Fractional COO

A fractional COO who operates, not observes.

A fractional COO is a senior operations leader who works inside your business part-time. Vitori's operators join your leadership team, fix what is holding back delivery and operations, and stay accountable until the change holds.

When it makes sense

The systems that worked at 20 people stop holding at 60.

Founders are the bottleneck

Every decision still runs through one or two people, and the business slows whenever they are away.

Delivery is harder to control

Projects slip, quality varies by team, and nobody owns the whole picture.

Margin is eroding

Revenue grows but profit does not, and leadership is stretched across too much.

Bigger contracts expose gaps

Larger clients ask for governance, reporting and capability the business has not built yet.

What our fractional COO does

Inside the leadership team, not advising from the sidelines.

  1. 01

    Design the operating model

    The right leadership structure, decision rights, governance and cadence for your stage, so the business runs without the founder in every decision.

  2. 02

    Fix delivery and operations

    We put practical fixes in place and implement them ourselves, inside your team, rather than handing over a report.

  3. 03

    Work to a proven framework

    The Operational Scale Framework assesses Growth, Delivery and Operations across four stages, from Build to Enterprise. See the framework

  4. 04

    Stay until it holds

    We agree the outcomes first and stay accountable for them until the change lasts.

How it is priced

Outcomes first, then the timescale.

We agree what has to change before we agree how long it takes. Engagements are fixed-term, not open-ended retainers: long enough to embed real change, short enough to keep momentum and accountability.

In the UK a fractional COO typically costs £800 to £1,500 a day. Our guide sets out the three pricing models and what moves the number: how much a fractional COO costs in the UK.
