All roles
Fractional COO
Operational leadership for processes, scaling and execution.
A fractional COO turns strategy into operations: processes that scale, clear responsibilities and an organisation that delivers without the founders in every meeting.
Typical mandates: bringing structure into fast growth, untangling founder-dependent operations, integrating acquisitions and installing an operating cadence that survives busy quarters.
When it makes sense
- Growth has outpaced your processes. Everything runs through the founders.
- Quality and delivery become inconsistent as the team grows.
- A merger, relocation or major operational change needs experienced hands.
- You know what should happen. Execution is the bottleneck.
Typical problems solved
- Processes and responsibilities that don't scale
- Founder dependency in day-to-day operations
- Supply chain, delivery or service operations under strain
- Post-merger integration and reorganisation
- Goal systems and operational cadence
What a mandate looks like
A fractional COO typically starts hands-on, often two days a week, and works towards structures that no longer need them. Success is measured by what runs without founders in the room.
