Senior Executive Services
We have a range of opportunities for senior executives in the following roles:
Chief Executive Officer
A chief executive officer (CEO) or chief executive is the highest-ranking corporate offier in charge of overall management. An individual selected as president and CEO of a corporation, company, organisation, or agency, reports to the board of directors.
Managing Director
The role of a Managing Director (MD) is to design, develop and implement the strategic plan for his or her company in the most cost effective and time efficient manner.
The Managing director is responsible for the day-to-day running of the company and developing business plans for the long term future of the organisation. The Managing director is accountable to the board and the shareholders of the company.
Board Members
A board of directors is a body of elected or appointed members who jointly oversee the activities of a company or organisation.
A board's activities are determined by the powers, duties, and responsibilities delegated to it or conferred on it by an authority outside itself. These matters are typically detailed in the organisation's constitution. The constitution commonly also specifies the number of members of the board, how they are to be chosen, and when they are to meet.
In an organisation with voting members, e.g., a professional society, the board acts on behalf of, and is subordinate to, the organisation's full assembly, which usually chooses the members of the board. In a stock corporation, the board is elected by the stockholders and is the highest authority in the management of the corporation. In a nonstock corporation with no general voting membership, e.g., a university, the board is the supreme governing body of the institution.
Typical duties of boards of directors include
- governing the organisation by establishing broad policies and objectives;
- selecting, appointing, supporting and reviewing the performance of the chief executive;
- ensuring the availability of adequate financial resources;
- approving annual budgets;
- accounting to the stakeholders for the organisation's performance.
The legal responsibilities of boards and board members vary with the nature of the organisation, and with the jurisdiction within which it operates. For public companies, these responsibilities are typically much more rigorous and complex than for those of other types.
