Frequently Asked Questions about the Interim Project Director
What is the difference between an Interim Project Director and an internal project manager?
An Interim Project Director brings senior experience in steering cross-functional projects across a wide variety of contexts — typically broader than that of an internal project manager focused on a single sector. Their external position allows them to mobilise teams, make difficult decisions, and manage stakeholders without being affected by internal political dynamics. At Delville Management, every profile is validated on comparable assignments before being put forward.
What fees should you budget for an Interim Project Director?
The daily rate for an Interim Project Director typically ranges from €900 to €1,600, depending on the complexity of the project, the sector, and the level of experience. For high-stakes projects (ERP, M&A, digital transformation), the most experienced profiles may exceed this range. At Delville Management, cost is always considered in light of the value delivered: a project delivered on time and on budget represents a significant return on investment.
How does Delville Management select its Interim Project Directors?
The selection focuses on the nature and complexity of projects managed in the past, the ability to lead multidisciplinary teams, and command of project management methodologies (PMI, Prince2, Agile as appropriate). The Delville Mission Director verifies references on comparable assignments and assesses the fit between the candidate's profile and the technical or organisational specifics of your project.
Can an Interim Project Director work in the regions or internationally?
Yes. Delville Management has offices across France (Paris, Lyon, Lille, Nantes, Toulouse, Strasbourg) and internationally (London, Munich, Milan). The interim project directors in the network are experienced in operating across multiple sites or in hybrid mode, with the ability to bring together geographically dispersed teams. The geographic scope of the assignment is confirmed during the scoping phase to guide selection towards the most suitable profiles.
