Lederman will report to the recently named executive vice president of entertainment, JoAnn Alfano--who took over de facto for president Susanne Daniels, who left in June after three years.
Lifetime said Lederman is an executive producer of a television remake of the 2002 film "Maid in Manhattan," which starred Jennifer Lopez and will be a pilot at ABC.
Her involvement in the series emerged from her role over the past three years as president of a production outfit headed by former Walt Disney Studios executive Joe Roth.
At NBC before her involvement with "Will & Grace," she worked in production on both the Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien late-night shows.
