FAQ
Common Questions About Advisory CRO Jobs UK
An advisory CRO is a senior revenue professional who provides strategic revenue leadership guidance on a consultative basis. Unlike interim CROs who take on full operational responsibility, advisory CROs offer high-level counsel on specific challenges such as revenue strategy, go-to-market planning, sales team development, or revenue operations. They typically work fewer hours but bring deep expertise to critical revenue decisions.
Advisory CRO day rates in the UK typically range from £650-£950 per day, depending on experience, sector expertise, and complexity of the engagement. Specialist areas like SaaS revenue optimisation or enterprise sales strategy can command rates of £950-£1,200/day. Advisory roles often involve fewer days per month than interim roles, making them cost-effective for specific strategic needs.
Advisory CRO engagements are typically structured around specific deliverables or time allocations (e.g., 2-4 days per month). The advisory CRO might review revenue strategy, attend board meetings, mentor sales leaders, assess go-to-market approach, or provide guidance on revenue operations. Engagements can be ongoing retainers or project-based.
Advisory CROs focus on the entire revenue engine including sales, customer success, and revenue operations, while advisory CMOs focus on marketing and demand generation. CROs typically own revenue targets and sales teams; CMOs own brand and pipeline generation. Many organisations benefit from both perspectives.
Most advisory CROs have 15+ years of revenue experience including prior CRO, VP Sales, or Revenue Director roles. Essential qualifications include experience with revenue strategy, sales methodology, revenue operations, and board-level communication. Many have sector-specific expertise in SaaS, B2B enterprise, or specific verticals.
The highest demand for advisory CROs comes from: SaaS and technology companies (revenue growth, GTM strategy), PE-backed companies (revenue acceleration), scale-ups expanding to new markets, and established businesses transforming their sales approach.
Advisory CRO roles often fall outside IR35 due to their consultative nature, lack of day-to-day operational control, and project-based scope. However, each engagement must be assessed individually. Key factors include: no substitution restrictions, working for multiple clients, providing genuine advice rather than filling a role. Always obtain a status determination statement (SDS).
Advisory CRO hiring focuses on expertise fit and chemistry. The process typically includes: initial discussion with CEO/board about revenue challenges, assessment of relevant experience and track record, discussion of working relationship dynamics, and agreement on scope and deliverables. Decisions are often made within 2-3 weeks.
Yes, advisory CRO relationships often expand. Many advisory engagements lead to: increased scope (from advisory to fractional), board positions (revenue oversight), equity opportunities in portfolio companies, and referrals. The advisory model is excellent for building a portfolio of revenue leadership relationships.
Focus on: revenue growth achievements (ARR growth, quota attainment), GTM strategies implemented, team building and scaling experience, board-level communication skills, and sector expertise. Highlight your advisory approach and how you complement existing teams rather than replacing them.
