Fractional Head of Product

Highlights:
how to convert intuition into strategy
building actionable roadmaps
implementing the right product ops methodology
talent assessment of current team
hiring and managing PMs + designers

First Product Manager
Company Stage: Pre-Seed or Seed

We embed directly with your engineers to build the product that will help you win - while you focus on everything else your business demands.
Highlights:
customer interviews and research
translating founder vision into clear requirements
hands on work with design and engineering resources
seasoned decision making to ensure product goals are hit
disciplined project management
access to contract experts as required
