ROLE DESCRIPTION

We seek to appoint two new Non-Executive Directors (NEDs).

The first NED will provide strategic guidance on Lumicare’s US market entry and commercialisation. We want someone with senior US medical device experience who can advise on market access, distribution, GPOs, IDNs, pricing and commercial strategy, with specific US nuance for sales and marketing in mind. Success will be measured by the development of a practical US market-entry plan, access to relevant industry networks and partners, and measurable progress toward US commercialisation and revenue growth.

The second NED will provide strategic guidance on capital management, fundraising and potential exit pathways. Lumicare want someone with senior corporate finance, investment banking, M&A, pre-IPO and IPO experience who can work closely with the CEO and CFO and provide access to relevant investor and adviser networks. Success will be measured by a clear capital management and exit strategy, stronger investor engagement, and the successful execution of future capital-raising or strategic transactions.

Lumicare also expect to establish two permanent board committees which these NEDs will be members of:

  1. Remuneration and Nomination Committee: Executive roles, responsibilities and accountability; senior executive remuneration; succession planning; future director appointments; and board performance evaluations.
