The problem this seat exists to solve
The interim director will lead renewal of identity and access arrangements supporting public-interest services. The programme must improve control while ensuring staff and authorised users can perform their work reliably. It requires coordinated decisions across technology, service owners and relevant policy or privacy specialists.
Discover access dependencies before enforcing change
Map how access is requested, approved, changed and removed across important systems. Identify shared accounts, unmanaged exceptions and cases where organisational changes do not reach the access process. Determine which service owner is competent to approve each type of entitlement rather than assuming technical administrators can judge business need.
Test complete scenarios, including a role transfer, urgent temporary access and the removal of a user who holds several responsibilities. Confirm that the process works across connected systems and that failures have an owner. Technical deployment alone is not completion.
The permanent service should inherit clear approval authority, usable evidence and manageable exception review. Assess success through reduced uncontrolled access and dependable service operation, with targets grounded in the initial assessment. The director coordinates implementation; specialist legal or policy judgements remain with the authorised functions.
Candidate requirements
Candidates should have led identity, access or enterprise security-control programmes with direct delivery accountability. They need experience handling operational resistance, legacy constraints and supplier dependencies. The ability to explain the difference between technical capability and authorised business access is important.
Programme delivery
Develop a prioritised transition that addresses the highest-consequence gaps without overwhelming operational teams. Align joiner, mover and leaver processes with the systems they depend on. Establish migration and review procedures that preserve evidence of approval and make exceptions visible.
For privileged access, ensure the operating arrangements cover emergency use, accountability and subsequent review. The programme should not solve routine access delays by normalising unrestricted permissions.
Where a supplier administers access, confirm that the service owner can inspect approval evidence and revoke access without waiting for the next contract review. Test this capability during transition.

Before you apply — this is an executive role
An interim seat needs work authorisation. A board seat in the Netherlands 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 the Netherlands
- A non-executive or supervisory director attending meetings does not require a residence permit. Executive roles for non-EU nationals require a permit, commonly under the highly skilled migrant scheme.
