Fractional CTO / Scope of Engagement

Technology Leadership That Delivers.

Technology Strategy & Roadmap

Define and govern the technology strategy — stack decisions, build vs. buy trade-offs, platform architecture, and 12–36 month technology roadmap aligned to business objectives.

AI & Digital Transformation Leadership

Own the AI strategy, digital transformation programme, and technology modernisation agenda. Bridge the gap between AI ambition and engineering execution — with governance that delivers results.

Engineering Governance & Delivery

Establish engineering delivery standards — sprint governance, release management, code quality controls, incident management, and technology team performance measurement.

Architecture Review & Design

Review and govern technology architecture decisions — cloud strategy, microservices design, data architecture, API governance, and scalability planning for growth-stage organisations.

Vendor & Technology Partner Management

Manage technology vendor relationships, evaluate and select technology partners, govern outsourced development, and ensure IP protection in external technology engagements.

Cybersecurity Oversight

Own the security posture — policy governance, compliance alignment (ISO 27001, SOC 2), vendor security standards, and incident response framework. Work alongside your security team or CISO.

Fundraising & Due Diligence Support

Represent the technology stack and architecture in investor due diligence, board presentations, and M&A transactions. Build the technical credibility that investors and acquirers require.

Technology Team Building & Leadership

Design the technology team structure, lead senior technology hires, establish engineering culture, and build the team capability required to execute your technology roadmap at scale.
