The problem this seat exists to solve

This CIO assignment concerns a technology recovery programme where delivery confidence must be rebuilt through evidence. The leader will determine what remains viable, which commitments need revision and how service continuity will be protected while the programme is reset.

Diagnose before recommitting

Review scope, architecture, supplier obligations, testing, data readiness and business ownership. Distinguish incomplete work from defective assumptions. Establish an honest baseline of cost, schedule and remaining risk, including the burden of keeping existing services running.

Executive recovery actions

Rebuild governance around decision points and demonstrable acceptance criteria. Resolve disputed responsibilities, renegotiate delivery sequencing where necessary and ensure business leaders own readiness. Introduce transparent reporting of defects, dependencies and unresolved decisions. Escalate material changes in the investment case rather than disguising them as routine replanning.

The programme reset should separate work already paid for from work that still contributes to the desired outcome. Review whether the current solution, contract and delivery model remain viable before committing to a revised date. The CIO should establish acceptance criteria that business owners can test and suppliers can be held to. Reporting should distinguish completed activity from usable capability, while making the cost of further delay and the implications of stopping or narrowing the programme explicit to decision-makers.

Qualified candidates

Candidates should have recovered a significant technology programme in a regulated or critical-service environment. They need operational IT leadership, supplier negotiation and the confidence to recommend a pause, reduction in scope or alternative route when justified. Experience limited to programme reporting is insufficient.

What a credible exit looks like

The organisation should inherit a supportable delivery plan, functioning controls and evidence that live-service risk is being managed. Candidates should discuss a recovery where they changed the original solution rather than simply accelerating it. Availability and any relationships with delivery providers must be assessed before the interim mandate starts.

Appointment: Interim executive

Before you apply — this is an executive role

An interim seat needs work authorisation. A board seat in Ireland 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 Ireland: A non-executive director attending board meetings does not require an employment permit. Executive roles for non-EEA nationals require one.
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.

The director will bring independent banking judgement to the oversight of credit risk, ensuring that portfolio ambitions are consistent with underwriting capability, capital capacity and the institution's ability to recognise deterioration.
