When to hire a Fractional Director of Learning and Development
You do not need a full-time hire to know you have a learning and development problem. These are the signals that a fractional or interim Director of Learning and Development can solve right now.
Rapid headcount growth is outpacing onboarding
You are scaling fast and new hires are ramping slowly, inconsistently, or not at all. A Director of Learning and Development builds the onboarding infrastructure that turns new employees into productive contributors faster.
No structured L&D strategy exists
Training is ad hoc, owned by no one, and driven by whoever has bandwidth. You need an operator who can audit what exists, identify gaps, and build a coherent learning strategy aligned to business goals.
Manager and leadership capability gaps are hurting retention
