What is Fractional Executive (Director) Work?
Fractional executive or director work allows businesses to access experienced C-level leadership—such as a Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), Chief Operating Officer (COO), Chief Technology Officer (CTO), or hybrid roles like Chief Marketing and Operating Officer (CMOO) or Chief Marketing and Technology Officer (CMOTO)—on a part-time or project-based basis.
This model offers the expertise of seasoned professionals to help organizations drive marketing strategy, streamline operations, oversee technology transformations, or integrate disciplines into cohesive strategies. And the best part? You get this high-impact leadership at a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time executive.
How Much Can You SAVE? 60-75% or $150,000 to $200,000
By working with a fractional executive for just 10–20 hours a week, companies can save 60–75% compared to the cost of a full-time executive. Here’s how:
- A full-time executive earning $200,000 annually with benefits and overhead can COST upwards of $250,000–$300,000 per year.
- A fractional executive or director provides the same level of expertise and leadership for a fraction of that cost, typically SAVING you around $150,000–$200,000 annually (or even more, depending on hours).
This makes fractional leadership the ideal solution for startups, small businesses, or organizations undergoing change that need expert guidance without the financial commitment of a full-time hire.
Why Choose Fractional Leadership?
With a fractional executive, you can:
- Gain expert leadership tailored to your specific needs.
- Avoid the long-term costs and risks associated with full-time hiring.
- Scale expertise up or down as your business grows or priorities shift.
Fractional executives provide scalable, efficient, and high-impact solutions, helping you achieve your business goals while staying budget-conscious.
