Interim Assignments, Contracts & Project Work

Interim Assignments

Drawing upon extensive experience gained with large enterprises and smaller organisations in the technology and mobile sector in Marketing, Products and Sales, Declare can provide at very short notice, senior interim resources to assist clients during periods of change, transformation and stop-gap management.  Interim assignments typically last between 3 to 6 months, but can be much longer depending upon the nature of the assignment.

Client Value of Interim Assignments

The client value of interim assignments is the provision of senior, knowledgeable and experienced resource at short notice able to add value to the business straightaway, be 100% focused on the assignment and to hand over a fully performing department, initiative or project to a permanent employee in the future.

To fully deliver successful interim assignments requires wide ranging experience and deep skills gained from working successfully with companies who may have had similar hurdles or challenges to overcome. Taking the interim approach can very quick turn around what may feel like a very deep problem into a far-reaching opportunity for change and development in a very short period of time. Further value can also be added by transferring skills and best practice to existing members of the client organisation.

From an expense perspective, clients benefit from no social employee costs, holiday costs and much shorter agreed notice periods as the assignment draws to a successful close. In many cases the interim resource assists the client in identifying and selecting the incoming employee and adds further value in performing a structured and in-depth handover and where necessary providing on-going support if appropriate or required for a period of time.

Typical interim assignments have included:

• CMO & VP Marketing
• Head of Product Marketing
• Territory Marketing
• Strategic Marketing
• Sales Operations
• Sales Enablement
• Communications and PR Management
• European Marketing & Sales Start-Up
