Interim IT manager with leadership-team experience
When the IT manager role needs covering during a transition, we step in and keep momentum in infrastructure, security, compliance and digitalization, until a permanent solution is in place.
When an interim IT manager is needed
The need can often be seen coming: an IT manager who is leaving, a recruitment that has just started, a parental leave, or a change journey that needs to be led. An interim IT manager keeps the decisions and the pace going through the transition.
- An IT manager who has resigned and leaves within a few months
- A recruitment that has just started and needs bridging
- A parental leave or leave of absence that needs covering
- A larger transformation, cloud migration or security project that needs to be led
- A gap on the leadership team where IT and digitalization lose momentum
- A need to raise IT maturity ahead of NIS2, GDPR or the Cyber Resilience Act
What we take responsibility for
We take on the role fully, not as an analyst on the side.
How an engagement works
First call
We go through the situation, the scope of the role and the timeframe, and give a fixed quote.
Planned start
We agree on a start date well in advance, get to know the business and take over responsibility according to a clear plan.
Ongoing leadership
We run the IT work, report to management and keep momentum in ongoing projects and security.
Handover
We document, hand over to the permanent manager and stay available as support during a ramp-up period.
Scope and setup
- Part time or full time, from a few months to just over a year
- On site in Gävleborg and Stockholm; elsewhere in Sweden by agreement, mostly remote
- Start by agreement. Best planned well in advance rather than for an acute gap
- Fixed monthly or hourly rate after an initial call. No lock-in beyond the engagement
Where we take engagements
We are based in Hudiksvall and work on site in Gävleborg and Stockholm and remotely across the rest of the country. Two pages with more to read:

Common questions about interim IT managers
What does an interim IT manager cost?
It depends on scope and time: part time or full time, the length of the engagement and how much operational responsibility the role carries. We give a fixed quote after an initial call.
When can you start?
We take engagements with a planned start and agree on a date well in advance. Expect a few months' notice rather than a next-week intervention. Get in touch as early as possible in the process.
Do you work on site or remotely?
We work on site in Gävleborg and Stockholm and remotely across the rest of Sweden. Most engagements become a combination, a few days on site, the rest remote.
How is an interim IT manager different from a regular IT consultant?
An interim IT manager takes line responsibility: budget, staff, decisions and reporting to management. A consultant solves a defined task. We do the former.
Can you sit on the leadership team?
Yes. We can join as IT expertise on the leadership team, with or without operational management responsibility, and make sure IT and digitalization get the right place in decisions.
What happens when the engagement ends?
We document continuously, help recruit the successor and carry out a structured handover, with the option to stay available as support during ramp-up.
