Actively sourcing
A demand profile the Exchange is actively sourcing against. The sponsor is not confirmed on this board, and we say so rather than implying a signed mandate. Registering interest puts you in front of the sponsor when the brief converts.
The problem this seat exists to solve
The CISO has departed while the company is building the governance and disclosure process required by the SEC's cyber-security incident and risk-management disclosure rules. The audit committee requires continuity of accountability.
The remit
- Hold the security function and the incident-response command structure
- Complete the materiality-assessment process behind cyber incident disclosure
- Report to the audit committee on the risk-management programme
- Scope the permanent role and support the search
What the sponsor will not compromise on
- CISO experience at a regulated or listed US business
- Direct experience of SEC cyber-security disclosure obligations
- Ability to present to an audit committee and to external counsel
- US work authorisation
Terms
- Engagement
- Six months, full time, hybrid.
- Compensation
- USD 1,800 – 2,400 a day.
- Cross-border
- An executive interim role requires US work authorisation; the business-visitor position available to non-executive directors does not extend to it.
Before you apply — this is an executive role
An interim mandate needs work authorisation. A board seat in the United States 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 United States
- A foreign national attending board meetings usually travels on a B-1 business visa or under the Visa Waiver Program; board attendance is a recognised permissible business activity. An executive or interim operating role requires work authorisation.
- On this brief
- An executive interim role requires US work authorisation; the business-visitor position available to non-executive directors does not extend to it.
