Project Management Staffing

Organization: The Persimmon Group

The Persimmon Group provides project management staffing for organizations that need more than a contractor — they need a senior project leader who can deliver results and leave the organization stronger. The Persimmon Group is not a traditional staffing firm: every PM is hand-selected by experienced practitioners for strategic thinking and stakeholder management, then backed by Persimmon's full consulting bench and an active Community of Practice.

What Sets Us Apart

• Every project manager is hand-selected by experienced PM practitioners — not matched by keyword scanners.
• Each Persimmon PM is backed by an active Community of Practice, giving clients the collective expertise of the entire firm.
• Persimmon PMs deliver outcomes and elevate the project culture around them — not just manage tasks.
• Engagements are fractional or full-time, 25–100% up to 160 hours per month, with a typical minimum of six months.
• Specialized in high-stakes cross-functional work: ERP, AI and data, digital transformation, and organizational change.

Representative Engagements

Who We Help

• Organizations facing project surges or gaps who need senior PM leadership without adding full-time headcount
• Companies preparing for ERP, digital transformation, or AI and data initiatives requiring outcomes-focused program leadership
• High-growth organizations whose internal PM capacity hasn't scaled with business complexity
• Executives who need a project leader with consulting mindset, not just task management skills
• Organizations that have been burned by traditional staffing firms that prioritize volume over quality

How It Works

1. We meet with you to understand your initiative, culture, and outcomes required
2. Senior Persimmon practitioners screen and hand-select candidates against strategic criteria
3. You review and approve the fit before the engagement begins
4. We deploy your selected PM with full backing of Persimmon's consulting bench throughout the engagement
