About Us
Innovapptive is a category-defining SaaS company building the world’s most advanced AI-powered Connected Worker Platform for the industrial sector. Headquartered in Houston, TX, and backed by Vista Equity Partners, Innovapptive is on a mission to reimagine how industrial work gets done — connecting frontline workers, back-office systems, and assets in real time to drive higher safety, reliability, and productivity.
Our platform is trusted by some of the world’s largest enterprises — including Shell, Hess, Cenovus Energy, W.R.Grace, Westlake Chemicals, UNICEF, Kimberly Clark, Scott Miracle Gro, and Newmont Mining to name a few, and across chemicals, energy, mining, and manufacturing industries. These enterprises have achieved tangible, hard-dollar results, such as:
- Over $40 million in annual EBITDA savings at a single enterprise.
- 10× frontline productivity improvements through mobile-first and AI-enabled workflows.
- 15–20% maintenance cost reductions and significant uptime gains across plants and sites.
Innovapptive is recognized by leading industry analysts for its differentiated value creation model:
- Named a Leader in the Frost & Sullivan Industrial Connected Worker Radar.
- Featured by Gartner in “Connected Factory Worker” research and the Hype Cycle for Manufacturing Operations Strategy.
- Cited by LNS Research for delivering 3–5× greater value than point solutions through unified OT–IT execution, AI/vision innovation, and field-proven ROI.
Our growth is backed by Tiger Global Management and Vista Equity Partners, one of the world’s premier software investors, known for scaling high-performance SaaS companies. Together, we are building the next-generation AI Powered Connected Worker Platform, combining cutting-edge technologies — SLM’s, Generative AI, Computer Vision, and Intelligent Orchestration — into a unified system that transforms plant operations globally.
Today, with over 300+ employees across the U.S., India, and ANZ, Innovapptive stands at a pivotal inflection point: with an ambition to scale to $100M ARR within the next 3-4 years by industrializing every aspect of our product, engineering, and customer delivery systems.

The Director – Product Management (Operations) will own and scale Innovapptive’s Operations product suite, driving innovation, frontline productivity, operational excellence, and measurable business outcomes for enterprise customers in asset-intensive and manufacturing industries.

- Define and track product success metrics, leveraging data and analytics to drive decisions on feature enhancements, prioritization, and long-term product investments.
- Drive product initiatives focused on production efficiency, OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), operational excellence, continuous improvement, and frontline productivity.
- Partner with GTM teams on positioning, pricing, packaging, demos, proposals, and enablement for enterprise customers across manufacturing and industrial operations.
- Mentor and lead Product Managers, fostering a culture of ownership, experimentation, customer focus, and cross-functional collaboration.
