directorship
Board seat role
Directorship is the position or office of a director—someone who oversees an organization, department, or creative project.
The term emphasizes the role itself rather than the person holding it: She was offered the directorship of the museum.
It can also refer to the period during which someone serves as director: The company expanded during his directorship.
