Fractional Head of GTM for Healthcare
When a healthcare startup should use fractional GTM leadership to clarify the wedge, prove the motion, and decide what full-time role to hire.
Operating framework
- Start with a 30/60/90-day proof agenda, not an open-ended advisory scope.
- Define the wedge, operating cadence, and commercial artifact set.
- Clarify what must be learned before hiring a permanent leader.
- End with a scale, pause, redesign, or hire decision.
Metrics that matter
- 90-day proof gates
- Qualified pipeline quality
- Handoff readiness
- Hiring decision clarity
Red flags
- The fractional role has no decision deadline.
- The work becomes deck creation instead of operating cadence.
- The company cannot say what full-time role it will hire afterward.
CEO/CFO questions
- What must be proven in the next 90 days?
- Which GTM motion is most likely to repeat?
- What should the next permanent commercial hire own?
