Are you an experienced IT Project Manager or interim IT leader ready for a new challenge? On Striive, you’ll find dozens of fresh vacancies every week, projects where organizations are looking for leadership at the intersection of tech and business.
Because clients post directly, you can respond fast and get matched even faster, negotiate and start with peace of mind. That means full control over your rate and scope, with most of the admin work automated.
Striive brings together freelance gigs from corporates, scale-ups, and government bodies in one real-time dashboard. Clients post directly, including rate indication, duration, and start date. No intermediaries, no hidden fees. You see what’s available and can respond right away, while the client is still actively searching. That gives you a real edge, without drawn-out negotiations or agency costs.

How Striive Matches
Once you’ve added your skills, certifications, and sector experience, our match engine scans all new IT project manager requests. If a client posts a role for someone to lead an AWS migration, you’ll get a push notification right away. If a scale-up needs an interim IT manager with ISO-27001 experience, that project jumps to the top of your dashboard. Our algorithm even picks up on tone, so it knows whether a client is looking for strong change management or a laser focus on deliverables.
Trends in 2025
The demand for hands-on IT project managers is growing fast in sectors like healthcare, manufacturing, and public services. There’s also a shortage of skills in cloud governance and software asset management. That’s why more organizations are turning to interim IT managers to lead DevOps teams, while internal managers focus on stakeholders. If you know your way around automation and compliance, you’re in high demand. Striive maps out these trends so you can plan your next certification or training proactively.
Contract and Compliance
Found a great interim IT manager role? Agree on the rate and start date, sign online, and our legal module fills in the right DBA clauses automatically. This applies to both project managers and interim managers. The contract adapts to the delivery model. You can track invoicing in real time. Once hours are approved, Striive guarantees payment through an escrow model, keeping your cash flow stable, even if the client uses a 45-day payment term.
Tips to Stand Out
Most clients create a shortlist within 48 hours. So keep your portfolio dynamic. Don’t just list what you did: show the business value you delivered. An interim IT manager who explains how they sped up audits and cut license costs scores higher than someone who only lists team size. And don’t forget a short video pitch. Striive data shows that assignments with a video are 30% more likely to lead to a conversation.
Legal Clarity
Every IT project manager knows the risks of hidden chain liability. A vague role description can later be interpreted as employment. That’s why every Striive contract includes clear deliverables and rest/vacation tables. For interim IT managers, there’s extra documentation on co-determination and defining employer authority. Striive also monitors automatic reassessments to keep you compliant if a project gets extended.
Remote or On-Site?
More and more clients are open to hybrid work. A project manager can easily do sprint reviews from home, as long as daily stand-ups are on-site. Interim IT managers are often expected to be on-site at least two days a week to stay close to the culture and leadership. Use the remote filter to see what fits. Mention your remote work preferences and time zones in your profile. Striive will only match you with roles that truly support them.
"The working method is really great, I can't say anything else. Good contact and a clear system."
“Fast contact and clear platform”.
"I have had telephone contact a few times, and it all went smoothly. Additionally, I am very satisfied with the platform and the convenience regarding reversed billing."
Ready to Go Live?
Claim your profile, upload your portfolio, and set your notifications. Check the platform daily so you don’t miss out. Often, a quick response is the difference between a first interview or second choice. Will you be the next IT project manager to complete a SAP greenfield rollout, or the interim IT manager leading a DevOps transformation? Your next assignment is already waiting on Striive.
