Interim IT Manager
- a cheaper alternative to retaining a management consultancy
- a flexible alternative to hiring on a permanent basis
SME Computing can provide an Interim IT Manager to successfully deliver assignments in the demanding environment of change. Opting for an Interim IT Manager will drive core business objectives and relieve pressured management teams.
When to recruit our Interim IT Manager
With a typical contract length of six months (flexible to suit your needs) our Interim Management service is often called on for one of two reasons; Project/Programme Management or Gap Management.
Project/Programme Management
- You are planning to undertake a strategic or tactical project and are broadly clear on what needs to be achieved but your organisation does not possess the relevant knowledge and proven skills to deliver.
- Our experience ranges from tactical project management to full business transformation activities. We lead programmes to create or extend IT service portfolios, manage outsourcing agreements, mergers and acquisition integration, facilitate and lead organisational restructuring or implement new systems or infrastructure technology.
Gap Management
- You have a need for an IT Manager which may have been created by a variety of different circumstances - promotion, secondment, restructure, resignation, peaks of activity, maternity leave or health related. The bottom line is, you do not have the in-house resource capable of undertaking the role and progress must not be lost.
- Our Interim It Manager will fulfill the brief to recover, accelerate or maintain momentum, and for the exact period required. Our Interim IT Manager can also help to hire the replacement and mentor or coach the team
The Benefits of using our Interim IT Manager
- We can start when it suits you - with zero recruitment fees and few termination formalities.
- Highly cost effective – As the cost is negotiated as a whole project based on deliverables it is a far cheaper alternative to the average Management Consultancy Day Rate.
- Keeps permanent head count at the right level – Reduces long term, recurring cost.
- We are a people focused company with good technical skills – SME Computing has experience of working with a variety of organisations, in a number of sectors with many different cultures. Your Interim IT Manager will fit in straight away and get the job done.
- Have sensitivity to your company’s ethos but not constrained by its policies or personalities.
- Will not be distracted by company politics and will be focused on completing objectives with sensitivity, tact and diplomacy.
- Can complete sensitive, critical or confidential objectives with discretion.
- Will transfer skills, contacts and experience to your team, which will remain long after we have left.
