Board Member — Technology & Capital Allocation

Sweden·Industrial Manufacturing·Industrial & Precision Manufacturing·Posted 11 July 2026

Nasdaq Stockholm large-cap industrial group

The problem this seat exists to solve

The nomination committee — constituted by the four largest owners — has identified capital allocation and digital operating models as the board's two thinnest areas, and is preparing its proposal for the annual general meeting.

The remit

  • Bring direct experience of capital allocation and portfolio decisions to a globally exposed industrial board
  • Contribute to the board's oversight of a multi-year digital operating-model programme
  • Serve on the audit committee
  • Work alongside employee directors, who receive the same board papers

What the sponsor will not compromise on

  • Former CEO, CFO or group strategy lead who has executed disposals or a capital-return programme
  • Industrial or engineering experience at international scale
  • Independence of the company and, for at least two directors, of the major shareholders
  • English is the working language of this board

Terms

Engagement
One-year term — Swedish directors are elected individually and annually.
Compensation
SEK 750,000 – 950,000 a year including audit-committee fee, resolved by the AGM.
Cross-border
The board retains its EEA-resident majority, so a non-EEA appointment is available. Approach the nomination committee rather than the chair — its members are published ahead of the AGM.
Time commitment in this market
Typically 8–11 board meetings a year plus committees and a strategy session; Swedish boards meet more often than the European average and read more.

Before you apply — Sweden

No nationality test applies to you. The board as a whole must keep half its members EEA-resident unless Bolagsverket has granted an exemption — a company-level test that a listed issuer normally satisfies well before it reaches an outside candidate.

Residency test
At least half the board resident within the EEA, subject to exemption by Bolagsverket. Non-EEA residents are common on Swedish boards where that half is satisfied.
Nationality test
None.
Work authorisation
A non-executive director attending board meetings requires no work permit. Executive roles for non-EU/EEA nationals require a work permit through Migrationsverket.
Tenure limit once appointed
No fixed cap. Because directors are elected annually and the nomination committee is reconstituted from the current largest shareholders each year, refresh is driven by ownership change rather than by a tenure clock.
