- ✓Scope: process design, tool-stack optimization (Jira, Linear, Notion, Productboard), data culture (KPIs and OKRs) and team skill transformation.
- ✓Reported engagement outcomes: 40% faster shipping, 25% efficiency gain, full roadmap visibility.
- ✓Hire when priorities shift weekly, releases slip, or you are scaling from 2 to 10 PMs and process stops keeping up.
- ✓Structured model: audit the current state, fix the highest-friction stages, enable the team so improvements stick.
- ✓Consulting rebuilds the engine; a fractional CPO also owns the strategy behind it. Many clients combine both.
What is Product Management Consulting?
Product Management Consulting focuses on fixing the “how” behind your product development. While strategy defines the destination, an expert Product Management Consultant builds the engine that gets you there. I help organizations move from “feature factory” chaos to a disciplined, data-driven product operating model.
Whether you are scaling from 2 to 10 PMs or struggling with execution velocity, I audit your current state and implement world-class processes that stick.
Sivan Kadosh’s engagements run between Seed and Series B, roughly $2M to $15M ARR, after 18 years leading product as CEO and VP Product. Published results include trial-to-paid 35% to 49% and onboarding completion 52% to 81% at Touchstay, net revenue retention 102% to 112% at a $30M ARR MarTech SaaS, and a production MVP in four months with visitor-to-first-deposit up 68% at NAXEX. Every figure is measured against the company’s own baseline, and the full set is in the case studies.
“Most teams don’t have a strategy problem, they have an execution problem. The roadmap exists, but priorities shift weekly, releases slip, and nobody can say why a feature shipped. Product management consulting is about fixing that machine: how decisions get made, how the backlog is ranked, how the team ships. I find where the engine is grinding and rebuild it so your product org runs without me.”
SaaS product management consulting comes from four kinds of providers: independent ex-operator consultants, boutique product consultancies, large management-consulting firms with a product practice, and staffing or fractional marketplaces. I am an independent consultant and former CPO who embeds with Series A and Series B SaaS teams, which fits companies that want an operator inside the work rather than a report from the outside.
Founders describe this need in several different ways, and a product management consultant is one of them. Whether founders call it a part-time head of product, an interim product leader, a fractional CPO, or product leadership on retainer, the engagement is the same: a senior product operator embedded in your team, accountable for the outcome.

Why Hire a Product Management Consultant?
Expert guidance that transforms how your organization operates, eliminating bottlenecks and process confusion. Consulting covers the execution engine end to end: discovery and prioritization that hold up under pressure, tooling that fits the team rather than the other way round, KPIs and OKRs people actually use, and enablement so the improvements survive after the engagement ends.
Where the waste comes from. Pendo’s 2019 Feature Adoption Report, built on anonymized usage across 615 software subscriptions, found that 80% of features in the average software product are rarely or never used, and that 12% of features drive 80% of daily usage. That is a prioritization problem before it is an engineering one, which is exactly what a consulting engagement fixes.
Accelerated Time to Market

When to Hire a Product Management Consultant?
Product management consulting is ideal for companies facing these specific challenges. Hire when priorities shift weekly, when releases slip and nobody can say why a feature shipped, or when you are scaling from 2 to 10 PMs and the process that worked at two stops keeping up.
Scaling Operations
Your team has grown from 2 to 10+ PMs, and informal communication is breaking down. You need structured processes to maintain alignment and velocity.
Tool Stack Chaos
Your Jira is a mess, the roadmap lives in Excel, and specs are lost in Notion. You need to clean up your technical stack to create a single source of truth.
Building First PM Team
Founders are stepping back from product roles. You are hiring your first PMs and need to establish the foundational culture, templates, and expectations.
What Clients Say
As a product manager, I can say that Sivan is very professional – always looking deeply on the discussed feature to understand end to end its effect on the whole product, and as well the eager to understand what would be the added value to the strategy of the company. Nothing was added without a clear scope of development, a clear understanding of the business owner and a clear way to measure the success or failure of this feature.
Leading by example, empowering, mentoring, and growing his product teams, he created great product culture and set us Product Managers up for success. His vision and strategic direction enabled us to create successful products that brought millions of dollars of revenue to the company and its clients.
Sivan played two major roles at the same time as a CEO and VP Product at Naxex. As part of his role as VP Product, he identified creative ideas, developed sharp strategies and built the road map while focusing on customer experience and business needs. Any company would be lucky to have Sivan.
