Fractional CAIO (Chief AI Officer)

HatchWorks AI’s Fractional CAIO (Chief AI Officer) offering provides executive AI leadership on a part-time basis, functioning as an embedded head of AI product and strategy. The fractional CAIO sets AI strategy, prioritizes investments, aligns the executive team, and establishes governance for AI initiatives before handing over or staying on as execution expands. Work includes defining the AI product roadmap, overseeing builds and experiments, and ensuring AI systems are implemented responsibly and tied to business value. Success looks like a coherent AI strategy, a prioritized and actively managed roadmap, clear governance around AI risks, and shipped AI products or features that meet defined business and technical goals. The seat is explicitly fractional and operates as a consulting/executive advisory engagement.
