Independent Director — Minority Slate

Italy·Banking & Financial Services··Posted 5 August 2026

FTSE MIB-listed banking group

The problem this seat exists to solve

The institutional-investor slate is being assembled ahead of the board's renewal. Article 147-ter of the TUF guarantees at least one seat to the minority list, and the slate needs a candidate with prudential regulatory standing rather than a name known to the controlling shareholders.

The remit

Serve as the minority-slate director with the independence that position implies
Sit on the risk committee of a supervised banking group
Provide challenge on capital, credit and conduct independent of the controlling holders
Contribute to the board's Corporate Governance Code independence assessment

What the sponsor will not compromise on

Prudential regulatory experience at a supervised bank or insurer in any EU market
Independence under both the TUF criteria and the 2020 Corporate Governance Code
Availability to be placed on a slate before the statutory filing deadline
Working Italian strongly preferred; board documentation is in Italian

Terms

Engagement: Three-year board term, renewable subject to the nine-year independence assessment.
Compensation: €80,000 – €110,000 a year including risk-committee fee.
Cross-border: No nationality test applies. The binding constraint is the slate-filing timetable, which falls well before the general meeting and excludes more candidates than the merits ever do.
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.
