Interim manager sees your project through to the end
Not every need a company has is a position — often it’s a specific project with a clearly defined goal and deadline. Hiring a permanent employee for it doesn’t make sense: once the project ends, the company has to figure out what to do with them. An interim manager comes on board for the duration of the project, sees it through, and leaves.
Types of projects we handle
The five most common types of project assignments. Click to expand the details.
An interim manager for process improvement analyzes the current state of production or operations, identifies waste, and rolls out LEAN tools — 5S, value stream mapping, work standardization. The goal is a measurable increase in efficiency, not just recommendations on paper.
- Persistently low productivity with no clear cause
- Preparing production for volume growth without adding capacity
- Need for an independent outside perspective
An interim manager for change projects leads transformation that goes beyond regular leadership duties — reorganization, post-acquisition integration, rolling out a new system, or changing the business model. Holds the project together and takes responsibility for the outcome.
- Integrating two teams or companies after an acquisition
- Rolling out a new ERP or other key system
- Restructuring without internal capacity alongside regular operations
An interim relocation manager oversees moving production or operations from one location to another — planning the logistics of the move, coordinating suppliers, and minimizing production downtime.
- Moving production to a new facility or country
- Consolidating multiple operations into one
- Need for someone full-time, personally accountable for the outcome
An interim investment project manager leads the construction of a new facility, line, or plant from preparation through the permitting process to commissioning — coordinating suppliers and keeping budget and deadlines on track.
- Building a new production facility or expanding capacity
- No internal capacity to manage an investment project
- Need for someone with hands-on experience on similar projects, not just theory
An interim manager for building a sales function sets up sales strategy and process from scratch, or leads expansion into a new market — defining the target segment, building a sales team or partner network, and closing the first key contracts.
- Entering a new geographic market
- Building a sales department from scratch
- Quickly launching sales of a new product or service
Pricing is based on the ManDay model (one working day, 8 hours) and on the complexity of the project. The company only pays for days worked, with no obligations once the project ends — a one-off process-improvement project is typically done in 3–4 months, relocation or construction usually takes 6–12 months, and building a sales function in a new market delivers first results after 6–9 months.
