What this is
A commercial or digital leadership seat, filled properly, for three to twelve months. Not advising the team. Running it, carrying the number, and making the decisions the role owns.
What usually brings people here
A leader has left, the search will take months, and the team is drifting. Or the role is new and nobody yet knows what good looks like in it.
What I do
I hold the seat, keep the commercial rhythm going, fix what is obviously broken, and hand over to your permanent hire with the ground prepared rather than the mess redistributed.
