Fractional IT Director

Senior IT leadership — without the full-time cost.

Most small businesses and charities don't need a full-time IT Director. But they do need someone who can think strategically about technology, keep security and governance in order, and make sure the tools they're paying for are actually working for them.

What this looks like in practice

You get a named person — me — who takes responsibility for your technology direction. Not a helpdesk. Not a one-off project. An ongoing relationship with someone who knows your organisation, understands your goals, and is accountable for making sure your Microsoft 365 environment is secure, well-governed, and working the way it should.

I work with you at director level. That means I can sit in leadership meetings, contribute to board discussions about technology risk, and work alongside your other directors as a peer — not as a supplier who can be ignored.

For organisations that have internal IT staff or someone who's drifted into an IT role, I can also mentor and support that person — building their capability while providing the senior oversight your organisation needs.

A note on authority

Technology change in a small organisation often stalls not because the problems are hard to fix, but because nobody has the authority to make the decisions stick.

A Fractional IT Director changes that dynamic. When I'm working with your organisation in that capacity, I'm not a consultant offering recommendations you can choose to ignore. I'm part of your leadership team, with a defined remit and accountability for outcomes.

That's the difference between a report that sits on a shelf and change that actually happens.

What's included

Everything your organisation needs — nothing it doesn't.

Every engagement is different, but a typical Fractional IT Director arrangement covers:

Monthly tenant review

Security, licensing, and governance — checked every month so nothing drifts and problems don't build up unnoticed.

One meaningful improvement every month

Working through findings, building better processes, reducing risk — steadily and systematically.

Available by email and Teams

Questions and decisions as they arise — you have a senior technology resource available when you need one.

Quarterly written summary

What's changed, what's next, what the risks are — in plain English, suitable for sharing with your board.

Leadership and board attendance

Where technology is on the agenda, I can attend as your IT Director — contributing at peer level with your other directors.

Internal staff mentoring

Where you have someone in an IT role who needs support and development, I work alongside them — building capability from within.

Who this is for

This service works best for organisations that:

  • Have between 10 and 100 staff on Microsoft 365

  • Don't have a dedicated IT Director or senior technology lead

  • Have had a Health Check and know what needs fixing — and want someone to own that process

  • Are growing, changing, or facing increased scrutiny on security and data governance

  • Have tried to make changes internally and found that without director-level authority, things don't move

How it starts

Most Fractional IT Director engagements begin with an M365 Health Check. That gives us both a clear picture of where things stand — and a ready-made list of priorities to work through together.

If you've already had a Health Check elsewhere, or you have a clear sense of what needs doing, we can start from there instead.

Either way, the first step is a free 30-minute conversation to understand your organisation and whether this is the right fit.

Ready to have someone in your corner?

Let's have a conversation about your organisation, what's not working, and whether a Fractional IT Director is the right fit. No pitch, no obligation.
