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, alongside relentless pressure to ship product and scale. You need technology leadership that keeps delivery moving and a security posture that stands up to scrutiny, from one accountable person.

  • Setting technology strategy and an architecture that scales, without stalling delivery
  • Standing up a credible security and risk function the FCA and PRA will recognise
  • Operational resilience: important business services, impact tolerances, and the evidence to prove them
  • Building and hiring an engineering team that ships within change-management and audit expectations

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 and CISO, shaping the architecture and roadmap in the morning and speaking to a regulator in the afternoon, building product velocity and the controls, evidence and resilience story together.
