Senior leadership, defined term
Fixed-Term Executive Manager
A senior manager in the seat for exactly as long as the job needs: months, not years, with a clear mandate and a clear exit.
In short
A fixed-term executive manager is a senior leader hired for a defined period to run a function, a project or a whole business unit. We take the role with full operating responsibility, deliver against agreed targets and hand over to the team or a permanent hire when the term ends.
When a fixed-term executive makes sense
Typical situations:
- A key manager has left and the search will take months.
- A project needs senior ownership for a set period: a launch, a market entry, a reorganisation.
- The company is growing faster than its management layer.
- The board wants proof of a new direction before committing to a permanent hire.
What you get
One accountable senior operator with a written mandate, measurable targets and a fixed end date. No recruitment fee, no notice period, no severance.
An operator, not an observer
As CMO of LeoVegas we ran a EUR 120M marketing budget, generated over EUR 50M of incremental revenue in under twelve months and lifted EBITA by 18 percent, work that helped drive the MGM acquisition and an exit above EUR 607M. Leading an Italian market, we took revenue from EUR 3M to EUR 18M in under a year. Earlier we founded and grew Optimized Group, sold to Digitouch in 2016.
How we work
We agree mandate, targets and term in writing.
We take the role within one to two weeks.
