Join the network
You already know how to run product. What most senior operators do not want is to build a whole business around it — the positioning, the pipeline, the sales. Do the embedded work you are great at. Let the practice handle the rest.
What we look for
This is a small network of operators, not a marketplace of resumes. A few things are non-negotiable because clients feel them in the first week.
A real track record
5+ years leading product, with things you actually shipped, teams you actually ran, and outcomes you can speak to. Senior judgment is the whole product here.
Genuine availability
10 to 20 focused hours a week per client, held consistently. Fractional works because the cadence is real — not because you check in when it is convenient.
Range across stages
Comfortable moving between startups and scaleups and adapting to different markets and business models — especially SaaS, fintech, payments, and platform companies.
Operator, not advisor
You embed, decide, and drive the work alongside the team. If your instinct is to send recommendations from the outside, this is not the right fit.
What the network gives you
You bring the experience and the hours. The practice brings everything that usually eats an independent operator's week.
Real engagements
Qualified conversations with companies that already understand the fractional model and are ready to bring an operator in — so you spend your time on the product, not on prospecting.
A proven playbook
A defined engagement structure, the 10-hour weekly model, and clear standards for how the work runs. You step into a system that already works instead of inventing one client by client.
Ownership with backing
You run your engagements your way, with the credibility of the practice and a bench of senior peers behind you when you want a second read on a hard call.
From intro to engagement
A short, honest path. We are optimizing for long-term fit, so the process is more conversation than application.
Intro call
We talk through your background, the work you want to be doing, and how you like to operate inside a team.
Fit and calibration
We align on the kinds of companies and problems you are strongest with, and on how the engagement model works in practice.
Matched to work
When there is a genuine fit with a client's stage and needs, we make the introduction and set the engagement up cleanly.
You run it
You embed and drive the outcomes, backed by the practice's model, standards, and peers.
A few honest answers
Is this a job or independent work?
Independent, embedded engagements. You operate as a senior fractional product leader inside client teams, with the practice providing the model, the standards, and the client conversations. It is built for experienced operators who want the work without building the whole business alone.
How much time does it take?
Engagements run on a 10 to 20 hour weekly model per client. The exact commitment depends on the engagement, but consistency matters more than volume — clients rely on a dependable weekly cadence.
What kinds of companies will I work with?
Primarily SaaS, fintech, payments, and platform companies at the stage where they need senior product leadership but not a full-time executive. Range across markets and business models is exactly what makes an operator valuable here.
