Fractional HR Director
frak-shuh-nl aych-ar duh-rek-ter (noun)
A Fractional HR Director is a senior people and culture leader hired on a part-time or advisory basis to build and oversee HR strategy, organisational structure, and people operations — without the overhead of a full-time hire.
They handle the things growing businesses can't afford to get wrong: hiring frameworks, performance management, compliance, remuneration structures, culture design, and the difficult conversations no one else wants to have.
Most businesses between 10 and 100 people are underserved by HR — too big to wing it, too small to justify a Head of People salary. A Fractional HR Director fills that gap with genuine seniority and practical experience.
Think: the people leader who builds the systems that make great teams possible.
