Common questions about this service
What is fractional procurement leadership?
It is senior procurement leadership provided for an agreed portion of time, with a defined scope and working rhythm. PC5 can support strategy, governance, negotiations, supplier issues and team development without requiring a permanent executive hire.
How is fractional leadership different from advisory support?
Advisory support provides targeted guidance on specific issues. Fractional leadership is integrated with your team on an ongoing or interim basis. Embedded executive support provides deeper involvement for complex transformation or critical interim needs.
Can PC5 work with our existing procurement team?
Yes. We can support established procurement teams and coordinate with finance, operations, technology and executive stakeholders. Responsibilities, decision authority and availability are agreed at the start.
