Fractional Head of IT
Gain the experience of a Head of IT – without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. Our Fractional Head of IT service is designed for SMEs who need structure, leadership, and accountability across their IT – not just technical support.
Practical IT Leadership, When You Need It
Many growing businesses reach a point where ad-hoc support or a single ‘IT guy’ isn’t enough – but hiring a full-time Head of IT doesn’t make commercial sense. That’s where we fit. We act as your internal IT lead – managing suppliers, setting priorities, controlling spend, and making sure IT supports how your business actually operates.
What a Fractional Head of IT Does for Your Business:
- Strategic Planning: Developing clear technology roadmaps that support growth.
- Budget Management: Optimising IT spend and forecasting future costs (OpEx & CapEx).
- Vendor Management: We handle the third parties, ensuring you get value and performance.
- Management & Director-Level Reporting: Translating technical issues into clear, practical updates for business owners and directors.
- Team Mentorship: Guiding your internal junior IT staff or managing external MSP relationships.
- System Improvements & Modernisation: Planning and delivering sensible upgrades, migrations, and improvements that reduce risk and downtime.
What is a Fractional Head of IT (Virtual IT Manager/Director)?
A senior IT leader who works part-time/on retainer - covering strategy, oversight, governance, and accountability without a full-time hire.
Is this suitable if we already have an IT technician / IT team / MSP?
Yes. We provide leadership and planning while your technician focuses on execution and support.
What does a typical engagement include?
An initial review, a prioritised roadmap, regular leadership touchpoints, supplier oversight, and reporting.
Can you work with our existing MSP or suppliers?
Yes. We coordinate suppliers, set standards, and hold them to account.
