Board Intelligence is a technology and advisory firm on a mission to make boards more effective, and through them, build better businesses and benefit society.

Over twenty years we have established ourselves as the market leader in governance and board effectiveness, trusted by more than 80,000 directors, executives, and governance professionals globally, including across the Fortune 500, FTSE 100, and OMX 30. That trust has been earned through depth of insight, rigorous advisory work, and a track record that newer entrants simply cannot replicate.

We have invested in applied AI since 2020, well ahead of the market, and that early conviction has paid off. Our AI-powered platform and smart board advisor give us a competitive advantage that is widening, not narrowing. In 2024, K1 Investment Management, the leading B2B Enterprise SaaS investor, backed us to accelerate that position further. We are now growing fast, with a proven commercial model spanning both mid-market and enterprise, and a product suite that has become a necessary addition in high-stakes board environments.

The people joining us now will shape how we scale. We are deliberate about how we do that. Our founders and leadership team are deeply invested in keeping the culture that got us here: thoughtful, high calibre, and genuinely human. Ambition and balance are not in competition at Board Intelligence.

If you want to work at the intersection of AI and governance, on problems that matter at the highest level, this is a strong place to be.

How We Use AI in Our Hiring

We use AI responsibly, both in the software we build for governance teams and in how we hire. Our Talent team may use AI to support application review, CV analysis, or identifying areas that need further verification.

But hiring decisions are made by people. AI surfaces signals; people make the call on whether to progress a candidate or extend an offer.

We’re an equal opportunities employer. We’re building a team that works because it reflects a breadth of experience, background, and perspective.

If you need reasonable adjustments at any stage of recruitment, or if there’s anything else we can do to make the process more accessible, tell our Talent team. We’ll sort it.

Your Safety Matters

Be cautious of unexpected messages claiming to be from Board Intelligence. We will never ask you for fees as part of recruitment. If you’re unsure whether a communication is genuine, contact our Talent team through our official channels before sharing information or clicking links.
