What it is
Fractional leadership is not a discounted permanent hire. It works when the brief is specific, the milestones are explicit and everyone agrees what finished looks like.
We place leaders who have already carried the accountability you are trying to cover: a CTO who has modernised a platform under commercial pressure, a CRO who has rebuilt forecasting discipline, a transformation director who has landed an integration.
How we scope it
Most fractional arrangements drift because nobody defined them. We settle these first.
The outcome, written down, with the measures that prove it.
Decision rights, budget, team and reporting line, agreed with the board.
Honest capacity, not an optimistic two days that turns into four.
Handover to a permanent hire, an internal successor, or a clean close.
Fractional or interim
A permanent shape of role that does not need a full time person. Common for CTO, CDO, CRO and product leadership in businesses under roughly £30m revenue.
A defined period of full time accountability, usually three to twelve months, covering a gap or leading a programme with an end date.
Tell us the gap and the timeline. We will come back with the shape of mandate we would recommend and who we would put forward.
