A typical Interim Managers Profile
Our interim managers’ experience and background
Our interim managers have previously been successful senior executives in FTSE-100, privately owned and public sector organisations. They typically:
- have a proven track record of success across a range of organisations
- have worked across a range of sectors but tend to be deployed in the sectors they have expertise in
- have worked on a range of management disciplines including Board Director, Head of Function through to Project Management roles
- report directly to the senior management, the Board or shareholders
- have no political baggage and are exceptionally focused on delivering the agreed business goals
- thrive on new challenges and adapt to different organisational cultures to drive through changes needed.
When are interim managers used?
Interim managers are used to fulfil senior management capability gaps or when skills do not exist in-house. In addition, they are increasingly being used more strategically to:
- mentor and up-skill the existing team
- as an alternative to executive search
- to deliver major projects and programmes
- as an alternative to consultancy
- to deliver significant business change
