Fractional CIO — UK
A CIO on your leadership team, without the full-time hire.
Nyxa provides fractional CIO leadership to UK mid-market firms: an experienced technology leader, one or two days a week, owning the agenda, the suppliers and the delivery — accountable like an executive, engaged like a partner.
What the role covers
The seat, not just the advice.
A fractional CIO takes the seat at the leadership table and owns the internal technology agenda — the same accountability as a permanent CIO, sized to what your business needs.
The technology agenda
Systems, operations, suppliers and service — owned end to end, so the business runs on infrastructure it can trust.
Delivery and programmes
Grip on the programmes that matter, with clear scope, governance and board reporting until they land.
Vendors and spend
Contracts, licences and supplier relationships managed commercially, with savings that can be banked within the year.
Board reporting
Technology risk, investment and progress explained in the language of the board — so decisions are made with confidence.
How the engagement works
A monthly retainer, with a built-in exit.
One or two days a week
A seat on the leadership team, owning the roadmap, vendors, delivery and board reporting. Six-month minimum, then rolling monthly — enough continuity to make a genuine difference.
Designed to hand over
The engagement builds capability in your team as it goes, with a built-in exit — including help hiring a permanent leader when the time is right.
Fees are fixed and sized to your firm’s revenue band, confirmed in writing before any work begins.

A CIO/CTO gap, or a major programme in flight.
