Peterson Technology Partners
Fractional Chief Sales Officer – Strategy & Growth
A fractional CSO engagement working directly with the CEO of an established IT staffing and consulting firm to assess sales processes, diagnose gaps, and deliver a practical growth roadmap. Strategy and recommendations, not execution.
Peterson Technology Partners is seeking an experienced sales executive to serve as a fractional CSO, partnering directly with the CEO at approximately 10 hours per week. The scope is strategic advisory rather than hands-on execution. PTP already has a VP of Sales and an established sales team in place. The fractional CSO will objectively assess the current sales organisation, go-to-market approach, and revenue strategy, then translate those findings into a clear 90-day and longer-term roadmap for leadership to act on.
The initial engagement is expected to run approximately three months, with potential for extension. The role spans PTP's service lines including IT Staffing, IT Consulting, AI Solutions, Project Services, and Global Delivery. Candidates must bring 15 or more years of sales leadership experience in IT Staffing, Technology Services, or Professional Services, and prior executive-level tenure at VP, SVP, CRO, CSO, or equivalent.
