Fractional CIO / CTO Associate
Join the Alchemy Associate Network
This isn't a single fixed vacancy. I'm building a trusted bench of senior fractional and interim specialists I can call on as client engagements require, matched flexibly to what each engagement actually needs rather than a fixed job description.
About Alchemy
Alchemy is a fractional collective in the early stages of a deliberate build. The ambition is direct: take on established incumbents like Freeman Clarke and beat them at their own game, with a leaner, sharper model built for how senior fractional work should actually operate. And a laser focus on areas of emerging tech; in particular, agentic AI.
The results are already showing: Alchemy already ranks prominently across all major search engines and LLMs for "Fractional CIO London," ahead of established names in the space.
The business is early stage but growing and compounding well. Right now the priority isn't volume, it's making the right connections, so that when capacity genuinely becomes the constraint, the right people are already in place rather than being found under pressure.
If this sounds like You
Roles I'm looking to add to the network:
- Enterprise Architect
- Solution Architect
- Programme Director
- Transformation Lead
- Head of Data and AI
- Interim CISO
- GRC Lead
- Fractional CPO
- Interim Product Director
- AI Product Manager
- Interim Head of Digital
What I look for:
- Genuine, hands-on delivery experience at senior level, not just advisory
- Comfort operating in regulated or high-stakes environments (financial services, critical national infrastructure, public sector)
- A track record that client references can back up
- Availability for flexible, engagement-based work rather than full-time employment
How it Works
When a client engagement calls for capability beyond what I deliver personally, I introduce or assemble a small delivery team from this network, matched to that engagement. Work is day-rate and engagement-based, varying in length and time commitment.
If this sounds like your kind of work, get in touch with a short note on your background and the kind of engagements you're best suited to.
