You're qualified. That's not the question.

You've led at the executive level — run a function, owned a P&L, built a team. What you don't have is a map: which platforms are free and which charge you monthly, which vet and match you and which are just open job boards, and — the part that actually matters — who pays the fee when you land a placement. That last one is where real opportunities and pay-to-play traps split apart.

Nobody teaches this from your side of the table. What exists is written by the platforms themselves, aimed at the companies hiring — not the executives applying. This class is built from real applications, real timelines, real outcomes — across dozens of platforms, not just the two or three everyone already knows about.

What You'll Walk Away With

The full landscape of platforms built to connect fractional talent with companies that hire fractionally: How they actually work, and what most expect from you before they'll even consider you (hint: your regular resume won't cut it)

Which platforms are free to join, which charge you monthly, and which require you to pay for training or certification as part of getting vetted: so you know the real cost of participating before you commit, not after. You'll see the difference between the sites that are truly free — where you browse open roles posted weekly — and the ones that actually vet and match you directly to clients, because their reputation depends on placing you with confidence, so you're never blindsided by a fee you didn't see coming.

Your fractional identity: how to think about your title, your niche, and your LinkedIn presence

How founders actually evaluate case studies: and how to turn your work into STAR case studies (Situation, Task, Action, Result) that get noticed

Real perks some platforms offer: access to medical benefits, or handled-for-you proposals, invoicing, and payments — often in exchange for a bigger cut, so you can weigh the trade-off for yourself

Where to start: and in what order — once class ends

Who This Is For

Professionals transitioning from full-time roles into fractional work, or thinking about it — product, design, marketing, operations, finance and beyond. If you've led teams, owned outcomes, or run a function — whatever the title was — and you're ready to figure out where you actually fit in the fractional market, this is your starting point.

Meet Amanda

Fractional Chief Experience Officer (CXO) & Founder | User Experience & AI-Native Product Strategy

Amanda's road to fractional wasn't a straight line — Microsoft, then fractional by accident, leading three founders before one of them hired her full-time to run their venture studio, then four years at an ad agency focused on pharma user experience and rare disease education, a layoff — and landing back in fractional work, this time on purpose. The corporate and agency chapters ran on the same mechanics fractional work does — hours, allocations, juggling multiple stakeholders and priorities at once — just under a different title. She specializes in product strategy, UX research, and behavior-driven experience design — she builds and operates, she doesn't just advise — and built MasterClass by Amanda — starting with The Fractional Landscape for Talent — from her own transition, including being vetted across multiple platforms, among them several invitation-only fractional networks.
