Senior People leadership without a full-time CPO salary. For founders, CEOs and PE-backed leadership teams at SaaS and tech companies (50–500 employees) that need a Chief People Officer's judgement and systems, but not yet a full-time hire — or need someone to implement a People roadmap fast. ONE DAY PER WEEK, EMBEDDED WITH YOUR LEADERSHIP TEAM. I own: - People roadmap and ExCo partnership — weekly session with CEO​/​ExCo - Compensation bands and job architecture - Performance management and OKR cadence, calibration and succession - Org design for the next growth stage - Board and PE investor people reporting — monthly dashboard, quarterly board pack - Hiring process, onboarding and manager capability - AI-enabled HR workflows (comp benchmarking, policy agents, hiring support) - Coaching and direction for your HR​/​People Ops team INCLUDES: weekly leadership session, monthly people dashboard, quarterly board pack, async access via Slack or Teams between sessions. TERMS: 3-month minimum, then rolling monthly. Scale up to 2 days​/​week during a build phase (comp review, reorg, M&A integration). BEST STARTING POINT: the 3-day People Infrastructure Diagnostic — the 90-day roadmap becomes the first-quarter plan for the retainer. TRACK RECORD: former VP People & Culture at Faria Education Group — scaled a PE-backed SaaS company from 250 to 500+ employees across 25 countries, through 3 acquisitions and a TA Associates private equity transition. eNPS from -10 to +20, 97% CEO approval, 10.5% leadership-pipeline growth. Recent fractional work: Appodeal (talent-density audit, C-level continuity plan, OKR reset).
