Interim Change Manager

 Ensures that critical projects are successfully completed

When an organization enters a new phase—whether it involves new systems, a new structure, or new ownership—every week of delay can show up on the bottom line. An interim change leader, project manager, or PMO director immediately takes charge, establishes governance, and drives the change through with strict time, cost, and quality control. The consultant owns the delivery, not just the advice, and leaves behind processes that continue to function once the project is complete.

Hire the right interim consultant with our proven process

Candidates who are a good fit for the role

The needs assessment identifies the target profile, stakeholders, and milestones. We search our network of approximately 8,000 specialists and present 3–4 candidates within five business days. All candidates are pre-screened for methodology, industry experience, and references, so interviews can focus on cultural fit and chemistry.

No hidden costs

You can see the total daily fee and how 80% goes to the consultant and 20% to us. No upfront fees, no index surcharges, and no success fee in the event of a hire. Budget decisions become easier, and the relationship starts on a foundation of trust.

Knowledge that stays within the team

The same consultant manages the project from requirements definition through to go-live. We monitor KPIs, provide support as needed, and ensure that governance models, templates, and risk registers are fully integrated into day-to-day operations. Afterward, the role may transition into a permanent position without the need for a new recruitment process.

Why choose us?

When companies grow rapidly, leadership needs can change overnight. An interim manager is a flexible solution that ensures operations continue to run smoothly, regardless of the challenges.

Benefits of an interim change leader

Structured project and portfolio management

The change leader establishes a steering committee, workflows, and clear decision points. A visual roadmap, risk matrix, and weekly reports ensure transparency regarding the project’s status for management, IT, HR, and external partners. Slowdowns are identified early on, and corrective actions are taken before the schedule falls behind.

Rapid risk mitigation and regulatory compliance

Prosci, ISO, GDPR, and ESG are used to identify gaps, prioritize actions, and assign responsibilities. A sign-off checklist, versioned policy documents, and test protocols minimize arbitrariness and ensure compliance during audits.

Accelerated value realization

Business value is demonstrated on an ongoing basis through sprint deliveries, pilot groups, and train-the-trainer sessions. Users adopt features quickly, and KPIs such as time to benefit, adoption rate, and processing time are tracked weekly to demonstrate impact.

The recruitment process

Our recruitment process is fast, streamlined, and tailored to your needs. We ensure you find the right candidate quickly through a clear job description and an efficient screening process.

1. Scope of Work & Objectives

We listen carefully to your expectations, goals, and current situation. A job description or job posting can serve as a basis, and we conduct a structured interview with the client.

2. Search for candidates in the network

We select and contact approximately 20 suitable candidates. We conduct interviews with the relevant and available consultants we identify, based on the job description.

3. Quality Assurance

The top 3–4 candidates are presented to the client within 1–3 days. A follow-up meeting with the client is held to finalize the selection and plan the next steps.

4. Customer Interview – Background Check

The client conducts interviews, any tests they may require, and interviews with the candidate’s grandparents. References are checked as needed, and a background check may be conducted on the final candidate.

5. Contract

We draw up a contract specifying the duration and scope of the assignment, always with a transparent pricing structure so that both the client and the consultant know how the fee is allocated. We always pay 80% of the fee to the consultant. If the client is dissatisfied, the contract can be terminated with a maximum of one month’s notice.

6. Assignments are carried out

Throughout the project, we maintain regular contact with both the client and the consultant to address any questions or gather feedback necessary for a successful collaboration.

7. Conclusion – Potential Employment

The assignment is concluded as specified in the agreement; however, if the assignment was intended to lead to employment and both parties agree, it will result in a hiring. The recruitment fee decreases the longer the assignment has lasted.

Features that ensure implementation

Holistic analytical and methodological expertise

The consultant assesses the current situation, cost and revenue drivers, technology, and organizational culture all at a glance. Work breakdown structure, critical path analysis, and business case monitoring provide a shared factual basis for decision-making.

Communicative Leadership and Stakeholder Management

Messages and updates are tailored to the board, executive team, teams, and labor unions. Workshops, FAQ hubs, and open Q&A sessions build trust and reduce resistance.

Decisiveness and Adaptive Action

Changes in the external environment or internal priorities are addressed without delay. Plans B and C are already outlined and are activated when specific criteria are met. This ensures that the project maintains momentum even when conditions change.
