Leadership
Senior commercial leadership without the full-time commitment
Interim CMOs, CROs, VPs of Sales and commercial directors who bring structure, pace and accountability when leadership depth needs to move faster than recruitment allows.
When this is needed
Signs this might be the right time
Fractional leadership is usually needed when the business has outgrown its current commercial leadership, or when a hire is needed but timing or risk makes a full-time appointment difficult.
- The business needs senior commercial leadership but is not ready for a full-time hire
- A key commercial or marketing leader has left and there is a gap
- Growth has stalled and the commercial team needs stronger direction
- A PE investment requires faster commercial improvement than internal capability allows
- The business is going through a commercial transformation
- There is no clear commercial strategy connecting marketing, sales and customer success

FAQS
Common questions
How many days per week is fractional leadership?
Typically 2–3 days per week, though this flexes based on the needs of the business. Some engagements start more intensively and reduce over time.
How long do fractional engagements last?
Most engagements run for 6–12 months. Some are shorter, focused on a specific commercial challenge. Others extend as the scope grows.
Do your fractional leaders attend board meetings?
Yes. Our fractional CROs and commercial directors attend board meetings, present commercial performance and contribute to strategic planning.
Can this lead to a permanent hire?
In some cases, yes. But the primary goal is to improve commercial performance and build the conditions for the right long-term appointment.
