Leadership Services Clients

A part-time Data Director from Leadership Services starts from £1,795 per month. This compares to a full-time Data Director or CDO salary which typically ranges from £80,000 to £160,000 per year in the UK, plus on-costs, benefits, and recruitment fees. Our model gives you senior data leadership at a fraction of the total cost, with no long-term commitments.

A Data Director manages the data strategy, analytics, and data governance functions of a business. A Chief Data Officer (CDO) is a more senior, board-level role overseeing the entire data ecosystem and AI strategy across an organisation. In practice for SMEs, the roles overlap significantly. Leadership Services provides fractional Data Directors who operate at both strategic and tactical levels, giving you CDO-quality expertise without the full-time cost.

Absolutely. Our part-time Data Directors are designed to complement your existing team, not replace it. They work alongside your data analysts, IT team, and senior leadership to provide data strategy, governance, and analytics direction from day one. Whether you have an established data team that needs stronger leadership, or you’re building your data capability from scratch, our Data Directors integrate quickly and deliver results effectively.
