Leadership
Senior leadership, embedded in your team. Without the full-time hire.
Our leaders take ownership of the role, not an advisory seat beside it. Bring one in as an interim while you hire or scale, or for longer where you need the know-how on tap.
Sound familiar?
You need a leader who has been in the seat, now, not after a six-month search.
The role can't justify a full-time hire
'I need a high-energy Commercial Director but can't justify hiring someone full time.'
A gap while you hire or scale
A departure or fast growth leaves key decisions waiting and teams without direction.
A programme slipping
'We need accountable programme management to oversee a new product development.'
Technical depth at leadership level
'I don't want to adopt another OEM's electrical architecture. Could we do it ourselves?'
Four roles
The leaders we place.
Each leader is backed by the wider Pi team, depending on the engagement level you choose.
Chief Technology Officer
Shape the technology vision, lead R&D, scale the engineering team and manage the technology budget, with a strategic voice at the executive table.
Chief Operating Officer
Run day-to-day operations, align teams and processes with the strategy, and build the operating rhythm that turns plans into delivery.
Director, Programme Management
Consistent, high-quality programme delivery through strong governance, the right resourcing, early risk management and empowered project teams.
Chief Engineer – EE and Software
Own the electrical and software systems architecture, from requirements through to in-field validation, and resolve the complex technical issues along the way.
