Independent Non-Executive Director — Risk & Technology

Hong Kong SAR·Technology & Digital Platforms··Posted 26 August 2026

HKEX Main Board-listed platform business with mainland operations

The problem this seat exists to solve

The board's published skills matrix names cyber-security and data governance as gaps, and two long-serving INEDs fall out of independence during the nine-year transition period.

The remit

Bring board-level oversight of cyber-security, data governance and platform risk
Sit on the risk committee and contribute to the nomination committee's skills-matrix review
Test management's technology investment cases against the board's risk appetite
Support the transition as long-tenured INEDs are replaced

What the sponsor will not compromise on

Executive experience as a CIO, CTO or CISO of a business at meaningful scale
Prior listed-company board or board-committee exposure
Working English; Mandarin an advantage but not a requirement for this seat
Comfort with cross-border data and regulatory regimes

Terms

Engagement: Three-year term, subject to re-election, within the nine-year independence period.
Compensation: HKD 400,000 – 600,000 a year including committee fees.
Cross-border: Hong Kong applies no residency or nationality test to directors, so this seat is open to a candidate based anywhere.
Time commitment in this market: Typically 4–8 board meetings a year plus committee cycles, with more frequent ad-hoc meetings at issuers doing corporate actions.

Before you apply — Hong Kong SAR

Hong Kong applies no residency or nationality test to directors. It is, on paper, the most open board market in Asia.

Residency test: None.
Nationality test: None.
Work authorisation: A non-executive director attending board meetings does not require an employment visa. An executive or interim operating role requires a General Employment Policy visa.
Tenure limit once appointed: Nine years, introduced from 1 July 2025 with a phased transition for existing long-serving INEDs running to 2028.

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.
