How to Negotiate a Part-Time Director Role After 50

from Late-Career Conversations with Fexingo: 50+ Professionals, Encore Careers, and Pre-Retirement · host Fexingo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how late-career professionals can successfully negotiate a part-time director role, using the case of a former VP of Operations at a mid-sized logistics firm who transitioned to a three-day-a-week director position. They break down the specific negotiation tactics: framing the role around outcomes rather than hours, offering a trial period, and structuring compensation with a fixed retainer plus performance bonus. The hosts also discuss common objections from employers and how to counter them, drawing on real-world data from executive placement firms. If you're 50+ and want to step back without stepping out, this episode gives you a concrete playbook. #PartTimeDirector #LateCareerNegotiation #ExecutiveTransition #FractionalLeadership #CareerAfter50 #NegotiationTactics #CompensationStructure #OutcomeBasedRoles #TrialPeriodHiring #DirectorLevel #LogisticsIndustry #VPToDirector #WorkLifeBalance #PhaseRetirement #BoardPlacement #CareerPivot #Business #FexingoBusiness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
