Anyone doing interim management roles?

Despite what a contract might say or working practises, an interim role feels like being inside.
I know a job title isn’t something that necessarily means a lot, but the nature of being an interim manager suggests that you are a stop gap between one permie leaving and before they can find another. I personally would not fancy trying to argue that my role is different to theirs if it is truly interim.
And if it is actually different I’d not want the word ‘inteim’ used anywhere.See You Next TuesdayComment

The thing that struck me about the OP's original post is I wouldn't expect someone in such a position to post something like this if you get my meaning. If you are in such a lofty position to be directing and entire clients IT policy I wouldn't expect them to be posting for other peoples opinions on a bulletin board.
Some good points raised by posters above. My situation (IMO) is maybe slightly different. When I do leadership roles, it's normally around some sort of restructuring or turnaround. I have specific deliverables in my contract which is IR35 reviewed by QDOS. In my current role, I am one of several divisonal heads of IT around the world that report to the global CIO. I have pretty much been told I have autonomy to do almost anything I want so I'm confident on MOO, SDC and substitution. I'm also not a Board Director or a formal Office Holder.
In addition, there are specific things I am not allowed to do that permanent staff who work in my team do, such as formally approve the budget, raise purchase orders and approve invoices etc.
For appraisals, a permanent member of staff is doing them but I have some input. And so on.
For a previous gig, I had to build an entire new team and help recruit my replacement; again my contract had specific deliverables for this. As soon as I had built the team and a replacement hire was in the pipeline, I was out of the door.
Who's to say IR35 reform in the budget will make it much more likely I be classed as inside IR35 in future? I have the small comfort that if that is the case, there will be more scope to increase my day rate to compensate as the sort of positions I fill are less likely to be filled by a consultancy etc.
A lot of organisations are looking to interims now for short term gigs but it is a niche hence why day rates can be so high. I know plenty of people who do the same as me, not one AFAIK has been classed inside IR35.Comment
