Product Leadership Hour

About this task

This health insurer covering fleets and logistics (501–1,000 employees) is looking for a senior Product Manager for a paid one-hour session with a senior specialist. A senior product leader's view on one decision.

The company has one decision to take and wants a senior view before it does. It is an insurer, so accuracy and an audit trail come before speed.

The work is fully remote. Any location in United Kingdom works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. The call is booked at a time that suits you, evenings included. About 1 hour a week should overlap with the team's day (UK time).

What you deliver

• Review a founder's roadmap and answer three questions on sequencing, team size and what to cut.
• Pointers to sources you relied on, so the company can check them
• No preparation outside the hour unless you both agree to extend
• One focused hour, with the questions sent to you the day before

How the work runs

• Day 1: scope confirmed in writing, files shared
• Middle of the period: draft shared for early feedback
• Last day: final version and handover note

Duration: One session of about an hour. Accepted when the output matches the agreed checklist and the sample check passes; the recruiter confirms by e-mail.

Tools

How you get paid

• The company prepays Deftridge before your first hour, so payment does not depend on a late invoice.
• Deftridge pays you in GBP after the company confirms the hours or the deliverable. The payment date is written in your task agreement.
• You work as an independent contractor: you report your own income, and your recruiter sends the statements your accountant needs.
