Interim Chief Technology Officer – Fractional Engagement
Contract: Six months – Outside IR35
Location: Hybrid – Central London and remote
Nigel Frank is supporting a rapidly growing, technology-led organisation with the appointment of an experienced Interim Chief Technology Officer for a fractional six-month engagement. The business is expanding quickly across multiple international locations and needs a proven technology leader to assess its current capability, establish a clear strategic direction and ensure its technology function can scale effectively alongside its growth.
The most important requirement is genuine scale-up experience. You must be able to demonstrate how you have previously helped a technology-led business navigate significant growth and built the strategy, structure and capability required to support it.
The Assignment
- Assess the existing technology environment, operating model, capabilities and risks.
- Develop a practical three-to-five-year technology strategy and roadmap.
- Ensure systems, platforms, architecture, data and processes can support continued growth.
- Review the structure of the technology function and advise when and how teams should expand.
- Establish scalable technology governance and operating practices.
- Assess technology, data and security risks and introduce appropriate controls.
- Work closely with the existing leadership and technical teams to turn strategy into practical plans.
- Provide strategic direction while remaining willing to work hands-on where required.
