Interim Vice President of Marketing with an immediate start

Accurate matching

We start with a needs assessment of your goals, channels, team size, and culture. We then search our network of over 8,000 consultants and present 3–4 candidates within 3–5 business days. All candidates have proven experience in B2B/B2C growth, martech, and modern demand generation.

Transparent pricing model

80 percent of the fee goes to the consultant and 20 percent to us. There are no upfront fees and no hidden costs. You’ll see the full cost breakdown in advance, and you won’t pay anything if we don’t find the right candidate.

Personal contact and long-term value

An advisor will support you from the initial consultation through to the completion of the assignment. We ensure active knowledge transfer throughout the process. If the collaboration goes well, the consultant can transition into a permanent position without any hassle.

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.

What a VP of Marketing is good at

Accelerated brand growth

The leader conducts a quick assessment of the current situation and develops a go-to-market plan with clear priorities for the brand, leads, and channels. Targeted campaigns boost awareness and demand within weeks.

Data-Driven Efficiency

With experience in HubSpot, GA4, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, and other platforms, we set KPIs, automate reports, and continuously optimize investments. Management and the board gain greater transparency and a better ROI.

Support for expansion and change

During international expansion, M&A, or reorganization, the consultant leads the team, streamlines processes, and maintains momentum in the pipeline and campaigns. Continuity is maintained while new working methods are introduced without disruption.

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.

What does an experienced Interim VP of Marketing bring to the table?
