Fractional CTO for Financial services

Senior technology leadership on a fraction of a full-time hire — strategy, architecture, and a team that ships.

Why it matters in financial services

Money, sensitive data, and a regulator that expects evidence. Trust is the product, and operational resilience is now a board-level obligation — not an IT line item.

  • Standing up a credible security and risk function that the FCA and PRA will recognise
  • Operational resilience: identifying important business services and proving you can stay within impact tolerances
  • Shipping product fast without tripping over change-management and audit expectations
  • Third-party and cloud concentration risk across a growing supplier estate

What you get

  • Technology strategy and a costed, sequenced roadmap tied to business goals
  • Architecture and platform decisions, with the trade-offs written down
  • Engineering leadership: hiring, structure, delivery cadence, and standards
  • Vendor, cloud, and AI tooling selection — and the contracts to match
  • A board- and investor-ready narrative for what you're building and why

How we work in financial services

We act as the accountable CTO or CISO who can speak to a regulator and an engineer in the same afternoon — building the controls, the evidence, and the resilience story without grinding delivery to a halt.
