A Non-Executive Technology Director brings strategic technology leadership into your business at the level you need it, without the full-time overhead. Embedded in your decisions, present in your leadership conversations, and accountable for outcomes alongside you.
The strategic leadership your business needs, at the right stage of growth, without committing to a full-time executive salary.
The role is effective in different contexts. The common thread is a business that needs strategic technology leadership but does not need, or is not yet ready for, a full-time executive in that seat.
Your people are excellent at what they do. They keep the business running smoothly. But there is a gap between where the business is heading and the systems that are needed to make it happen. Taking your best technical people away from frontline delivery to think strategically costs you in both directions. A Non-Executive Technology Director fills that gap without disrupting what is already working.
You are hiring people with specific skillsets, people who are laser-focused on what they do best. You do not want to dilute their time and attention with strategic responsibilities they were not hired for. A Non-Executive Technology Director provides the leadership layer so your team can concentrate on what they are great at.
A Non-Executive Technology Director is not a consultant who drops in with recommendations and leaves. They are an embedded member of your leadership team, present in the decisions that matter, available between meetings, and owning the strategic technology agenda on your behalf.
The role operates under our Helm strategic level, the highest level of engagement in our service model. It combines direction-setting, project oversight, risk management, and executive presence in a single, flexible arrangement.
The role is also scalable. Whether you need a consistent advisory presence in the boardroom or a more intensive engagement around a specific period of change or growth, the arrangement adapts to fit what the business actually needs at any given time.

The Non-Executive Technology Director role sits at our Helm strategic level, the highest level of engagement in our service model. Where our Navigator level provides structured guidance and planning, Helm means embedded leadership, executive accountability, and genuine decision-making authority alongside you.
This is the role for businesses where technology is a critical driver of performance and the stakes of getting it right, or wrong, are significant. Where you need someone who thinks and acts like a member of the leadership team, not like a service provider.
