Scope of ownership
Company-wide leadership and board-facing work typically commands higher rates than narrow execution support.

Interim leadership, turnaround work, and fundraising moments tend to raise willingness to pay.

Remote-first work broadens the talent pool, while location-specific roles can show tighter supply.
Depth of specialization
Technical, regulated, or highly verticalized experience can push a fractional leader above the market average.
