Fractional Chief of Staff

As a CEO or Executive Director, you have a clear vision for your organization, but daily operations can distract you from what truly matters—your zone of genius.

If you’re feeling stretched thin, it’s time to consider a Chief of Staff.

Imagine having a dedicated partner who understands your vision and can transform your ideas into actionable strategies. A Chief of Staff can streamline your workflow, enhance productivity, and allow you to focus on driving growth and innovation.

Don’t let the complexities of leadership hold you back. Invest in a Chief of Staff to reclaim your time, reduce overwhelm, and empower your organization to thrive. Your big vision deserves the attention it needs to flourish.

What A Fractional Chief of Staff Offers

Cost-Effectiveness

Hiring a full-time Chief of Staff can be expensive. Our Fractional Chief of Staff services provide the same high-level support at a fraction of the cost.

Flexibility

Relumed’s Fractional Chief of Staff services can be tailored to meet your specific needs. Whether you need support for a few hours a week or a few days a month, we can design a plan that works for you.

Expertise

Marita has a strong track record of success across various sectors, including national nonprofits, service businesses, and creative startups. She brings extensive knowledge and experience to each project.

Risk Reduction

During uncertain times, utilizing fractional talent can mitigate risk while still advancing your work and goals. By leveraging specialized skills on a flexible basis, organizations can adapt quickly to changing demands without the long-term commitment of full-time hires.

What is a Chief of Staff?

A Chief of Staff is a broad role that can cover many areas of responsibility. Most importantly, a Chief of Staff is a high-level employee who supports a CEO or executive-level staff.

The skills of a Chief of Staff vary, so you should find the person who best meets your needs.

In practice, I work closely with you to determine what is needed to best support you and the organization. I may spend time in different areas at different times (e.g., when you are building out a new team, I may help coordinate) or manage several areas on an ongoing basis.

Engagements are remote and fractional (meaning that I am part of your team doing the work, not only a consultant), and I support leaders and teams from 10 to 30 hours per week.

As an experienced fractional Chief of Staff, I am ready to onboard and jump into the work quickly.

“Marita was our Fractional Chief of Staff at the Worldwide Foundation for Credit Unions during 2024 and her work with us was transformation during her consultancy. She was tasked with identifying an easy-to-use project management tool, landing with Asana to coordinate our team’s projects, deadlines and accountabilities, aiding me in being more effective in managing the foundation team while focusing on strategic priorities. During her consultancy, we were able to create our “Pyramid of Purpose”, connecting the foundation’s strategy with its daily operations. Finally, Marita brought a fresh, unbiased perspective to our team’s dynamics, culture and productivity, leaving us with a clear path forward, right tools and perspective to be successful in the future. “
