Fractional COO: an experienced operations director for your SME, a few days a month
Need an operational right hand, but not a full-time hire? I become your operations director a few days a month. You get 20 years of experience without the cost or commitment of a permanent position.
Who is it for?
- Owners who carry all the day-to-day operations alone and no longer have time to lead.
- Fast-growing companies opening new sites or hiring.
- SMEs going through a reorganisation, a takeover or a transition.
What I take on
- Running operations and performance indicators.
- Structuring processes and writing operations manuals.
- Coordinating departments and supporting managers.
- Turning your strategy into concrete actions.
Why a fractional COO?
Senior experience
Senior operations experience, for a fraction of the cost of a full-time role.
Flexible
The number of days adapts to your needs and busy periods.
An outside view
I see what habit makes invisible.
A planned exit
I train your team so the organisation holds without me.
How it works
- A diagnostic of your organisation.
- A roadmap with measurable goals.
- A regular presence, on site or remotely, a few days a month, and a weekly check-in with you.
- A gradual handover to your team.
