Interim IT Management

Leadership on demand – when speed matters.

When your IT manager is missing or things escalate, leadership needs to be immediate. I take responsibility, stabilize teams, make decisions — and keep your operation running.

When Interim IT Management Makes Sense

Temporary IT leadership

Your IT manager is out, resigned, or on leave? I ensure a seamless transition – no leadership vacuum, no productivity loss.

Stabilizing teams & structures

Teams need direction. I provide clarity, create structures, and make sure everyone knows where things are heading.

Managing vendors & projects

Project running off the rails? Vendors not delivering? I bring structure and accountability back.

Establishing resilient processes

IT needs to be repositioned? I develop the IT strategy with you and guide the first steps of implementation.

Preparing a clean handover

In the end, I'm not the focus. Documentation, onboarding the successor, sustainable structures.

My understanding of interim leadership

Interim leadership means leading, fixing, clarifying — and handing over cleanly.

Why an Interim Manager?

The search for a new IT manager often takes 6-12 months. A company can’t wait that long – especially when critical projects are pending or the team needs leadership.

An interim IT manager brings:

Immediate availability: No months-long recruiting process
Experience from various contexts: Fresh perspectives, proven methods
Focus on results: Clear goals, clear timelines
Objectivity: No internal entanglements, no political baggage
Knowledge transfer: I leave, but the know-how stays

Framework Conditions

Typical mandate duration: 3-12 months, depending on the task

Availability: Full-time or part-time, depending on needs (typical: 3-5 days/week)

Location: On-site, hybrid, or remote – depending on company culture and requirements

Every interim mandate is different. Let’s discuss in a non-binding conversation whether and how I can help you.

Is this right for your company?

Interim IT management fits companies that...

Need IT leadership quickly but don't have time for lengthy recruiting processes
Need to bridge a vacancy without leaving the team leaderless
Face a major IT change and want to bring in external experience
Need to get a stuck IT project back on track
Want to professionalize their IT department and prepare it for the future

Typical Course of an Interim Mandate

Quick Assessment In the first days, I get an overview: team, projects, stakeholders, open issues. Honest and unvarnished.
Stabilization Acute problems are addressed immediately. The team gets orientation, stakeholders get transparency.
Roadmap Together with you, I develop a realistic plan for the mandate period. Clear goals, measurable results.
Execution I work operationally – project management, team leadership, stakeholder management. Hands-on, not just strategy.
Handover & Knowledge Transfer In the end, I'm not the focus. Documentation, onboarding the successor, sustainable structures.
