Chile

Interim Management in Chile has evolved beyond simple vacancy coverage. It is now a strategic tool used by foreign investors to secure local subsidiaries, drive operational turnaround in the mining sector, and professionalize family-owned conglomerates.

Why Hire an Interim Manager in Chile?

The demand for executive interim leaders in Santiago and the industrial regions (Antofagasta, Concepción) is driven by three distinct factors:

1. The Resource Boom (Copper & Lithium):As the world’s leading copper producer and a lithium giant, Chile faces massive pressure on operational efficiency. Interim Project Directors and Site Managers are frequently hired to turn around underperforming mines or manage sensitive environmental compliance (ESG) issues in the Atacama region.
2. The "Headquarters vs. Subsidiary" Gap:Many multinational corporations struggle to align their Chilean entities with global reporting standards. An Interim Country Manager or CFO acts as a "cultural bridge," ensuring that the local entity speaks the language of the global HQ while effectively managing local teams and unions.
3. Green Hydrogen & Renewables: Chile is positioning itself as a world leader in Green Hydrogen. This nascent sector requires agile Program Managers capable of launching greenfield projects where no internal roadmap exists.
