What does a fractional field marketing director do?

A fractional field marketing director does the same job as a full-time one, at a fraction of the week — typically one to three days — for companies that need the capability but not the headcount. Directors work well fractionally because the highest-value part of the role — the decisions and the operating structure — is concentrated rather than continuous. One to two days a week is a common arrangement.
