Job description

A private infrastructure business headquartered in London is seeking an experienced Company Secretary to provide immediate interim support for an initial period, anticipated to run until early 2027. Operating internationally across more than 30 jurisdictions, the organisation is looking for someone who can hit the ground running and provide hands‑on support across its group company‑secretarial and entity‑governance activities.

Reportingwith the General Counsel and senior stakeholders across Legal, Finance, Tax, Treasury and HR, you will take ownership of the group's corporate records, statutory compliance and subsidiary governance. You will play a key role in ensuring the group's entities are accurately maintained, statutory filings are completed on time and governance processes operate effectively across its international footprint.

This is a broad, hands‑on position offering the opportunity to take ownership of key governance activities within an international business. From overseeing entity records and coordinating international statutory filings to managing board meetings, corporate actions and governance policies, you'll have real responsibility and visibility across the organisation. The role will suit someone who is proactive, highly organised and confident working autonomously with stakeholders and external advisers across multiple jurisdictions.

What's on offer?

This is an excellent opportunity to provide interim support within an established and growing infrastructure business, taking ownership of group company‑secretarial and entity‑governance activities. You'll have the opportunity to support and strengthen existing governance processes, improve the management of corporate records and play an important role in ensuring statutory and regulatory requirements are met across more than 30 jurisdictions.

Working closely with the General Counsel and wider senior leadership team, you'll gain exposure to a broad range of corporate and governance matters, with the opportunity to make a tangible impact during your assignment.

The position is based in London, with a flexible hybrid working model, typically involving three days per week in the office and two days working remotely. For guidance purposes only and dependent on experience, the provisional salary has been set at £100,000 - £115,000 FTE.

About you

To be successful in this role, you will have strong experience in company secretarial, corporate governance or entity management, ideally within an international business or professional services environment. You'll have a good understanding of statutory and regulatory filing requirements across multiple jurisdictions, alongside experience maintaining corporate records, coordinating entity changes and supporting board and subsidiary governance.

The successful candidate will be highly organised, methodical and detail‑oriented, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and ensure important deadlines are met. You'll be a confident communicator, comfortable engaging with stakeholders at all levels, managing external advisers and providing updates to senior leadership. A proactive approach, sound judgement and the ability to identify and resolve issues independently will also be important.

You'll be someone who takes ownership, drives good governance practices and enjoys improving processes rather than simply maintaining them. Familiarity with governance systems and software, alongside strong Microsoft Office skills, would also be beneficial.

Immediate availability is essential for this opportunity

alongside the ability to commit to the anticipated interim assignment through to early 2027. You'll typically be expected to spend three days per week in the London office, with the remaining two days working remotely.
