Non-Executive Director — Service Performance and Customer Accountability

The problem this seat exists to solve

Candidates need senior service, utility, operations or board experience, with evidence of using performance information to improve accountability. They should be able to interpret data and listen critically to qualitative evidence. Experience engaging stakeholders is useful when it supports sound governance rather than substituting visibility for results.

Hear what the performance measures may conceal

The director will help a utility or environmental-service board assess the quality and reliability of service from the user's perspective. The remit connects operating measures, complaints and management response so that the board can identify persistent problems rather than rely on an overall average. It requires sensitivity to public-interest responsibilities and a practical understanding of service operations.

Scrutinise the evidence

Review how interruptions, response times, unresolved requests and complaints are recorded. Ask whether definitions are consistent and whether some users or locations experience materially different outcomes. The board should understand where information is incomplete and what management is doing to improve it.

From a complaint to an operating decision

Examine the link between customer concerns and operating decisions. A complaint process is valuable only if recurring causes inform service improvement. The director should challenge repeated explanations that attribute problems to unusual events without examining whether the organisation has adapted to their recurrence.

Review management's priorities, resources and measures for service improvement. Ask whether proposed actions address causes or only reduce the visibility of complaints. Consider the trade-offs between response speed, cost and lasting repair, and require those choices to be made explicitly.

Accountability through the board

The appointment is a director seat, with collective responsibilities and any agreed committee work. It does not confer authority to manage individual complaints or direct field operations. Separate statutory assurance or oversight functions retain their own responsibilities.

Success means a clearer account of service quality, better-informed investment and timely attention to persistent failures. Candidates must disclose relationships that could affect independent judgement. The board will expect them to represent the organisation's responsibilities as a whole, avoiding both uncritical defence of management and promises to stakeholders that the director has no authority or evidence to make.

Terms

Where the board sits: Rome, Italy
Applications close: 14 November 2026
Appointment: Board appointment
Compensation: EUR 40,000–75,000 per year (indicative annual board fee)
Time commitment in this market: Typically 8–12 board meetings a year plus committees; Italian boards meet more often than the European average.

Before you apply — Italy

No nationality or residency test applies to an Italian director. The route in that matters is procedural rather than legal: a place on a slate.

Residency test: None.
Nationality test: None.
Work authorisation: A non-executive director attending board meetings does not require a permit. Executive roles for non-EU nationals do, and are subject to the immigration decree quotas.
Tenure limit once appointed: No hard statutory cap. The 2020 Corporate Governance Code treats service exceeding nine years in the previous twelve as a circumstance that compromises independence, requiring the board to assess and disclose.

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.
