You will have to be a permanent resident on an appropriate visa for 2 years in order to qualify for citizenship. There are shorter waits for military personnel who transfer to the Australian military, but otherwise it's 2 years and set to go up to 4 after 1 July.

But are there more details you haven't shared with us? Is this "directorship" really a job offer? From what size/type of company? What would he be working as? What kind of skill and education profile does he have? What's his wife's occupation? And so on.

Re: Becoming a Director of an Australian Company
Becoming a director of an Australian corporation in itself means nothing. You can buy an off the shelf corporation from ASIC and appoint yourself director. It's not that simple to get citizenship.
