What is interim risk management?

Interim risk management refers to the temporary assignment of a professional to oversee and manage an organization's risk-related functions, typically during periods of transition or until a permanent hire is made. Interim risk managers assess, identify, and mitigate risks that could impact the organization, ensuring compliance with regulations and continuity of operations. They often implement or update risk management frameworks, provide guidance during critical projects, and help maintain business stability during leadership gaps. This role is essential for organizations undergoing change or facing urgent risk management needs.

  • Coordinate interim facility services (custodial, refuse, grounds, alarm maintenance) at government direction without committing the government.

QUALIFICATIONS:

Required Qualifications:

  • 12+ years leading complex, time-critical transition/cutover efforts for DoD or Combatant Commands.
  • Proven leadership in organizing, prioritizing, and executing interconnected tasks at scale.
  • Demonstrated expertise in secure facility (SCIF/SAP) transition, risk management, and cross-functional coordination.
  • Strong briefing and writing skills; ability to produce decision-ready courses of action and executive-level deliverables.
  • Must be U.S. Citizen
  • Possess active TS/SCI clearance
  • Ability to travel and lift up to 50lbs for on-site operational tasks.
