What is really an internal \u201cstar signing\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>\n      A <strong>star signing<\/strong> This is a senior profile joining the team with the expectation of transforming strategy, professionalizing key areas, and accelerating growth. These are typically director positions in...\n      <em>marketing\/growth<\/em>, <em>strategy<\/em> o <em>digital transformation<\/em>, with experience in multinationals or scaleups and the ability to lead complex projects from start to finish.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n      In theory, it contributes <strong>full-time<\/strong>, <strong>cultural alignment<\/strong> and <strong>long-term vision<\/strong>. In practice, if the company lacks processes, data, and a support team, the senior profile ends up being absorbed by the <strong>tactical operations<\/strong> (campaigns, reports, day-to-day emergencies) and their strategic impact is diluted.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n      Before deciding, it&#039;s a good idea to look at the <strong>actual company cost<\/strong>, not just the gross salary. With our standard ranges: a gross of <strong>50.000 \u20ac<\/strong> This represents an approximate total cost of <strong>\u20ac68,600\u201371,600<\/strong> per year; a gross of\n      <strong>65.000 \u20ac<\/strong> It is located in <strong>\u20ac88,280\u201391,280<\/strong>. These figures include business quotes and associated expenses (equipment, licenses, training, space), and are the starting point for evaluating the expected return.\n    <\/p>\n<div aria-label=\"Practical example\" class=\"rr-example\" role=\"note\">\n<strong>Practical example.<\/strong> A tech SME hires a senior marketing director from a multinational. Upon arrival, she discovers fundamental shortcomings: no operational CRM, no reliable metrics, and a small team. Her time is spent resolving tactical tasks and putting out fires.
