Fractional Product Lead

Someone owns product, with your team.

The CEO or the CTO is doing product on the side, and it is eating the week. I join your team 1 to 2 days a week and I own product: the direction, the priorities and the results. Month to month.

Commitment

1 to 2 days a week

Duration

Month to month

Format

Remote, integrated with your team

Best for

B2B SaaS at growth stage

When it makes sense

  • The CEO or the CTO is doing product on the side
  • Product decisions need ongoing ownership
  • Your engineers are waiting for decisions

What you get

  • One person accountable for product
  • A roadmap where every item has one success metric
  • Customer evidence behind every priority
  • You stay in the decisions that matter. You stop being the bottleneck.
  • What we track: one success metric per roadmap item, share of work tied to a customer problem, roadmap commitments delivered, time from idea to shipped.

How it works

  1. A 30 minute call, free.
  2. The first weeks work like a Diagnostic: I listen, I dig, and I tell you what I would do first.
  3. Then a weekly rhythm with you and your engineers: set the direction, prioritize what to build and what not to, align product, engineering and go-to-market, track progress and iterate.

Not for you if

  • You don't have customers yet.
  • You manage several product teams with complex dependencies. Then it may be time for a full-time product leader.
  • You need someone on daily delivery full-time. Then a dedicated Product Manager is a better fit.

Questions founders ask

Are you remote?

Yes. I work from Montreal, in English, French and Spanish.

How do we stop?

It is month to month. You can stop at the end of any month.

Do we need a full-time product leader instead?

Maybe later. When that moment comes I will tell you, and I can help you define the role.
