Interim Municipal Manager to lead your municipality forward

Our network includes 8,000 quality-assured interim leaders with experience from both rural and urban areas, covering efficiency improvements, digitalization, and LOV implementations. We only present candidates who are well-versed in municipal law, LOU, and MBL. This saves weeks of onboarding time and significantly reduces the risk of missteps.

We operate on the same principle for all our assignments: 80% of the fee goes to the consultant, and 20% to us. No upfront costs, no hidden extra services. This makes it super easy for your finance department and auditors to review the procurement and compare it to your internal costs.

From the initial needs analysis until your interim municipal manager is in place, you'll have one dedicated senior advisor from our team. We're available evenings and weekends, follow up monthly with political leadership, and can adjust the goals if conditions change during the assignment period.

An unexpected departure can quickly create a vacuum. The consultant immediately takes over the executive responsibilities, manages ongoing projects, and ensures that political decisions are implemented without interruption. The result is calm within the administrative organization and an unchanged service level for citizens.

The municipality's economy is strained by demographics, inflation, and varying government grants. An interim municipal manager reviews the operating budget, investment plans, and fees, identifies risk areas, and provides full transparency to both committees and the municipal executive committee (KSAU). This creates decision-making material that holds up in the municipal council.

As an external player, the consultant has no ties to previous political blocs. This makes it easier to mediate between the majority and opposition, set realistic timelines, and adjust to changing priorities after elections. The municipality gets a leadership that focuses on factual issues and results, not party politics.

The municipal manager needs to be able to balance schools, care services, technical administration, and business development. Our consultants have proven experience in leading cross-functional organizations with thousands of employees – and in prioritizing when resources are limited.

Citizen dialogue, press relations, and union negotiations require different approaches. The interim manager adapts the message to the audience, builds trust in both the breakroom and the council chamber, and ensures that decisions are translated into concrete actions within the operations.

Efficiency improvements and digital transformation aren't just projects – they're ongoing states. The consultant sets clear KPIs for service levels, processing times, and employee engagement, follows up weekly, and adjusts the course with short notice. When the assignment ends, processes, key figures, and tools remain to keep driving the municipality forward.
