The Fractional CD Explained
What Is a Fractional Commercial Director — And Does Your Business Need One?
The term "Fractional Commercial Director" is becoming more common — but for many business owners, it still raises questions. What does one actually do?
What is it? A Fractional Commercial Director provides part-time commercial leadership to businesses that need strategic direction but aren't ready — or don't need — a full-time hire at that level.
What do they actually do?
Define and drive commercial strategy
Improve sales processes and conversion
Build pricing frameworks and margin discipline
Create performance reporting that drives decisions
Provide senior-level thinking without the full-time cost
Who is it for? Typically businesses turning over £1m–£10m that have grown beyond the founder's ability to manage everything commercially, but aren't large enough to justify a £100k+ full-time salary.
