The problem this seat exists to solve

Applicants should have led a business through significant commercial or operating difficulty with direct cash and profit responsibility. They must explain a case where customer recovery and financial recovery initially appeared to conflict, and how they reached a defensible decision. Calm communication and the ability to work from imperfect information are essential.

Diagnose cash and customer performance as connected problems

The interim chief executive will take responsibility for a business whose customer performance and cash generation need coordinated recovery. The mandate requires addressing service commitments, revenue quality and working-capital decisions as one operating problem. It is a general-management appointment with direct accountability for people, customers and the approved financial plan.

Review the path from customer commitment to delivery, acceptance, billing and collection. Identify disputed work, weak scope control and commitments that consume capacity without an adequate return. Distinguish temporary collection delays from a proposition or delivery model that consistently produces poor cash economics.

Executive choices for a sustainable commercial recovery

Agree priorities with the governing body and implement a focused plan. Resolve material service issues, improve ownership of customer commitments and restore reliable forecasting. Where commercial terms or service scope need to change, ensure decisions are supported by evidence and approved through the appropriate authority.

Lead the management team through trade-offs between retaining business, protecting cash and maintaining delivery capability. Avoid actions that improve immediate liquidity by creating an unmanageable future obligation or damaging relationships essential to recovery. Qualified advisers should address any legal or financial matters requiring specialist judgement.

The business should retain clearer commercial boundaries, dependable delivery ownership and a credible cash plan. Success means improved conversion of properly earned revenue into cash and fewer recurring disputes or unsupported commitments.

Employment changes, material contracts and reserved financing decisions remain subject to authorised approval. The interim chief executive must prepare those choices promptly and implement the agreed action. Handover should include the evidence behind the recovery outlook, remaining vulnerabilities and a management team capable of maintaining discipline without the interim executive personally intervening in each difficult customer or cash decision.

Before you apply — this is an executive role

An interim seat needs work authorisation. A board seat in the United Kingdom usually does not.

This is the single most common way a cross-border interim engagement falls apart after it has been agreed. The visa-free position that applies to a non-executive director attending board meetings does not extend to an executive or operating role.

Position in the United Kingdom: A non-executive director attending board meetings does not require a work visa; permitted business activities cover it. An executive or interim operating role requires a Skilled Worker visa or equivalent.
On this brief

How interim seats work across borders

How this works

Every seat here is applied for by a certified director.

That is the whole difference. A sponsor reading applications from this Exchange knows the pool has been tested — which is why the briefs are real and why an application gets read. Five steps, and the first three are free.

1
Register — free
Read every brief, every regime map and both tools. Nothing is hidden behind the paywall and nothing ever has been. You can apply straight away — one application a fortnight.
2
Sit the assessment — free, about 30 minutes
15 judgement questions on statutory duty, your functional depth and cross-border practice. Sitting it costs nothing and you see your band and a gap report either way — so you learn something about your own standing whether or not you go further.
3
Pass, and you are certified — free, for 12 months
There is no fee to certify. A certified member applies to board, interim and advisory seats, one application a week. That alone is more than most directors act on in a quarter.
4
Then, if you want the rate — Foresight InfinityUS$250 a month
Your application is collated, verified against your profile and carried to the sponsor every week instead of waiting out the seat’s priority period — and we search for you rather than waiting for you to look. Foresight Infinity Plus, US$500 a month, is carried first, the moment it is matched, with a document written for that seat and your score attached.
Monthly only — there is no annual term on either. One payment a month; nothing renews on its own.
5
Your certificate and your membership are not the same thing
The certificate runs 12 months. A membership renews every month. If you stop paying you do not go back to the beginning — you keep the certificate you earned and return to one application a week until it expires.

Management reporting must show unresolved exposure honestly rather than relying on the disappearance of old items from a spreadsheet.
