shop. Owner-operators have themselves. ProxAi is the bench they never had — senior consultants who write the plan, price it, build it and sign it.
Strategy has always been expensive because it is made of senior people's time — and at a big firm most of that time goes to selling, slides and supervising associates. We cut all three. A senior consultant who knows your business owns the plan, a team of practice leads does the research, the models and the builds, and the price is one an owner-operator can say yes to.
You bring the business and the decision. Your consultant frames it and writes the plan; the team builds what it calls for; the consultant reviews every page before it reaches you. What you receive is signed. What you decide is yours.
A number, a comparison, a precedent — written down, next to the recommendation. If we cannot show the reason, we do not make the recommendation.
Every deliverable carries the name of the consultant who wrote it, reviewed it, and will answer for it.
A plan is not finished until the thing it calls for exists — the site, the scorecards, the books, the proposal. We stay until it does.
Fixed fees per plan and deliverable, a retainer for the bench, never a contingent fee. You know the cost before the work starts.
Our consultants come from operating roles — supply chain, program management, finance, sales — not from a slide factory. They have signed contracts, made payroll and sat across the table from a buyer with more leverage.
Operators from aerospace supply chain, program management, finance and sales — people who have signed subcontracts, made payroll and negotiated with primes. One of them owns your plan.
Brand, web, hiring, research, finance, operations, sales and relationship intelligence are each led by someone with an operating background in that function. They build in their lanes under your consultant.
Agreements, financing and anything with a regulator behind it are reviewed with outside counsel and finance partners before they reach a client.
Your consultant and the team behind them are named in the proposal, not on the website.
How great operations actually run — the cadences, the numbers, the decisions, and the tools, including what modern software can take off an owner's desk without taking the judgment with it.
What we learn shows up in our clients' plans, not in our pitch. The service is consulting; the research is how we keep getting better at it.
ProxAi started in aerospace supply chain — pricing, proposals, terms and cash for small suppliers selling to primes.
That is a world where the other side has a procurement department, a should-cost and fifty negotiations a year, and you have one. Everything we bring to brand, hiring, finance and operations was learned there: write the plan down, show the reason, price it before you start, and never confuse a draft with a decision.
The practices grew because clients kept asking the next question — "and who should I hire?", "and what should the site say?", "and how do I set up the books?" — and the bench could answer it.
Operators from brand, product, hiring, finance, sales and supply chain who can write a plan, build what it calls for, and put their name on the result. Remote first; Colorado preferred.
