Fractional RoleFree template

Deliverables

{number} days per week of embedded work, on the agreed days, covering the responsibilities listed in this scope
Ownership of the {function} roadmap: priorities proposed monthly and agreed with {named sponsor}
Attendance at up to {number} recurring meetings per week (leadership, team standup, and planning)
Monthly written summary of progress, decisions taken, and risks for the leadership team

Revision limits

Deliverables produced within the role (plans, reports, documents) include one round of consolidated feedback each. The role's responsibility list is reviewed monthly; changes to responsibilities, reporting lines, or day commitment are contract amendments, not informal adjustments.

Out of scope

Work on days outside the agreed schedule, or evening and weekend availability
Responsibilities beyond the agreed function (adjacent departments “borrowing” capacity)
Line management of staff beyond the agreed team
Hands-on production work the role is meant to direct, not execute (e.g. running campaigns rather than overseeing them)
Recruitment beyond participating in interviews for agreed roles
Representing the company externally beyond agreed forums (press, investor meetings)
Being the emergency contact for operational incidents outside working days

Communication protocol

Available on agreed days during working hours via the client's channels; messages on other days answered the next working day. Requests that expand the role's responsibilities go to {named sponsor} and are confirmed in writing before being taken on.

Placeholders in {curly braces} should be replaced with your specific project details.
