Who we are:
At Focused, we move quickly to deliver quality software that achieves client outcomes and meets their customer's needs. We strategically partner with our clients to leverage our expertise in design and software, while our clients bring their own domain expertise. We work with a variety of clients from different industries, collaborating as we get new products to market, modernizing legacy systems, or helping teams learn the skills they need to be successful.
Our values:
Listen first • We are experts in product practices but life long learners in the domain of our customers. We research, collaborate, and understand.
Learn why • We ask questions and talk to users to understand problem spaces, objectives, and goals, which allows us to deeply invest and drive towards the outcomes of our clients.
Love your craft • We love diving into a variety of domains and solving problems. We take pride in delivering value, in communicating progress, and guiding our clients to success.
At Focused, we care about building culture as much as building software. This role runs our 10-person Denver office and serves as right hand to our CEO.

As the role grows, you'll take on operations across all Focused offices.
