Your experience belongs
in more than one room.

Your relationships didn’t stay behind at your last job. Workfriends works selectively with experienced people who want to put their judgment, capabilities and relationships to work on new commercial opportunities, including work beyond their day job.

/ What Workfriends contributes

Senior executives, operators & connectors

Participation can involve a paid project, fractional role, commercial collaboration or origination of qualified business. The starting point is what you can contribute and where it is relevant. Responsibilities and economics are agreed around an actual opportunity.

/ Recognize the situation?

Start with the work in front of you.

Common briefs to discuss with Workfriends.

You can own a specific piece of work.

Revenue leadership, partnerships, content, commerce, experiential or another specialist capability may fit a defined engagement. Describe the work you can deliver and your real availability.

You know a credible opportunity.

A trusted contact has a business need and a reason to consider help. Bring the context and your relationship to it before making an introduction; participation terms belong at the beginning.

You are building the next chapter.

Founder collaboration, a fractional engagement or a career transition can begin with relevant people knowing what you bring. The network is selective and opportunity-led.

/ A scope with a purpose

Define what needs to move.

The first conversation establishes fit. A paid engagement has an agreed objective, owner, deliverables and commercial terms.

01

Project and fractional work

A defined role, deliverable, decision owner and compensation around a business that needs the capability.

02

Origination and commercial participation

An agreed role in identifying or advancing qualified business, with the basis, duration and payment terms of any participation made clear.

03

A team around an opportunity

Complementary senior people can contribute different parts of a commercial problem. Workfriends helps identify fit and organize the responsibilities.

/ Questions worth asking

Can I participate while I have a W-2 role?

Potentially. Workfriends can explore defined projects or commercial opportunities that fit your availability and existing commitments. Any necessary employer permissions and conflicts need to be addressed before the work begins.

How are connectors paid?

Connector economics are agreed for a qualified opportunity, including the contribution, attribution, compensation basis and timing. An introduction by itself does not establish an entitlement; the arrangement should be clear before the parties proceed.

Is this a job board or guaranteed stream of projects?

No. Workfriends develops selective commercial relationships around real needs. A conversation establishes where someone’s experience and access may fit; it does not guarantee a role or income.

What should I send first?

A short note about your experience, the work you can own and any specific opportunity you see. If a relationship is involved, describe why the introduction would be useful. Kevin can then discuss fit and the next step.

/ Bring it to Workfriends

A useful conversation starts with context.

Bring your background, strongest capability, realistic capacity and the type of opportunity you can help. If you have a relationship to introduce, start with its context rather than a list of private contacts.
