Non-Executive Director — Outsourced Technology Accountability

Ireland·Public-Interest & Regulated Services·Public-service technology· Dublin·Posted 21 July 2026

Applications close 18 November 2026

Public-service technology organisation in Ireland

The problem this seat exists to solve

This seat brings independent challenge to technology outsourcing arrangements that support essential service delivery. The director should examine whether management retains the information and capability needed to govern the service, intervene during failure and make credible future sourcing choices.

Responsibilities at board level

Review material sourcing decisions, concentration exposure and the relationship between contractual performance and actual service outcomes. Ask whether responsibilities at supplier interfaces are clear and whether management can obtain independent evidence when reports conflict.

An apparently well-performing contract may still leave the organisation unable to diagnose a service failure or recover its data. The director should challenge those dependencies before they become urgent negotiations.

Required professional judgement

Qualified candidates should bring senior technology, sourcing or service-governance experience and credible board-level financial judgement. They need to understand the commercial incentives of providers and the capabilities a client must retain. Experience managing or overseeing a difficult supplier transition will be particularly relevant.

Scrutiny of a major renewal

Require a comparison of renewal, renegotiation and transition that includes the cost of internal capability, data movement and temporary coexistence. Examine whether an attractive price transfers risk into change charges or weakens the organisation's ability to leave. Ask what evidence supports the proposed service levels and how performance failures will affect operating decisions.

Oversight without parallel management

The director helps the board decide what risks to accept and what assurance it needs. Executives remain responsible for contract management and incident response. Where a supplier relationship raises a conflict for the appointee, it must be disclosed and handled through the actual governance framework.

Evidence of contribution

Candidates should discuss a situation in which contractual compliance did not amount to a reliable service. Effective board participation will improve sourcing decisions, expose concentration and make the retained management responsibilities explicit. It should not create an informal channel through which a director personally directs suppliers outside agreed authority.

Terms

Where the board sits: Dublin, Ireland
Applications close: 18 November 2026
Appointment: Board appointment
Compensation: EUR 60,000–100,000 per year (indicative annual board fee)
Time commitment in this market: Fund boards typically meet quarterly; a regulated bank or insurance board meets far more often and the Central Bank tests whether the director has the time.

Before you apply — Ireland

No nationality test applies. An EEA residency test applies to the company, which can be satisfied by a bond — but for a regulated firm the real gate is Central Bank pre-approval of you personally.

Residency test: At least one EEA-resident director, or a €25,000 s.137 bond, or a s.140 certificate. It binds the company, not the appointee.
Nationality test: None.
Work authorisation: A non-executive director attending board meetings does not require an employment permit. Executive roles for non-EEA nationals require one.
Tenure limit once appointed: Nine years is the Central Bank's expectation for independent non-executive directors of credit institutions and insurers; beyond it, independence must be justified.

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.
