WHY CHOOSE INTERIM SEARCH?
Hire an Interim CPO
We are the bridge between companies that need to quickly secure purchasing leadership and optimize their purchasing processes, and Sweden's sharpest Interim CPOs. Appointing a CPO is crucial for managing purchasing costs, securing deliveries and building strong supplier relationships, and often urgent. Thanks to our specialized network in purchasing, supply chain and strategic sourcing, the right system support and proactive search, we are the given partner when you need an Interim CPO quickly - and it must be just right.
Urgency Meets Accuracy: The Right Solution, Fast.
We are available 24/7, 365 days a year.
Situations where an interim sales manager makes a difference
The need for an Interim CPO often arises when immediate action is required to strengthen the purchasing function and realize savings. We are experts in quickly installing the right skills to lead and develop your purchasing organization when you are faced with:
- Unexpected vacancy:When your regular CPO, Head of Purchasing or key member of the purchasing team leaves at short notice and the continuity and strategic work of the purchasing function needs to be ensured.
- Transformation & change: When restructuring the purchasing organization, implementing a new sourcing strategy, introducing an e-procurement system or developing category management that requires dedicated and experienced purchasing leadership.
- Cost optimization & efficiency improvement: When there is an urgent need to reduce purchasing costs, consolidate the supplier base, improve negotiation results or streamline the entire procure-to-pay process.
- Specific projects: During large tenders and contract negotiations, supplier development and supply chain risk management projects, implementation of sustainability requirements in purchasing, or when needed to lead a purchasing team towards tough savings targets.
- Turnaround situations: When the procurement function is underperforming, supplier relationships are strained, or when an experienced leader is required to quickly identify and implement actions to improve procurement performance and secure supply.
