If the work involves multiple stakeholders, dependencies, or uncertainty, I can usually help.

Yes. I work both directly with clients and through recruitment agencies. I am used to agency contracts, rate cards, onboarding processes and client facing delivery. I aim to make agency relationships simple and reliable by delivering exactly what is agreed.

I operate as an independent project management consultant providing contract and fractional services. In practice, this means I take ownership of delivery and operate as part of your team, while remaining an external, independent professional.

One or more days per week, A set number of days per month, Short term or longer term support, Ongoing fractional delivery, The rate remains the same regardless of the cadence. Details are always confirmed in writing before work begins.

No. I do not offer fixed project fees. Projects often evolve as more information becomes available, priorities shift, or dependencies change. A daily rate model allows flexibility while keeping commercial terms transparent and fair for both sides.

Invoicing is typically monthly, based on days worked during the agreed period. Any specific invoicing requirements, purchase orders, or agency processes are agreed upfront.

I work remotely by default but can attend on site where it adds value. On-site days, travel expectations and cadence are agreed as part of the proposal.

The most important things are: A clear primary point of contact, access to stakeholders when decisions are needed, timely feedback, realistic alignment on budget, resources, and timelines. With those in place, delivery tends to move quickly.

Once my time is allocated for your project, the payment will be due, regardless of the outcome. This is why the Discovery Call is crucial to ensure that the expectations on both sides are clear.
