FREEYOURSUNDAY

FRACTIONAL CTO · CPO · COO — EMBEDDED TEAMS

Leadership you call up.
Not headcount you carry.

FreeYourSunday embeds senior technology, product and operations leadership inside growing companies, with the engineering teams to execute — so the business doesn’t depend on one person always being reachable.

// 01 — DIAGNOSTIC

One person is carrying the whole system.

Somewhere between the first hire and the fiftieth, most companies end up with one person holding the technical judgement the whole business runs on — every architecture call, every product trade-off, every operational fire routed through one head.

It works, for a while. Then it stops scaling, and it stops resting.

STATUS: SINGLE POINT OF FAILURE

// 02 — MODULES

What plugs in.

MODULE 01

Fractional CTO

Technical strategy, architecture decisions, engineering leadership — and building the team that eventually replaces the need for us.

MODULE 02

Fractional CPO

Product direction, roadmap discipline, and the harder job of saying no to the wrong things.

MODULE 03

Fractional COO

The operating rhythm — process, delivery, the parts of running a company that never show up in a pitch deck.

MODULE 04

Embedded team

Not a resource pool. A team that sits inside yours, ships in your codebase, and hands over documentation and context when the engagement ends.

MODULE 05

Delivery & transformation

End-to-end ownership of a defined initiative, such as a platform migration, a product launch or a new way of running delivery. Scoped up front, run to a finish line, and handed back working, with your people able to run it.

Modules are staffed individually or together. Most engagements start with one and grow into two.

// 03 — HOW WE WORK

How we actually work.

There’s no fixed engagement template. Work starts as a conversation and gets shaped to what’s actually needed, drawing on experience across wearables, early-stage startups and SMEs needing fractional technical leadership. We’re based in Leeds and work with companies across the UK and Ireland, on site or remotely.

  • ENGAGEMENT

    Every engagement starts as a conversation and is shaped from there — there’s no standard package to opt into.

  • COMMERCIAL

    Priced as a day rate or a retainer, whichever fits the client.

  • CADENCE

    Embedded time, weekly calls, async availability, ad hoc advice — whatever cadence the work actually needs.

  • DELIVERY

    Sometimes we recommend and implement. Sometimes we advise like a consultant and the client’s own team builds it.

  • PORTFOLIO

    Judgement and pattern-matching carried over from other clients and industries — not just the blind spots built up inside one company.

  • CLOSE

    Most engagements reach a natural end point, often a handover at the close of a defined project. Some continue as long-term retainers.

// 04 — THE GOAL

“The best engagement ends with the business no longer depending on any one person to understand how it works. That includes us.”
