Who at OpFocus will I work with?
Perhaps you’ve recently taken that next round of funding to support significant growth. Or maybe your team is growing and needs additional bandwidth or expertise to maintain momentum. You might even be new to a RevOps role and have a mandate to quickly expand the capacity of your operation. The pressure to grow is crushing, and your crumbling tech stack isn’t supporting your objectives.
Now, you’re thinking about partnering with OpFocus, or you’re about to begin a project with us for the first time. You probably want to know who at OpFocus will work on your project. One of the biggest concerns you have is whether your project team will be qualified to meet your needs. Unfortunately, prior experience with other consultants has made you fearful that projects are under or improperly staffed.
In this article, I’ll explain the factors impacting who will work on your project, introduce you to the teams that you may partner with, cover some projects that our practices have worked on, and answer some additional questions you likely have.
what factors impact who will work on my project?
When we decide on your project team, we consider a few factors: the type of project we’re assisting with, the types of platforms you have in your tech stack, and who on the OpFocus team is available at the time. Based on these factors, my team identifies the best resources to drive your project forward. We’ll provide you with consultants, developers, and architects that have specific experience in the aspects your project focuses on.

are these the right people for my project?
After scoping your project, my team will know which resources you need to be successful. We provide resources based on the complexity of your project and the platforms involved. You receive consultants with the expertise and experience in the specific platforms and project types you use. As your project progresses, we may pull in new resources to offer expertise in specific areas.
can I request a specific resource?
My team will always provide you with the right consultants to drive your projects forward. For instance, if you request a member of my team but you use a platform that another member of OpFocus is an expert on, we’ll advise you and provide a more appropriate consultant. Scheduling will also be a factor. Most of my teams’ projects are longer-term managed services engagements (we call them Growth Services), so certain consultants may already have committed their time to other clients. Rest assured, we will always offer experts to join your project team that’s well-equipped to meet your needs!
what if there are missing skillsets my project needs?
One of the biggest benefits of working with OpFocus is flexibility. If unexpected roadblocks arise or a project expands beyond the initial scope, my team has the bench to meet those needs. We’ll provide additional consultants with the expertise needed to advance your project. These team members may change as your project progresses and as you look for help with different platforms. This flexibility to bring in new resources ensures your project will rarely stall.
can I interview the people I’ll be working with beforehand?
It makes sense that you may want to know who you’ll work with and speak with them ahead of time. OpFocus does not typically offer interviews with my teams’ consultants before a project. We have, on occasion, made exceptions. If you have an extensive project that will span for many months or many years, we can arrange meetings with similar types of team members during your sales cycle. For this type of commitment, we understand you need full confidence that you’re working with the right people.
how do I find out who specifically I’ll work with?
Finally, the big question: who will you be working with? As I’m sure you’re aware, considering all these factors it would be impossible to answer that question in a blog like this. But with a strong understanding of your project requirements, you’re now able to get a pretty good idea of who at OpFocus you’ll work with. To find out for sure, connect with your account manager, or, if we haven’t connected yet, let’s talk! We welcome you to meet the entire OpFocus team.
