Supervisory Board Member — Technology & Cyber Risk
Netherlands·Banking & Financial Services·Payments & Financial Technology·Posted 26 August 2026
Euronext Amsterdam-listed payments business
The problem this seat exists to solve
A supervisory board member reaches the twelve-year ceiling under the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, and the board's gender composition means the replacement must maintain the statutory one-third balance — an appointment that fails it is void.
The remit
- Provide supervisory oversight of technology resilience, cyber risk and operational continuity
- Serve on the risk committee of a regulated payments business
- Contribute to the supervisory board's assessment of the management board
- Support the board's DORA and operational-resilience obligations
What the sponsor will not compromise on
- Senior technology or information-security leadership at a regulated financial institution
- Experience of a two-tier or one-tier European board
- Independence under best practice 2.1.8 of the Dutch Code
- English is the working language of the board
Terms
- Engagement
- Four-year term, renewable within the twelve-year maximum.
- Compensation
- EUR 70,000 – 95,000 a year including committee fee.
- Cross-border
- No residency or nationality test applies. The board's gender arithmetic under the ingroeiquotum governs who can lawfully be appointed next.
- Time commitment in this market
- Typically 6–8 supervisory board meetings a year plus committees; boards within the structure regime carry additional works-council engagement.
Before you apply — Netherlands

- Nationality test
- None.
