The criteria influencing the TJM of a transition manager

The TJM of a freelance transition manager varies according to 5 different criteria

  1. The geographical location of the transition manager : the cost of accommodation for an intervenant and their remuneration will be higher in large cities than in a province. 
  2. The profile and level of experience of the manager : a transition manager with multiple experiences within large groups will have more arguments to justify a high TJM than a junior intervenant.
  3. The nature and stakes of the mission : exercising under a social mandate, IRP presidency, or delegation of signatures can increase the cost of remuneration.
  4. The duration of the mission : generally, the mission lasts between 6 and 18 months. The longer it lasts, the higher the price.
  5. The size of the company : an intervenant exercising within the headquarters of a large international group will be given more responsibilities than a director of a small team, which affects their fees.

Estimating the TJM of transition managers

The tariff range in transition management

In France, several specialized media and reference cabinets have based their calculations on recent studies to set a range for the TJM barometer of transition managers.

According to their calculations, the average daily rate oscillates between 500 € for a junior intervenant and up to 1 500€ for an experienced manager. According to these cabinets, the average daily remuneration of interventions approaches 900 €. This variation in tariffs is explained by increased competition between transition managers and the economic constraints of companies.

Evaluating the salary of a transition manager

To obtain an approximate estimate of the salary of a transition manager, you can base yourself on the 3 metrics following : 

  1. Evaluate the TJM from a gross annual salary : you start from a known reference and can better take into account expenses such as salary portage management or periods of interruption and thus exclude them from the TJM.
  2. Evaluate directly the target rate to characterize the different levels of fees : count between 500 € and 600 € for a specialized technician or expert in a field whose mission is of local importance. For a senior executive of a small structure or a department manager of a large structure, the remuneration oscillates between 700 € and 900 €. The stake here is on the company or unit. For a senior executive exercising under a social mandate whose stake is on a strategic sector or the entire company, the rate often exceeds 1 000€.
  3. Base yourself on the rates practiced on the market : the TJM in transition management varies according to the level of competition, the economic situation, the locations, and the missions. Consult the associations of managers or the consulting firms in transition management for a reliable estimate.
