Greenfields Executive Recruitment & Search is partnering with an established ASX-listed organisation to appoint an Interim Senior Company Secretary. Reporting to the Group Company Secretary & Head of Legal, this is a senior individual contributor role providing governance advice and company secretarial services to the organisation’s Boards and Committees, including its subsidiaries.

The position offers meaningful exposure to Directors and senior executives, with a remit spanning Board and Committee governance, ASX and Corporations Act requirements, AGM support, subsidiary governance and corporate transactions.

The role

• Board and Committee governance: Support the management of the Board and its Committees, including preparing draft agendas, coordinating Board and Committee papers, maintaining forward calendars and ensuring decisions and actions are accurately captured and communicated.
• High-quality minute taking: Prepare minutes for the full ASX Board to a high standard, including meetings covering full and half-year financial reporting and complex corporate or project transactions.
• Governance and regulatory advice: Provide or procure advice to the Board on the organisation’s constitution, ASX requirements and other relevant legal and regulatory obligations, while maintaining corporate governance documentation and supporting the ongoing development and review of governance frameworks.

About you

You will bring senior company secretarial experience gained within an ASX-listed company, including direct accountability to a listed company Board and experience working closely with Directors and senior executives.

This role requires someone who can navigate relationships across the Board, executive leadership and broader business with diplomacy and pragmatism. You will be a strong written and verbal communicator, meticulous in your attention to detail and comfortable influencing multiple stakeholders while working collaboratively with colleagues across the Secretariat function.
