Interim Quality Manager to drive quality initiatives
Quality is more than just an ISO certificate – it's a competitive advantage that boosts customer loyalty, margins, and brand trust. When your Quality Manager leaves on short notice, a new product family is about to launch, or an audit is approaching, you need leadership that delivers from day one. An interim Quality Manager immediately takes charge of the quality management system, deviation handling, and customer requirements. With experience from complex manufacturing, food, or medtech, they'll analyze process capability in the first week, create a risk-based action plan, and ensure you meet both internal and external requirements even before the next audit.

“I'm really proud of our strong network of interim consultants – we respond quickly, accurately, and with clear, transparent pricing.”
Quick and accurate matching.
Ready-to-start Quality Managers, no detours
After a quick chat about your needs, we map out standards like ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 13485, BRC, and GMP, along with any current deviations. We filter through about 8,000 quality-assured interim consultants and present 3 to 4 candidates within five business days. All of them meet technical requirements, fit your culture, and have a proven track record in audit-critical environments.
No hidden fees later on
Our cost structure is clear. 80% of the fee goes to the consultant, and 20% to us. No startup fee, no hidden surcharges, and no lock-in period if priorities change. You'll see the total price and a preliminary 90-day plan before you decide.
Knowledge that stays with your business
Your advisor follows the assignment from the requirement profile to the handover. During the assignment, documented routines, digital deviation logs, and KPI boards are established, which remain with your organization. If the collaboration works out, the consultant can transition to a permanent position at no extra cost.

Over 150 successfully completed assignments
Fewer errors and less waste
Audit readiness and regulatory compliance
The interim manager performs a gap analysis against current standards, closes open deviations, and leads preparations for third-party audits. With structured risk assessments and traceable document control, the risk of non-conformities and costly re-audits is minimized.
Reduced quality costs
Through systematic root-cause analysis and data-driven process capability monitoring, scrap, rework, and field returns are reduced. Costs for poor quality drop, while product availability and customer satisfaction rise.
Embedded improvement culture
Employees are trained in 8D, FMEA, and statistical process control, and daily management is complemented with visual KPI boards. Engagement increases, improvement suggestions pour in, and quality work becomes an integrated part of daily life, not a separate function.
The recruitment process
Our recruitment process is quick, smooth, and tailored to your needs. We make sure you get the right candidate fast, thanks to a clear requirement profile and efficient selection.
What does an experienced interim Quality Manager bring to the table?
Holistic system expertise
The leader needs to master the entire PDCA cycle – from policy to internal audit – and be able to translate customer and regulatory requirements into practical instructions that work on the shop floor.
Communicative leadership at all levels
Quality builds bridges between operators, development, purchasing, and customers. A successful quality manager can talk just as easily with auditors as with shift teams and can drive change without needing a top-down mandate.
Decisiveness and adaptive action
When deviations threaten the delivery schedule, you need quick, fact-based decisions and clear prioritization between cost, risk, and customer promises. The interim manager handles incident reports, customer complaints, and change requests with the same methodical calm.
