Non-executive Director
Non-Executive Directors bring external experience and expertise to the department, playing an important role in providing advice, challenge and scrutiny to the work of the Executive Committee and the department more widely, both within and outside of formal Board and sub-committee meetings.
Non-Executives contribute their expertise outside the formal Board and subcommittee structures — for example, working closely with executives on specific initiatives, mentoring and undertaking in-depth examinations of risk.
Non-Executive Directors also support the effectiveness of programme boards for HMRC’s most significant transformation programmes.
