CryptoTricity Ltd is an early‑stage energy‑fintech infrastructure company building the loyalty layer between Ireland's energy suppliers and their residential customers. Our platform connects the XRP Ledger with Ireland's national smart‑metering infrastructure to help households automatically earn and redeem energy bill discounts through their everyday energy behaviour — invisibly, without any knowledge of cryptocurrency required.
Role Description
This is a volunteer role for a Non‑Executive Director
Location: Republic of Ireland (Dublin preferred; remote considered for the right candidate)
Commitment: Approximately 4–6 hours per month, increasing to 8–10 hours during CBI authorisation period
Remuneration: Voluntary — equity stake to be discussed following a satisfactory review period
Overview
This is a genuine governance and regulatory liaison appointment — not a nominal or nominee position. The successful candidate will be a meaningful participant in the company's most critical period: pre‑authorisation engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland, Key Facts Document preparation, and the formal CASP application process.
The NED will serve as the company's primary point of regulatory substance in Ireland, satisfying the CBI's requirement for board‑level decision‑making power to be demonstrably present on Irish soil — a non‑negotiable requirement under the MiCA supervisory framework.
Responsibilities
Attending and contributing to board meetings (quarterly minimum; monthly during CBI authorisation period) — in person in Ireland where required by the CBI
Acting as a named member of the management body for the purposes of the CBI Fit and Proper assessment under MiCA Article 68
Representing the company in pre‑application engagement with the CBI Innovation Hub and, subsequently, in formal CASP application interactions
Supporting the company's credibility with Irish angel investors and seed funds during the Q4 2026 seed funding round, where board composition is a due diligence factor.
What We Are Looking For
Resident in the Republic of Ireland — this is a legal and regulatory requirement, not a preference
Working knowledge of the Markets in Crypto‑Assets Regulation (MiCA, EU 2023/1114) and the CBI's CASP authorisation framework
Familiarity with the Central Bank of Ireland's supervisory culture and expectations — either through direct experience or professional engagement with the CBI
Understanding of Irish company law obligations for directors under the Companies Act 2014
Genuine interest in the energy‑fintech sector and the social mission of reducing energy costs for Irish households
Availability to engage substantively during the CBI KFD and formal application period (targeted Q3–Q4 2026)
Highly Desirable
Background in Irish financial services regulation, fintech, or crypto‑asset compliance
Experience with AML/CFT frameworks, the EU Travel Rule, or DORA ICT resilience obligations
Prior directorship experience with a regulated financial services entity supervised by the CBI or another EU national competent authority
Network within the Irish energy sector, CRU regulatory environment, or ESB Networks ecosystem
Familiarity with the CBI Fit and Proper regime and the PCF (Pre‑Approval Controlled Function) appointment process
Understanding of utility token classification under MiCA Title II and the distinction between utility tokens, ARTs, and EMTs
What This Role Offers
This is an opportunity to join a board‑level position in one of the first Irish energy‑fintech companies seeking MiCA CASP authorisation with an EU passport strategy. The candidate will be involved in structurally important regulatory work at a genuinely early stage — the kind of appointment that is rare once a company reaches Series A.
Equity stake in Cryptotricity Ltd — structure and quantum to be agreed following a satisfactory review period of three to six months. The company's seed round is targeted at a pre‑money valuation of £3.5M, giving prospective equity a defined reference point from the outset.
Named board appointment with full NED standing — not an advisory or observer role
Direct involvement in the CBI CASP authorisation process from pre‑application stage
Time Commitment and Expectations
We are transparent about what this role requires during the authorisation period:
Q2–Q3 2026: 4–6 hours per month (CBI Innovation Hub engagement, KFD review)
Ongoing post‑authorisation: 4–6 hours per month (quarterly board meetings, CBI supervision liaison, annual compliance oversight)
Board meetings will be held in Ireland where required by the CBI. We are a distributed team and will accommodate remote participation wherever regulatory requirements permit.
How to Apply
If you are based in Ireland, have a genuine understanding of MiCA and the CBI's CASP framework, and are looking for a board‑level role that combines regulatory substance with genuine commercial upside, we would like to hear from you.
Please send a brief introduction — no more than a few paragraphs — covering your relevant experience and your interest in the role to: michael@cryptotricity.ie
We will acknowledge all applications and respond to shortlisted candidates within ten working days.
