Interim VP Marketing with a quick start

Spot-on matching

We start with a needs analysis, looking at your goals, channels, team size, and culture. Then, we search our network of over 8,000 consultants and present 3–4 candidates within 3-5 business days. All of them have documented 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. No setup fees and no hidden costs. You see the full cost breakdown upfront, and you don't pay anything if we don't find the right candidate.

Personal contact and long-term value

An advisor will guide you from the first call until the assignment is complete. We ensure active knowledge transfer throughout the process. If the collaboration works well, the consultant can transition to a permanent position without any hassle.

Why hire us?

When companies grow fast, leadership needs can change overnight. An interim manager is a flexible solution that ensures operations continue to run smoothly, no matter the challenges.

What a VP Marketing excels at

Accelerated brand growth

The leader quickly analyzes the current situation and sets a go-to-market plan with clear priorities for brand, leads, and channels. Targeted campaigns boost awareness and demand within weeks.

Data-driven efficiency

With experience in HubSpot, GA4, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, and more, KPIs are set, reports are automated, and investments are continuously optimized. Management and the board gain higher transparency and better ROI.

Support for expansion and change

During internationalization, M&A, or reorganization, the consultant leads the team, scales processes, and maintains momentum in the pipeline and campaigns. Continuity is preserved while new ways of working are introduced smoothly.

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.

1. Assignment Description & Goals

We carefully listen to your expectations, goals, and current situation. A role description or job advertisement can be used as a basis, and we'll also conduct a structured interview with the client.

2. Candidate Search within Our Network

Around 20 suitable candidates are selected and contacted. We then conduct interviews with the relevant and available consultants we find, based on the assignment description.

3. Quality Assurance

The best 3-4 candidates are presented to the client within 1-3 days. We then have a check-in with the client to plan the selection and next steps.

4. Interview with Client – Background Check

The client conducts their interviews, any internal tests, and a final senior-level interview. References are taken if needed, and a background check can be performed on the final candidate.

5. Contract

An agreement outlining the length and scope of the assignment is drafted, always with transparent pricing so both the client and consultant know how the fee is distributed. We always pay 80% of the fee to the consultant. If the client is not satisfied, the contract can be terminated with a maximum of one month's notice.

6. Assignment Commences

During the assignment, we keep in regular contact with both the client and the consultant to catch any questions or feedback needed for a successful collaboration.

7. Wrap-up – potential employment

The assignment wraps up as per the agreement, or if the goal was employment and both parties are on board, it turns into a recruitment. The recruitment fee gets lower the longer the assignment has been going on.
