About the Role

We are seeking a Fractional Head of People to advise on and manage the transition of senior contractors to permanent status and the establishment of a Senior Leadership Team. This role requires practical, hands-on experience in negotiating individual compensation and title changes, and developing performance and promotion frameworks for a contractor-heavy workforce.

  • Advise on the target composition of the workforce, balancing flexibility with stability and institutional knowledge.
  • Lead negotiations on role titles and compensation for contractors transitioning to permanent status.
  • Design and advise on a performance management approach for both permanent and contractor staff, focusing on SOW ownership and output for contractors.
  • Advise on job titles and promotion criteria for the initial cohort of permanent hires, ensuring fairness and clear progression paths.

Requirements

  • Experience working in or with professional services or consultancy environments.
  • Understanding of HR in a consultancy context, including billable utilization, project-based teams, and client outcome-based value measurement.
  • Ability to differentiate legal requirements from operational preferences and provide pragmatic advice.
  • Experience managing a contractor-heavy delivery model, including understanding IR35 implications.
  • Direct experience negotiating individual compensation and title changes with contractors.
  • Experience designing or advising on career progression criteria, particularly in professional services or consultancy settings.
