With the pharmaceutical industry’s current business environment, many executives will face a job transition in 2008. Along with pursuing new permanent positions, executives throughout the entire life sciences discovery to commercialization continuum can take advantage of an alternative employment concept: interim executive assignments.
Interim executives are highly experienced executives and managers who are immediately available to address a company’s urgent business needs within a clearly defined time frame.
Benefits of serving as an interim executive include:
- Flexibility and Variety. Interim assignments offer the flexibility of varying work assignments and time commitments. The variety of challenges keeps skills sharp and business contacts fresh.
- Fresh challenges. Interim assignments often present diverse problems that challenge executive candidates. Interim executives have the opportunity to apply their skills and make a significant contribution to an organization.
- Avoiding company politics. Interim employees can work above the fray of company politics. They can speak objectively and focus solely on the work.
- Excellent pay. For the short burst of the interim assignment, the daily pay is generally better than the scale for permanent workers.
Ashton Tweed has pioneered a way to give companies access to the best talent as soon as they need it by creating the first Executive Talent Bank dedicated to servicing the Life Sciences Industry. Members of our Executive Talent Bank are Life Sciences executives available for interim assignments.
If you are an experienced Life Sciences executive and exploring interim executive assignments appeals to you, we invite you to join the Executive Talent Bank by sending your resume to info@ashtontweed.com.
We will review your resume and contact you if and when a position matching your skill set becomes available.
