Offer-Positioning One-Pager ($150K–$350K)
1) Role Target
Target title: [Role]
Level: [Manager / Sr Manager / Director / Sr Director]
Function: [Ops / Product / Data / Eng / GTM / People]
Scope: [# teams / # ICs / regions / product lines / plants / revenue influence]
2) 30-Second Positioning (what you’re “buying”)
“I’m the person you bring in to deliver measurable outcomes fast—typically [cost / cycle time / quality / revenue / reliability]—while reducing operational risk in [system/process/org].”
3) Value Narrative (Impact + Risk Reduction)
Business impact I reliably create
$[X] saved / earned by [initiative] (baseline → result, timeframe)
[Y]% improvement in [metric] by [lever]
[Z] throughput / cycle time / SLA gains with [constraint removed]
Risk reduction I reliably deliver
Reduced [failure mode / compliance exposure / downtime] by [X]%
Introduced controls + governance: [audits, SOPs, monitoring, incident process]
Eliminated key-person risk by standardizing + documenting + training
4) Proof Pack (what makes it “approvable”)
Attach or be ready to show:
1-page before/after KPI table (baseline, action, outcome, timeframe)
2–3 artifacts: dashboard, SOP, PRD, playbook, postmortem, project plan
2–3 references/quotes (manager/client, peer leader, stakeholder)
5) The “Comp Approval” Frame (why $150K–$350K makes sense)
Use this logic (not bravado):
Cost of the problem: $[X] per month/quarter in [waste, churn, downtime, quality, delays]
Expected reduction: [Y]% within [timeframe]
ROI: $[X] saved/earned vs. fully-loaded comp → “pays for itself in [weeks/months]”
“This scope is worth senior-level comp because it’s tied to material business outcomes and risk reduction with clear measurement.”
6) Package Architecture (how you present the range)
Your preferred outcome (anchored)
Base: $[ ]
Bonus: [ ]% or $[ ]
Equity / LTI: $[ ] or [ ] units (if applicable)
Sign-on: $[ ] (optional, for make-whole or competing offers)
Your “walk-in” range statement
“Based on scope and market, I’m targeting $150K–$250K total comp, depending on level, bonus/equity mix, and responsibility span. I’m most flexible on structure when the scope is right.”
7) The Three Levers (what you negotiate like a pro)
Level/Scope: title, reporting line, ownership, budget, headcount
Comp Mix: base vs bonus vs equity vs sign-on
Success Terms: 30/60/90 goals, resources, stakeholder access (protect delivery)
8) Closing Line (confident, non-combative)
“If we align on scope and success metrics, I’m confident we’ll land on a package that reflects the impact.”
