Fractional Legal & Compliance
Fractional Compliance Officer for an ongoing part-time requirement.
An experienced part-time compliance professional takes on clearly defined responsibilities within your organisation, selected personally and supported by a partner.
When it fits
Compliance expertise at the right part-time workload.
The model fits an ongoing requirement at a defined part-time workload and can support build phases as the internal function grows.
A regulated organisation needs ongoing compliance capacity at a defined part-time workload.
A compliance framework needs to be built, documented or stabilised in operation.
Management and business teams need an experienced contact for defined compliance matters.
The function should grow with the organisation and prepare its later structure.
Potential scope
What a Fractional Compliance Officer can take on.
The precise mandate is documented before the search begins. Typical components include:
- Structure the assessment of compliance risks and regulatory requirements
- Build or operate policies, controls and recurring compliance processes
- Support management and business teams on defined compliance matters
- Coordinate audits, reporting and documented follow-up
- Prepare a later handover to an internal full-time function
Define accountability
Formal accountability is assessed for each mandate.
A prescribed or licence-relevant function requires suitable regulation, governance and mandate design. We assess these requirements before selection and record them in the mandate.
Process
From the requirement to a defined part-time role.
Define the mandate
We clarify tasks, decision rights, reporting line, workload and intended duration directly with you.
Set the profile
Subject matter, sector knowledge, seniority and working style become a concrete profile.
Select personally
We assess suitable professionals for technical and personal fit before proposing them for the mandate.
Support the engagement
A partner remains the point of contact for the organisation and the professional throughout the mandate.
Frequently asked questions
The essentials of the fractional model.
What is a Fractional Compliance Officer?
A Fractional Compliance Officer is an experienced compliance professional who takes on defined responsibilities at an agreed part-time workload. They work within your organisation and reporting lines.
Which organisations is the model suited to?
It is particularly relevant to regulated SMEs, asset managers, investment firms and fintechs with recurring compliance needs at a defined part-time workload. Responsibilities, regulation and governance determine the specific structure.
How does fractional differ from interim?
Interim usually covers a time-limited vacancy or workload peak. Fractional is designed for an ongoing, recurring requirement at a defined part-time workload.
How is a formally prescribed compliance function structured?
The specific organisation, applicable regulation, governance and licensing situation determine the structure. We assess these points before selection and record them clearly in the mandate.
How does a fractional mandate begin?
It starts with a conversation about responsibilities, accountability, reporting, workload and duration. We then define the profile and approach professionals we have vetted personally.
“We work with a curated circle of professionals we know personally. Every mandate is led by one of the two of us.”
