From time to time organisations find themselves without senior leaders in specific roles. Vacancies can arise through a number of reasons – recruitment gaps, maternity leave, change management processes. In any of these situations, Counterculture’s experience in the sector enables it to provide interim senior management to our clients in a variety of situations on a contract designed to suit the individual organisation’s needs.
We typically provide interim management to cover Chief Executive, Director, Finance Director or Manager positions, but have the resources and experience to meet other senior management requirements as the situation demands:
- Chief Executive / Director service: our practical experience of leading and managing organisations at a senior level enables us to fill that vacancy and support the client until the post is filled or until the postholder returns to work. Our philosophy is simple – we agree a period of cover, identify the key tasks and projects that need to be completed in that period of time, and propose a working pattern and relationship to ensure the plan is successfully delivered.
- Finance Director / Manager service: our extensive experience as finance professionals places us in an excellent position to provide an interim Finance Director or Finance Manager support to orgaanisations. Our service enables you to agree a period of support in which we would take over the senior finance role and ensure that your finance team continues to function on a day-to-day basis, whilst also bringing the benefits of our wide experience of working in the sector to bear.
- Other senior management roles: the wide range of professional and practical experience within Counterculture also enables us to provide interim cover across a variety of other senior roles including Human Resources Director, Director of Development, Chief Operating Officer, Head of Operations, Head of Exhibitions/Chief Curator, Artistic Director, Membership Services Director and Company Secretary/Head of Governance.
