Producer and Project Manager (Project/Client Lead)

Applications submitted elsewhere will not be considered.

Overview Were in a 90-day restructuring and strategy engagement with a consumer brand operating across

content, commerce, retail, and partnerships . The business is ~ 120 people , currently

overweight payroll vs revenue , and under pressure to deliver a clear, board-ready

Option 1

plan (no recap / cap table changes in this phase).

This consultant is the

analytical and structural backbone

of the engagement—owning modeling, org design analysis, and board-ready strategy materials. The work is fast, ambiguous, and high-stakes; you will turn messy inputs into clean outputs the leadership team can use to make decisions.

Purpose of the Role

Own the structuring, modeling, and synthesis for this 90-day engagement.

Convert fast-moving strategy discussions into decision-ready models, org scenarios, and decks.

Reduce cognitive load on the CEO and Producer so they can focus on alignment, politics, and executive decision-making.

Produce a clean, board-ready Option 1 narrative and supporting analytics that show:

Where we are vs where were going (org + cost)

Trade-offs (headcount, payroll %, growth path)

A credible path to improve payroll efficiency (e.g., ~30% ~20% of revenue) and support long-term growth (e.g., ~$50M $200M+ over time)

Core Responsibilities What This Role Owns 1. Org Design & Operating Model Analysis

Build current-state org view: functions, reporting lines, spans of control, headcount by vertical and shared services.

Map payroll costs by vertical (e.g., product lines / channels) and shared services (marketing, creative, ops, tech, finance, legal, supply chain).

Identify duplication, bottlenecks, over/under-staffing, and founder-dependencies.





Design 1–2 future-state org scenarios (verticals + shared services) with:

Headcount and payroll implications

Pros/cons, complexity, and execution risks

Clear decision-rights recommendations

2. Revenue & Scenario Modeling

Build and maintain a easy, transparent model distinguishing:

Audience / top-of-funnel surfaces (content, email, social, podcast)

Revenue lines (commerce/product, retail, partnerships/events, podcast monetization, advisory/equity where relevant)

Create 2–3 scenarios (e.g., maintain / rationalize & focus / growth-led) showing:

Revenue trajectory by line

Payroll and cost structure by vertical/shared services

Payroll % of revenue trend toward target

Produce decision outputs (1–2 pages, charts, and answerable questions), e.g.:

What headcount changes get payroll to target without breaking growth?

What volume of initiatives justifies in-house teams vs agency?

3. Master Strategy Deck

Own drafting and iteration of the

board-ready strategy deck

(Option 1 only).

Make the audience vs revenue distinction vivid and actionable for board-level readers.

Translate next-gen org framing into a clear structure:

Distribution & community

Taste & authority

Systems & leverage (AI/automation/shared services)

4. Structuring the Work

Join key calls and convert conversations into:

Decision logs + clear next steps

Workplans (owners, timelines, dependencies)

Clean document architecture (models, deck, appendices)

Keep materials aligned to constraints: payroll targets, timeline, and board expectations.

Collaboration Model With CEO (Project Lead)

Co-build narrative and decision framing; CEO holds final call on deck direction and external messaging.

With Producer + Project Manager

Align on sequencing, deliverables,



and meeting-driven deadlines; package outputs for executive/board audiences.

Explicitly Out of Scope

People management or acting as an interim executive

Running hiring processes (you may inform role design analytically)

Running financing processes or investor negotiations

Internal company finance/ops cleanup unrelated to this project
