FAQ

Questions about this service

How many days a week is "fractional"?

It varies by need — typically one to three days a week, scoped to what the business actually requires and reviewed quarterly.

What happens when we're ready to hire full-time?

We hand over cleanly, with documentation and a mentored team ready to support a new permanent hire from day one.

Is this the same as a consultant?

No — we sit inside the business making the calls a full-time hire would, not advising from the outside.

What seniority level do you operate at?

Director-level, with the experience to run the digital function end-to-end, not just advise on parts of it.
