Our client is an award-winning, £5m turnover technology business based in Surrey, with 35 staff, established across the Housing, Local Government and NHS space. The business is growing significantly and is targeting a sale or IPO within 4–5 years.
The Chairman — an accomplished leader with a strong track record of taking tech businesses to IPO — is seeking an experienced Non-Executive Director from a software/technology background, ideally with strong commercial exposure to social housing and local authority markets (NHS exposure also welcomed).
The Role
Working closely with the Chairman and board (circa 1 day per month, plus occasional ad hoc strategy sessions), you will:
- Act as a sounding board and advise on operational and growth strategy, with a focus on the company’s niche sectors.
- Use your sector contacts and relationships to support business development, partnerships and strategic opportunities.
- Help shape good governance and compliance practice for a software business operating in regulated public-sector environments.
- Support the board in preparing the business for its next phase of growth, including the eventual sale/IPO process.
- Identify future opportunities and risks as the business scales.
The Person
- A genuine technology background — ideally C-suite/board-level experience within a software or SaaS business that sells specifically (main focus/deep knowledge) into social housing, local government or NHS sectors.
- Deep, current knowledge of how these sectors buy — procurement frameworks, key decision-makers, and the regulatory landscape.
- A strong, active network of contacts within these sectors, with a track record of converting relationships into commercial value.
- Prior NED or advisory board experience is highly desirable.
- Candidates with direct buyer-side experience (e.g. former NHS, housing association or local authority leadership) who also have genuine commercial/board experience in tech will also be considered.
Commitment: circa 15 days per annum (board meetings plus ad hoc strategy sessions).
Fee: circa £20,000–£25,000 per annum.
