Seats in the United Kingdom.
A director building an international portfolio typically holds a statutory seat in one market, takes an interim seat in another, and advises in a third. Splitting those across three products would hide two-thirds of the options, so they sit here together.
Statutory board seat
346A seat on a statutory board — independent, non-executive or supervisory — with the appointment formalities and the personal duties that go with it.
Interim leadership
456An executive engagement for a defined window: a CFO through a refinancing, a COO through an integration, a CEO alongside a founder. The fastest route onto a foreign board, because it puts you inside the market on the record.
Advisory & consulting
179A scoped advisory engagement — board effectiveness, governance design, shareholder engagement, controls readiness. No office of director, no appointment formalities, no statutory liability.

Advisory Director — Value Creation (Regulated Services)
United Kingdom·Public-Interest & Regulated Services
Venture-backed public-interest and regulated services organisation
Backed by venture investors, a public-interest and regulated services organisation wants an Advisory Director, Value Creation, to counsel its Board Strategy Committee for 24 months on tying programme benefits to operating evidence.
Finance Function Design Adviser
United Kingdom·Business Services & Diversified
Corporate finance and capital structure organisation in United Kingdom
The adviser will redesign the finance operating model around the information and control requirements of a multi-business organisation. The assignment is not to draw a new organisation chart first. It begins by identifying which decisions are currently delayed, poorly evidenced or repeatedly corrected, and then examining the processes, systems and responsibilities that produce those outcomes.
Adviser — Internal Controls During Turnaround
United Kingdom·Business Services & Diversified
Restructuring and turnaround organisation in United Kingdom
The adviser will assess internal controls in a turnaround environment where speed, staff changes and cash constraints can weaken normal discipline. The assignment must distinguish essential protection from process that no longer serves a useful purpose.
Adviser — Cybersecurity Intellectual Property Commercialisation
United Kingdom·Technology & Digital Platforms
Deep technology and semiconductors organisation in United Kingdom
The adviser will evaluate routes to commercial value for cybersecurity-related intellectual property and technical capability. The assignment connects customer need, productisation, licensing and delivery obligations. It requires commercial and technical judgement, while formal legal opinions on ownership, protection and contract terms remain with qualified advisers.
Commercial Finance Adviser — Pricing and Margin Quality
United Kingdom·Business Services & Diversified
Corporate finance and capital structure organisation in United Kingdom
Candidates should have senior commercial-finance experience and a record of working effectively with sales and operations. Strong modelling skills are necessary, but so is the ability to question whether a measured margin reflects real economic behaviour. Relevant experience includes pricing governance, contract profitability and the resolution of disputes between revenue growth and cash discipline. The strongest candidates can show how their analysis changed a commercial decision and how the outcome was subsequently evaluated.
Advisory — Internal Controls Readiness for Provision 29
United Kingdom·Banking & Financial Services
UK-listed specialist financial services group
The board must make its first declaration on the effectiveness of material controls for the financial year beginning in 2026, and does not yet have an assurance map that would support it.
Adviser — Covenant Reporting and Lender Information
United Kingdom·Business Services & Diversified
Corporate finance and capital structure organisation in United Kingdom
Deliver a documented calculation workbook or equivalent controlled process, an obligations calendar, a review checklist and a forecast-headroom dashboard. Include a handover session in which responsible finance staff reproduce the calculations and explain their assumptions. Recommendations should identify unresolved interpretation questions and the advisers or counterparties best placed to resolve them.
Adviser — Engineering Cost and Capacity Transparency
United Kingdom·Technology & Digital Platforms
Software engineering organisation in United Kingdom
The adviser will help leaders understand the relationship between engineering expenditure, delivery capacity and business outcomes. The assignment is not a headcount-reduction exercise by default. It should reveal how effort is divided among product development, reliability, support, technical renewal and avoidable rework, so that investment choices can be made on a credible basis.
Advisor on Partnership Succession and Leadership Continuity
United Kingdom·Business Services & Diversified
Professional services organisation in United Kingdom
The advisor will support leadership succession in an expertise-led enterprise where client relationships, professional authority and ownership may be closely connected. The engagement is designed to make leadership continuity practical. It must address how responsibilities transfer, how future leaders are assessed and how the organisation avoids postponing difficult decisions until a departure makes them urgent.
Group Working-Capital Adviser
United Kingdom·Business Services & Diversified
Corporate finance and capital structure organisation in United Kingdom
The assignment is to identify why cash remains trapped between purchasing, production, delivery and collection, then develop practical changes that operating leaders can implement. It is not a request for indiscriminate reductions in inventory or a finance-only collection campaign. The adviser must show how service promises, supplier terms, planning assumptions and commercial incentives create the balances reported at month end.
Two sides of the same board
