Fractional Product & UX Leadership when your team needs senior direction without a full-time hire

Senior product and UX leadership without defaulting to a full-time hire.

Fractional product and UX leadership for teams that need more than advice. I help shape priorities, strengthen product quality, guide operating cadence, and mentor the team, with involvement scaled by how close the work gets to full-time leadership dependency.

Where this is most useful

  • Teams that need senior product/UX leadership before hiring full-time
  • Founders with distributed teams, offshore partners, or recurring product-quality drift
  • Companies that want leadership access without defaulting to personal design production

Scope and investment

Billed monthly upfront with a 3-month minimum. Prices rise as the role becomes closer to full-time leadership dependency. Design execution is not included unless explicitly scoped.

Support

3-month minimum

Lighter fractional leadership, critique, async support, and selected rituals only where scoped.

Investment
AED 25K-30K/month
Recommended

Operating

3-month minimum

Recurring leadership involvement, roadmap support, standards, and delivery governance.

Investment
AED 35K-42K/month

Intensive

3-month minimum

Higher-dependency support during critical phases, launches, rebuilds, or organizational change.

Investment
AED 45K-50K+/month
How it works Book a 15-minute call. I confirm the scope, timeline, access needs, and commercial model, then send a written proposal.

What changes the scope

  • How often you need access and decision support
  • Whether I join cadence, rituals, planning, or critique sessions
  • Whether mentoring, hiring, or team structuring is included
  • How close the work gets to full-time leadership dependency

Engagement boundary

This can include cadence and operating involvement when scoped, but the term Lead is avoided intentionally: personal design execution is not included unless I agree to it explicitly.

Engagement shape

1
Month 1
Onboarding, current-state review, priorities, team access, and operating boundaries
2
Month 2
Recurring product/UX leadership, quality standards, and cadence support as scoped
3
Month 3+
Ongoing leadership support, team coaching, and strategic execution stability

Not for

  • Teams looking for a designer freelancer by default
  • Organizations that only need occasional critique and can fit Strategic Advisor
  • Scopes where the expectation is full-time executive availability at part-time prices

Next step

If you only need critique, choose Strategic Advisor. If you need operating diagnosis first, choose Product Systems Audit.

Common Questions

Why does the price rise toward the high band?
The closer the work gets to full-time leadership dependency, the more availability and opportunity cost it consumes. The higher bands price that dependency explicitly.
Do you personally do the design work?
Not by default. I lead, critique, structure, and unblock. Personal design execution is scoped separately only when it is strategically appropriate.
Is this cheaper than hiring a Head of Product or Head of UX?
It is not positioned as a cheap salary substitute. It is senior fractional access with faster ramp, lower hiring overhead, and scoped availability.
