Mid-market operating businesses

The problem this seat exists to solve

A business has many improvement initiatives but little visible movement in financial or operating performance. The transformation officer will turn the programme into a manageable set of priorities with named owners, realistic resources and benefits verified by finance.

Turn improvement activity into operating results

The role carries executive delivery responsibility within an agreed budget and delegation. It reports to the CEO, or to the board where the appointment is for CEO. Major decisions follow the organisation’s reserved matters.

Diagnose and prioritise

You will diagnose the sources of underperformance across commercial activity, operations and overhead. You will prioritise initiatives based on value, execution difficulty, dependencies and management capacity.

First 30 days: deliver a baseline and agree a focused portfolio of transformation priorities.

Run the transformation

Establish a transformation office with clear governance and an escalation route for blocked decisions.
Work with functional leaders to translate initiatives into weekly actions and measurable operating changes.
Track realised benefits with finance and prevent double counting or premature recognition of savings.

Ninety day checkpoint

By day 90: establish delivery routines and demonstrate initial completed actions with verified benefits.

Six month handover

By month six: show sustained progress against agreed financial and operating measures and transfer routines into line management.

Leadership profile and availability

The role requires senior enterprise leadership and evidence of delivering cross-functional transformation with measurable results; ability to influence executives while owning programme delivery.

Additional useful experience includes private company turnaround experience and familiarity with Nordic operating environments.

An initial six to nine months is envisaged, normally four to five days a week, including diagnosis and an orderly handover. Start date, remuneration, travel and on-site attendance will be agreed for the appointment.

Cross-border: International candidatures are accepted.

Before you apply — this is an executive role

An interim seat needs work authorisation. A board seat in Sweden 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 Sweden: A non-executive director attending board meetings requires no work permit. Executive roles for non-EU/EEA nationals require a work permit through Migrationsverket.
On this brief: International candidatures are accepted.

How interim seats work across borders

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.
