Job description

A newly created Assistant Company Secretary position, supporting the Company Secretary in delivering first-class governance across the Board, its Committees and the wider Group. This is a broad and high-profile role covering Board and Committee administration, statutory and regulatory compliance (including Listing Rules, and MAR), the Annual Report and AGM process, entity management across the UK and Ireland, and administration of the Company's share plans.

What truly sets this opportunity apart is the chance to work directly with an exceptional Company Secretary who is committed to developing and mentoring their small team. The exposure to senior stakeholders, including Board-level executives, combined with the breadth of responsibilities, offers a rare platform for accelerated professional growth and career progression.

The successful candidate will have prior corporate governance experience gained within a listed company or a professional services environment. CGIUKI qualification (or near qualification) is preferred, alongside a strong understanding of company law, corporate governance best practice, and relevant listing regulations.
