Non-Executive Director (Legal, Governance and Risk)

UK (hybrid) · Board-level appointment · Competitive non-executive fee · Initial three-year term, renewable

The opportunity

A UK organisation is seeking a Non-Executive Director with a senior legal and governance background to strengthen its board’s oversight of legal, regulatory, governance and risk matters. As the legal and regulatory environment grows more complex, boards increasingly value a non-executive who can bring the perspective of an experienced lawyer or general counsel to the boardroom.

This is a board-level governance role — providing oversight, challenge and judgement, not acting as the organisation’s lawyer or running its legal function. The successful candidate will translate deep legal and governance experience into effective board-level contribution across the full range of the board’s work.

What we’re looking for

• A senior legal career (e.g. General Counsel, senior partner, or equivalent), ideally with company-secretarial or board-governance exposure
• Strong understanding of corporate governance, regulatory compliance and board-level risk
• The ability to operate as a board member — oversight and challenge, not execution
• Independence, integrity and sound, balanced judgement
• Existing board experience welcome; we will also consider first-time NEDs of the right calibre
