Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a Fractional UX Team?

A fractional UX team is a ready-to-go group of experienced UX and Product professionals who work part-time or on-demand. They bring full-stack expertise without the cost or delay of hiring full-time staff.

2. When should I hire a fractional UX or product team?

Fractional teams are ideal during product discovery, market expansion, early-stage funding, maternity leave coverage, or while building your in-house team. They allow you to move fast without compromising on expertise.

3. What roles are included in a UX team from The UX Team?

Our fractional UX teams typically include a Head of UX, Product Designer, Product Manager, and User Researcher. You can also request additional specialists depending on your product stage or industry.

4. Can you place UX and product teams in fintech or regulated industries?

Yes. We specialise in UX for fintech, insurtech, AI, and other regulated markets. Our teams understand compliance, behavioural patterns, and trust-building UX in financial products.

5. How fast can a fractional UX team start working?

Teams can start in as little as 3 to 5 business days. We only place professionals who are immediately available and have worked together before.

6. What is the typical engagement model?

We offer engagements from 1 to 3 days per week, on a quarterly basis. You get high-quality, embedded teams without the complexity of long-term hiring.

7. Do you offer UX audits or one-off product discovery sprints?

Yes. We offer standalone UX audits (ideal before fundraising) and short discovery sprints to define or reposition your product strategy.

8. Can I mix and match team members based on my needs?

Absolutely. You can start with a single Fractional UX Director or a Product Designer, then scale into a full UX team as needed. Flexibility is our strength.

9. What makes The UX Team different from other UX staffing agencies?

We’re not a staffing agency — we’re fractional leaders placing cohesive, vetted teams that work as one. We prioritise speed, seniority, and strategic alignment with your industry.

10. Do you support global teams and remote work?

Yes. Our teams are remote-first, timezone-aware, and experienced in async collaboration across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
