A Fractional Quality Manager is a highly experienced quality professional who supports your organization part-time, contract basis. Unlike hiring a full-time employee, this flexible model allows companies to access expert-level guidance without long-term commitments or overhead costs. These professionals often embed into your team to lead audits, support certification, improve systems, and act as Management Representative—scaling their workload to fit each company.

Fractional Quality Management goes beyond project-based consulting. While other quality consultants may complete a single task or audit, a fractional manager acts as an ongoing leader—proactively driving continuous improvement, ensuring certification readiness, and responding to day-to-day quality needs.

We are the only organization in the industry solely focused on this model—delivering scalable, part-time Quality Managers who act as a true extension of your team. Most others who claim to offer this are solo consultants juggling multiple roles. We bring structure, depth, and bench strength with a dedicated focus on high-impact, fractional support. That makes us the go-to experts for organizations seeking consistency, continuity, and results.

Small to mid-sized companies—especially those that support regulated industries like automotive, medical device, aerospace, or pharma—see the most benefit. They often face a tough choice: assign quality responsibilities to less experienced staff or stretch their budget to hire an expert they can’t afford, and don’t need on a full-time basis. Both options carry risk. We solve this by giving you expert leadership at a fraction of the cost. You get the right level of support, when you need it, without overburdening your team or breaking your budget.

Yes. Many clients choose a Fractional Quality Manager to serve as their Management Representative for standards that require it (e.g. ISO 13485 and AS9100). This role has the ultimate responsibly for the responsibility and oversight of the QMS. Typical duties include leading Management Reviews, responding to audit findings, and communicating with certification bodies. It’s a cost-effective way to meet formal requirements with experienced leadership. Other standards such as ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 have eliminated the Management Representative role by name but the same core function can still be outsourced.

Our team supports ISO 9001, ISO 13485, AS9100, ISO 14001, and related standards, especially for highly regulated industries like medical devices, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, and advanced manufacturing. We tailor support to your specific sector, ensuring industry-relevant guidance and compliance.

We offer predictable monthly retainers based on the support level and hours needed. This might range from a light-touch advisory role to embedded hands on role with weekly responsibilities.

Absolutely. We supported clients before, during, and after ISO, regulatory, and customer audits. We can host audits, help your staff prepare, respond to audit findings, and implement CAPAs effectively. We focus on practical, timely responses that protect your business.

Most clients are matched and begin services within a few weeks. Our onboarding includes an initial discovery call, contract setup, and a tailored kickoff plan. We prioritize rapid deployment so you can start seeing value quickly—especially if audits or urgent needs are approaching.

Our approach blends deep industry experience with a flexible, embedded model. We don’t just hand over a report—we become part of your team. Our staff are former quality leaders, auditors, and regulatory experts with proven track records. You get consistent, proactive support with hands-on execution, not just advice.
