Working closely with the Group Company Secretary, the successful candidate will support the delivery of effective corporate governance and company secretarial arrangements across a multi-jurisdictional group. This is a broad, hands-on role offering exposure to senior stakeholders, Boards and Executive Committees, alongside involvement in the full governance cycle and wider corporate projects.
The position would particularly suit someone with a strong technical Company Secretarial background who has experience operating within, or exposure to, an internal or group governance environment. Candidates coming from a client Company Secretarial background will also be considered where they can demonstrate relevant internal corporate governance exposure.
Key Responsibilities
• Supporting the Group Company Secretary with corporate governance and Company Secretarial matters across the Group and its subsidiaries
• Maintaining statutory registers, corporate records and required filings
• Maintaining Group structure charts and entity information
• Supporting the maintenance of Group CDD and conflicts registers
• Maintaining and developing information held within the Group's entity management system
• Assisting with the review and maintenance of governance policies, terms of reference and delegated authority documentation
• Supporting the Group corporate calendar and governance timetable
• Coordinating subsidiary Board and Committee meetings, including notices, agendas, Board materials and action points
• Drafting accurate Board and shareholder minutes and written resolutions
• Monitoring and following up actions arising from Board and Committee meetings
• Supporting Director onboarding, changes in officers and Board evaluation processes
• Ensuring statutory submissions and filings are completed accurately and within required deadlines
• Supporting the Governance team and senior leadership with corporate projects, including acquisitions and mergers
The Ideal Candidate
The successful candidate will have:
• Previous practical experience within a Company Secretarial role, ideally within financial or professional services
• A strong understanding of Company Secretarial responsibilities and corporate governance best practice
• Experience of internal/group governance structures, or a combination of client Company Secretarial experience and internal governance exposure
• Good knowledge of Guernsey and/or Jersey company law
• Experience preparing Board agendas, papers, accurate minutes and resolutions
• An understanding of the financial or professional services regulatory environment
• Experience supporting Boards, Committees and senior stakeholders
• A willingness to study towards, or current progress towards, the CGI Chartered Governance Qualifying Programme or an equivalent qualification
Experience of Company Secretarial and governance requirements across additional jurisdictions would be advantageous, as would familiarity with entity management systems such as Viewpoint or Diligent Entities.
The successful candidate will also possess excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong attention to detail and first-class organisational and time-management abilities. They will be comfortable managing competing priorities in a fast-paced environment and dealing professionally with senior internal and external stakeholders.
This is an excellent opportunity for an established Company Secretarial professional looking to broaden their exposure to Group-level governance, Board operations and international corporate structures within a growing financial services organisation.
