Using a Part-Time Director

part-time director

Part-time Directors are not new. But demand in recent years for expertise across different functions has grown. Many highly experienced and qualified Directors now choose to work as a part-time director, lending their expertise and skillset to CEOs who lack senior leadership in their teams, but don’t have the requirements or budget to hire someone full-time.

At Leadership Services, we can supply:

What Type of Business Needs a Part-Time Director?

From our experience working with clients across different sectors, we’ve found that there are typically four types of companies that need a part-time Director:

  1. Companies that are growing, and want the benefits and expertise of a full-time Director without the costs.
  2. Companies undergoing significant changes that require additional Director-level resources.
  3. Companies that are looking to hire full-time, but need to hire a part-time Director on an interim basis to manage the transition – and in some cases, lead the hiring process of the full-time Director.
  4. Companies delivering a large-scale and complex project that requires senior leadership, experience and expertise to deliver on time and to budget.

What Can a Part-Time Director Offer?

Our Directors are each boast a history of leading successful business transformations. Their expertise isn’t confined to theory; it’s proven in the real-world success stories they’ve been a part of.

At Leadership Services, we set a high bar for our Directors, insisting on a minimum of 10 years of experience coupled with a verified track record of success.
