The UK Part-Time CPO Market
The part-time CPO model (also known as fractional CPO) has become increasingly popular as companies recognise they can access senior product leadership without the full-time cost. This creates opportunities for experienced product professionals to build portfolio careers.
Unlike interim CPO roles which are full-time for a fixed period, part-time CPO positions offer ongoing engagement typically 1-3 days per week. Many fractional CPOs work with multiple clients simultaneously.
Who Hires Part-Time CPOs?
- Startups - Companies building their first products
- Scale-ups - Fast-growing companies expanding product lines
- SMEs - Companies needing strategic product leadership
- PE portfolio companies - Businesses needing product transformation
- Non-tech companies - Organisations building digital products

FAQ
Common Questions About Part-Time CPO Jobs UK
A part-time CPO (also called fractional CPO) is a Chief Product Officer who works with companies 1-3 days per week on an ongoing basis. This model provides senior product leadership without the full-time commitment or cost.
Part-time CPO day rates in the UK typically range from £900-£1,300 per day. For a 2-day per week engagement, annual costs are £90,000-£130,000 - significantly less than a full-time CPO package.
Most part-time CPO roles involve 1-3 days per week, with 2 days being most common for product strategy work. Many CPOs work with multiple clients to build a portfolio career.
The terms are often used interchangeably. 'Part-time CPO' emphasizes the reduced hours, while 'fractional CPO' emphasizes the shared/portfolio nature. Both refer to senior product leaders working less than full-time.
Startups, scale-ups, SMEs, and PE portfolio companies commonly hire part-time CPOs. They get experienced product leadership at a fraction of full-time cost - ideal for companies building their product function.
