About the Role

Genuine operational involvement required — not a nominee arrangement.

• Minimum 5 years of experience in financial services, investment management, corporate governance, or a related professional field — mandatory

• Genuine willingness to be actively involved in the governance and oversight of the entity — this is not a nominee directorship
• Understanding of the Seychelles FSA regulatory framework for Securities Dealers and the obligations it imposes on directors
• Ability to attend board meetings, respond to FSA requests, and represent the company in Seychelles as required
• Strong English — written and spoken
• Experience serving as a director at a regulated financial services entity is a strong advantage
• No conflicts of interest from other concurrent directorships that would impair independent judgment or time availability

Responsibilities

• Represent the company in Seychelles as required — FSA correspondence, meetings, and inspections

• Ensure the company operates in full compliance with its FSA license conditions and Seychelles regulatory obligations at all times
