The Open Banking Implementation Entity (OBIE) is seeking to appoint an independent Non-Executive Director (iNED) to their Board. Open Banking allows consumers and SMEs to share their bank account information securely with trusted intermediaries who can then use this information to help them save time and money by finding better products to suit their needs.
In order to implement Open Banking, the Competition and Markets Authority required the nine largest current account providers in Britain and Northern Ireland to create and fund an implementation entity – known as the Open Banking Implementation Entity. The implementation phase is expected to conclude in 2022.
The OBIE are now seeking a second iNED to further strengthen the governance of the organisation. The individual will be expected to work closely with the Chair, and recently appointed iNED to provide them with support and to provide independent scrutiny and constructive challenge to the functioning of the OBIE.
This individual will need to have significant experience in corporate governance, as well as change management. They will need to provide effective leadership alongside the Chair, during a time of significant change.
This will be a hands-on role with an anticipated time commitment of approximately 3-4 days/month. The role is expected to have a duration of approximately 6 months. However, the length of term may be extended beyond this. The role is remunerated at 45,000 per annum.
