The problem this seat exists to solve
This programme director will prepare new healthcare services for operation. The focus is the interdependence of people, equipment, facilities, supplies, systems and referral arrangements, with clinical requirements defined by the appropriate clinical leaders.
Readiness responsibilities
Build an integrated plan from the intended service scope. Identify critical dependencies, acceptance criteria and unresolved decisions. Align recruitment, training, procurement and support functions so that individual workstreams do not report completion while the end-to-end service remains unusable.
Test the service before launch
Coordinate workflow walkthroughs and operational rehearsals. Examine what happens when a key resource is unavailable, demand exceeds the expected level or a handoff fails. Record findings and ensure corrective actions are verified before recommending readiness.
Readiness testing should include the interfaces between a new service and existing hospital functions, not only the new unit itself. Examine referral acceptance, scheduling, records, supplies, escalation and support outside normal hours. The programme director should ensure each unresolved issue has an owner and a clear effect on the launch decision. Where a phased opening is proposed, define the operational boundaries and the evidence needed to expand scope. This prevents a limited launch from quietly becoming a full service before the required capabilities are in place.
Candidate qualifications
Candidates should have led healthcare operational-readiness programmes, service launches or major expansions. They need strong programme discipline and practical understanding of hospital operations. Experience negotiating readiness decisions with clinical, technical and executive stakeholders is essential.
Decision and transition outputs
The programme should produce a clear readiness recommendation, any proposed limits on initial service scope and an early-operation support plan. Required approvals and professional conditions must be confirmed by competent local specialists. Candidates should explain a case where several completed workstreams still did not amount to a ready service, and how they resolved the gap without relying on optimistic launch assumptions.

Before you apply — this is an executive role
An interim mandate needs work authorisation. A board seat in Morocco 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 Morocco
- A non-resident director attending board meetings requires no permit. Executive and resident roles require a work contract endorsed by the labour authorities.
