Fractional Program Leadership

PMN embeds senior operators with institutional backgrounds under PMN leadership on every engagement. Founded by a former SVP of Global Program Management at Citi.

Delivered at rates competitive with fully-loaded FTE cost. Structured to scale up or down as your portfolio evolves. Not staffing. Not consulting. Program leadership that lands.

The proposition

Senior specialized delivery that flexes with your needs.

We place the right specialist for the right project at rates competitive with fully-loaded FTE costs — then scale up or down as your portfolio evolves. No hiring lag. No fixed cost that persists after the work is done. No consulting overhead.

Senior specialized expertise

A curated network of senior operators with institutional-scale backgrounds — spanning program management, application development, data engineering, and AI implementation — with strategic oversight from PMN leadership on every engagement.

FTE-competitive economics

Engagements priced against fully-loaded FTE cost — typically 30–50% less all-in — with immediate activation instead of a 3–6 month hiring and ramp lag.

Flexible capacity

Scale up for specific initiatives, scale down as they complete. Operating-expenditure flexibility that fixed FTE hiring simply does not provide.

The PMN difference

PMN leadership on every engagement.

Every PMN engagement includes strategic oversight from PMN leadership. Your embedded operator delivers day-to-day; PMN leadership ensures quality, accelerates decisions, and remains accountable for outcomes.

Not a staffing placement

Firm-led, not a résumé handed over.

Not a marketplace match

No hands-off, fend-for-yourself pairing.

Firm-led engagement

Senior operators embedded in your team.

The economics

Priced against fully-loaded FTE cost — typically 30–50% less all-in.

A senior program manager FTE typically costs $180–220K in salary plus 30–40% in benefits and burden — roughly $250–300K first-year all-in, with a 3–6 month hiring and ramp cycle. PMN delivers senior program leadership at rates competitive with fully-loaded FTE cost, with immediate activation and the flexibility to scale up or down as your portfolio evolves.

How we deliver

Embedded. Accountable. AI-accelerated.

Most programs don't fail for lack of plans — they fail when execution discipline isn't owned. We embed as senior practitioners, own the outcome, and apply AI-enabled tooling to move faster without losing rigor.

Embedded, not advisory

We sit in the room with your team and own the work — not deliver decks from arm's length. Stepping in is the only way to actually move things forward.

AI-accelerated

We apply AI-enabled delivery tooling to compress analysis, reporting, and coordination — so senior time goes to decisions, not status theater.

Accountable for outcomes

Engagements are scoped around what gets delivered, never hours billed. The metric that matters is whether the program shipped.

Built to exit

We install capability that survives our departure — documented operating models and trained people. No manufactured dependency.
