Fractional AI Officer
Senior AI leadership embedded in your organisation — without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. We own your AI programme so your team can focus on running the business.
What a Fractional AI Officer does
Most organisations need AI leadership but aren't ready — or can't afford — a full-time Chief AI Officer. A Fractional AI Officer gives you the strategic thinking, programme oversight, and hands-on delivery capability of a senior AI leader, available on a retainer basis that scales with your needs.
We work inside your organisation: attending leadership meetings, managing vendors and partners, coaching your team, and keeping AI delivery aligned to business outcomes.
What's included
- Dedicated AI leadership and programme ownership
- Monthly strategy review and board reporting
- Vendor and partner selection and management
- AI governance and compliance oversight
- Team capability development and coaching
- Hands-on delivery support for priority initiatives
- Escalation point for AI-related risk and incidents
Who this is for
Healthcare organisations, regulated businesses, and growth-stage companies that are serious about AI but don't yet need — or can't yet justify — a permanent AI director. Also well suited to organisations mid-programme where leadership continuity is critical.

Common questions
What does a Fractional AI Officer do?
A Fractional AI Officer provides strategic AI leadership without the cost of a full-time hire. We attend leadership meetings, own your AI roadmap, evaluate vendor claims, govern implementations, and ensure AI investments are aligned with operational outcomes.
How much does a Fractional AI Officer cost?
Engagements start from £3,500 per month on a retained basis. The exact scope depends on how many days per month you need and what governance responsibilities you want covered.
Who is this right for?
Organisations actively investing in AI but lacking the internal expertise to evaluate options, govern deployments, and connect AI initiatives to business outcomes. Common among NHS-affiliated providers, private healthcare groups, and regulated professional services firms.
How is this different from hiring an AI consultant for a project?
A project consultant delivers and leaves. A Fractional AI Officer is an ongoing leadership presence — attending board meetings, owning the AI strategy, holding vendors to account, and building internal capability over time.
What governance frameworks do you apply?
We work within ISO 42001 AI management principles, UK GDPR, and the UK AI Safety framework. In healthcare contexts we also align with NHS DSPT requirements and EU AI Act high-risk classification where applicable.
Every engagement starts with the Operations Reduction Audit.
No matter what you need from us, the audit comes first. It tells us exactly where you're losing time and money — so we can be certain we're delivering the right solution for your organisation.
