Full data leadership. Fractional commitment.
The deepest engagement. A fractional Head of Data who attends your leadership meetings, owns the data roadmap, and helps you hire an internal replacement when you are ready.
Head of Data responsibilities, fractional delivery.
Pro replaces a full-time Head of Data for companies that need one but cannot yet afford or justify the permanent hire. Typical commitment is 2-3 days per week.
Data leadership in the room
Your leadership meetings have someone in the data seat. Strategy calls, board prep, investor updates. Data is represented by someone who actually owns it.
Roadmap and priorities
12-month data roadmap you can defend to your board. Quarterly reprioritisation. Clear view of what ships when, and what it costs.
Hiring and team design
When the time comes to hire internally, we design the role, write the job spec, run technical interviews, and plan the handover. You hire the right person, once.
Board-ready every time
Data is ready for every board meeting. Metrics defined and defensible. Commentary prepared. Your CFO does not assemble the data slide on Sunday night.
You need a Head of Data. You are not ready to commit full-time.
Pro fits companies at the stage where data complexity has outgrown ad-hoc solutions but where a €150-200k all-in permanent hire is still premature or hard to recruit for.
- You have multiple business units or product lines with competing data needs
- Your board is asking questions the current team cannot answer quickly
- You tried hiring a Head of Data but struggled to find the right candidate, or need to prove the role before committing
- You are pre-IPO, pre-exit, or in active M&A and need data leadership that holds up under scrutiny
Senior engagement, senior ownership.
Pro engagements are the closest DataSkye gets to being embedded in your team. We commit to the rhythms, the accountability, and the outcomes of an internal hire.
Embed and assess
We join your leadership rhythms, review current state, document the gaps. You get a 12-month roadmap with budget and ROI projections by end of month.
Build and own
Execute the roadmap. Attend leadership and board meetings. Make decisions in the data seat. Report progress monthly, measurable against the roadmap.
Hand over
When you are ready to hire internally, we help you find and onboard the replacement. Not before. Not as a rushed exit. Clean handover with documented everything.
