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.

Interim Group Chief People Officer — Growth at Scale
United Kingdom·Business Services & Diversified
Family-owned business and professional services organisation
People cost, capacity and productivity are usually managed apart. For 12 months, reporting to the Board Chair, an Interim Group Chief People Officer will connect them as one set of choices for this family-owned firm in business and professional services.
Interim Board Secretary and Governance Officer — Value Agenda
United Kingdom·Agribusiness & Food
Mid-cap listed agribusiness and food systems organisation
Resetting delegated authority across the entities and committees of an agribusiness and food group listed in the mid-cap segment is a 12-month job, and it falls to an Interim Board Secretary and Governance Officer reporting to the Nomination and Governance Committee Chair.
Independent Director for Resource Acquisitions and Capital Allocation
United Kingdom·Mining & Metals
Metals and mining growth platforms
A metals company is evaluating acquisitions alongside development of its existing portfolio. The board needs a director who can connect transaction economics, financing capacity and financial reporting consequences, helping management avoid growth that weakens the balance sheet.
Interim Chief Information Officer for Technology Separation
United Kingdom·Technology & Digital Platforms
Enterprise technology and AI organisation in United Kingdom
This mandate requires an executive who has separated technology operations while maintaining business continuity. Applicants should demonstrate direct responsibility for service, security, cost and transition decisions. A history of producing separation plans without carrying the operating consequences will not provide sufficient evidence.
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.
Board Director for Retail Estate and Capital Allocation
United Kingdom·Consumer & Retail
Retail organisation in United Kingdom
The director will bring independent judgement to a retail board's decisions about store estate, refurbishment, distribution and digital investment. The seat requires evaluating how capital choices reinforce the customer proposition and enterprise resilience. It carries collective director responsibility and does not replace executive property or development leadership.
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.
Interim Vice President of Engineering for Scale Up Reliability
United Kingdom·Technology & Digital Platforms
Software and digital product scale-ups
A software business is increasing product demand faster than its engineering organisation can reliably deliver. The VP will improve leadership structure, prioritisation and service reliability while preserving the speed needed to compete.
Interim President, International Markets — Performance Renewal
United Kingdom·Consumer & Retail
Cooperative or mutual consumer, retail and distribution organisation
Answering to the Investment Committee for 24 months, an Interim President, International Markets, will set a growth plan the international markets can realistically deliver, for a cooperatively run consumer, retail and distribution organisation.
Interim Chief Financial Officer — Maturity and Liquidity Planning
United Kingdom·Business Services & Diversified
Restructuring and turnaround organisation in United Kingdom
This CFO mandate focuses on a debt maturity that requires early, credible preparation. The appointee must establish what financing the industrial business can support and when each available route ceases to be practical.
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.
Interim Group Chief Information Officer — Controls
United Kingdom·Business Services & Diversified
Cooperative or mutual business and professional services organisation
Where engineering capacity goes, and what it stops serving, is for an Interim Group Chief Information Officer to decide over 12 months in a member-owned business and professional services organisation. The role reports to the Chief Operating Officer.
Independent Bank Director — Recovery Readiness and Board Decision-Making
United Kingdom·Banking & Financial Services
Banking organisation in United Kingdom
Candidates need senior banking finance, treasury, risk or restructuring experience and the ability to evaluate complex trade-offs under uncertainty. Exposure to a stressed institution or a substantial contingency-planning exercise is valuable. Applicants should explain how they assessed feasibility when assumptions changed rapidly and information was incomplete.
Interim Chief Restructuring Officer — Lender-Led Turnaround
United Kingdom·Consumer & Retail
Consumer business organisation in United Kingdom
Applicants should have led a lender-facing turnaround involving volatile consumer revenues and constrained liquidity. They must show how they maintained a common fact base when stakeholders preferred different outcomes. Experience with operational intervention, stakeholder negotiation and disciplined cash control is required; a background limited to transaction execution will not cover the remit.
Interim Technical Continuity and Recovery Programme Lead
United Kingdom·Technology & Digital Platforms
Secure software delivery organisation in United Kingdom
The role carries responsibility for the agreed programme and its delivery coordination, with risk acceptance and material expenditure retained by designated owners. The engagement should leave tested procedures, trained participants and a prioritised account of residual gaps. Handover must explain the conditions under which recovery objectives can be met and the assumptions on which they depend. Success is a credible, maintained recovery capability that the permanent organisation can exercise again without relying on the interim lead's personal knowledge.
Interim Director — Legacy Service Renewal
United Kingdom·Public-Interest & Regulated Services
Public-service technology organisation in United Kingdom
Legacy renewal often fails because the old system embodies undocumented decisions and operational workarounds. This interim director will lead the transition of a critical administrative service, making those dependencies explicit before committing to replacement or retirement.
Audit Committee Chair — Consumer Operations
United Kingdom·Business Services & Diversified
Corporate finance and capital structure organisation in United Kingdom
Candidates need substantial financial reporting and assurance experience, with the ability to interpret both detailed accounting issues and their significance for the full board. A recognised accounting qualification or equivalent depth of relevant expertise is expected. Prior committee leadership is valuable, but candidates must also demonstrate how they created challenge without undermining management accountability.
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.
Interim Software Supply Chain Assurance Lead
United Kingdom·Technology & Digital Platforms
Secure software delivery organisation in United Kingdom
The lead will implement practical controls over the software supply chain, covering the path from source and dependencies to built artifacts and deployment. The assignment responds to the need for trustworthy delivery evidence, not merely a larger collection of scanning tools. It requires operational ownership of improvements across engineering, platform and security teams.
Interim Engineering Incident and Remediation Director
United Kingdom·Technology & Digital Platforms
Secure software delivery organisation in United Kingdom
The director will take responsibility for the engineering response to a pattern of significant service incidents or control failures. The assignment is to stabilise delivery and ensure remediation addresses underlying causes. It requires coordination across technical teams, service owners and risk specialists, with clear accountability for what is fixed and what remains exposed.
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.
Non-Executive Director — Downside Capital and Covenant Oversight
United Kingdom·Business Services & Diversified
Restructuring and turnaround organisation in United Kingdom
The director will strengthen board scrutiny of leverage, covenant capacity and capital decisions in an industrial business. The seat requires attention to plausible combinations of adverse events rather than confidence in a single management forecast.
Non-Executive Director — Industrial Performance and Cash
United Kingdom·Business Services & Diversified
Corporate finance and capital structure organisation in United Kingdom
Suitable candidates have held senior finance responsibility in industrial or similarly asset-intensive operations and can demonstrate experience of challenging performance plans at board level. Familiarity with product costing, inventory and capital expenditure is essential. They should be able to engage operational leaders without attempting to substitute their own production judgement for specialist expertise.
