Fractional head of responsible business
Senior responsible business leadership
Some organisations do not need a full time hire. They need senior responsible business leadership, one day a week, with a clear sprint plan and weekly outputs that move the organisation forward.
This is an interim style role delivered by Responsible Business, structured around a 90 day delivery sprint. It focuses on governance, risk, evidence, and operational improvements that reduce friction and build credibility with clients, investors, and staff.
How it works
One day per week, with a simple rhythm
• A short leadership touchpoint to confirm priorities
• Delivery work that produces tangible outputs every week
• A written update that decision makers can skim in minutes
Weekly outputs
• One page leadership note, decisions made, actions agreed
• Live risk and controls log updated weekly, with clear ownership
• Evidence file progress, what exists, what is missing, who supplies it
• One operational improvement shipped each week, for example a supplier pack, governance template, reporting structure, or client response pack
What success looks like by day 90
• A responsible business direction that leadership can use in decisions
• A risk management and internal control approach that is credible and reviewable
• A 6 to 12 month roadmap with owners, timelines, and a realistic cadence
• A practical evidence file that makes reporting and due diligence faster
Why this stands up at board level
The UK Corporate Governance Code places clear expectations on board oversight of risk, internal controls, and review of effectiveness. This sprint turns those expectations into a working operating system, scaled to your organisation.
