Why Hire a Fractional Director of Operations

A director of operations sits between the C-suite and the front line. They translate strategy into execution. Most companies between $2M and $30M need this role but cannot justify a $150K-$250K full-time salary plus benefits.

A fractional director of operations solves this by providing the same operational leadership on a part-time basis. Kamyar Shah works 10-20 hours per week through World Consulting Group, focusing on the highest-use operational activities: system design, process management, team development, and performance tracking.

The fractional model works especially well for this role because the director of operations function is about building infrastructure, not maintaining it day to day. Once the systems are built and your team is trained, the fractional director of operations steps back.
