Interim Staffing Solutions
Experienced leadership when continuity matters most

Interim Staffing Solutions

Purple Sheep provides experienced, steady leadership for institutions navigating vacancies, transitions, or periods of operational strain.


We offer interim support that goes beyond coverage. We stabilize systems, support teams, and ensure continuity—so institutions can move forward with confidence.

Who This Is For

The Challenges We Address

The Challenges We Address

This service is designed for institutions experiencing:

  • Leadership or key role vacancies 
  • Extended searches or delayed hiring 
  • Organizational restructuring 
  • System implementations (ERP, financial, research systems) 
  • Growth without sufficient internal capacity
  •  

If continuity, credibility, and calm leadership matter right now, this work is for you.

The Challenges We Address

The Challenges We Address

The Challenges We Address

Institutions seek Interim Staffing Solutions when they face:

  • Sudden or prolonged leadership gaps 
  • Staff burnout or morale strain during vacancies 
  • Risk to compliance, reporting, or operations 
  • Loss of institutional knowledge during transitions 
  • Pressure to “keep things moving” without clear leadership
     

These moments require more than coverage—they require experienced judgment.

Our Strategic Approach

The Challenges We Address

What Interim Support May Include

Purple Sheep Consulting provides interim support grounded in:

  • Leadership – experienced, senior-level presence 
  • Stability – maintaining continuity without disruption 
  • Systems thinking – strengthening processes while covering roles 
  • Transition planning – preparing teams for what comes next
     

We support institutions without creating dependency—and we plan for a thoughtful handoff from the start.

What Interim Support May Include

Each engagement is scoped intentionally, but may include:

  • Interim research administration leadership 
  • Pre- or post-award operational oversight 
  • Research financial services leadership 
  • Compliance and reporting continuity 
  • Workflow stabilization during vacancies 
  • Transition planning and knowledge transfer
     

The goal is not just to fill a role—but to leave the function stronger.

  • Stronger systems post-engagement

Our Distinction

What Interim Support May Include

Outcomes Institutions Experience

What sets this work apart:

  • Senior-level research administration expertise 
  • Experience across diverse institutional environments 
  • Calm, credible leadership during uncertainty 
  • Collaborative engagement with internal teams 
  • Focus on sustainability, not stopgaps
     

We aim to inspire, not compete—and to support institutions through change with integrity.

Let’s Talk Strategy

Periods of transition require experienced leadership, steady judgment, and discretion. When continuity matters—and the stakes are high—interim support should strengthen systems, support teams, and protect momentum, not simply fill a role.


Purple Sheep Consulting provides senior-level interim leadership designed to stabilize operations, guide teams through change, and prepare institutions for what comes next.


If your institution is navigating a transition and needs experienced interim leadership, we invite you to reach out directly.
