Hire Senior PMs with $200M+ delivered portfolio, verified mentor track, and Project Executive-ready trajectory — not just tenured PMs with a title bump. Sector-anchored, retention-verified, and referenced from prior PEs and Directors.
Example candidateA structured process for the hire that anchors your delivery culture — where getting the Senior PM wrong doesn’t just cost a project, it costs the PM pipeline they were supposed to mentor.
30-minute call. Align on sector, seat (project-anchored vs. multi-project), portfolio scale, mentor / PM-team structure, PE-track expectations, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Senior PMs with delivered $200M+ portfolios in your sector. References from prior PEs, Directors, and PMs they mentored included.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire fails within the warranty window, we run a no-fee replacement search.
Senior PMs anchor your delivery culture. Portfolio depth, mentor track, and PE-ready trajectory separate a Senior PM who compounds your PM pipeline from one who just holds one project down.
Every Senior PM on the shortlist has $200M+ delivered portfolio history in your sector — not just resume tenure. Reference-verified from prior PEs, Directors, and project executives.
Reference-verified from PMs they mentored: who they promoted, who they retained, and how they grew the pipeline. Not just a “managed a team” resume line.
Every candidate is vetted on the specific skills (portfolio governance, PM oversight, owner-facing composure, cost discipline) that indicate the Project Executive promotion is coming.
Every candidate is credential-verified, portfolio-referenced, and matched to your sector. Anonymized examples below reflect real placement profiles.
