Job description

Job Description

Our client is a speciality insurance service provider, seeking an experienced professional to join on a part-time basis to work closely with and support/mentor the Assistant Corporate Secretary.

The core purpose of the role is to operate as Company Secretary and provide complete corporate secretariat support to clients (c. 30 non-listed companies). A full job description and list of duties is available on request.

They are ideally seeking someone to work 3 days per week, with flexibility on how the hours are worked. The role is offered on a hybrid basis, as part of the role is Board facing. To mentor the Assistant, they would prefer 1 day per week in the office for face-to-face interaction to develop relationships, although this requirement can be relaxed if needed.

The successful candidate is likely to have at least 5 years’ experience, ideally gained in a professional services environment. They are looking for someone to work hand in hand with the Assistant Corporate Secretary, supporting and mentoring her as she learns more about company secretarial matters. The business prefers not to outsource this co sec client service work to lawyers, hence the plan to bring in a more experienced professional on a part-time basis to support the business with senior level expertise. They have minute takers in house, and 80% of the client boards are covered by them, with the remaining 20% covered by the Co Sec/Asst Corp Sec.

You should be happy working in a small team and willing to roll your sleeves up to confidently tackle a mix of the more basic/mundane day-to-day cosec activities (using Diligent) during busy periods and holiday times, as well as providing a safe pair of hands to offer more senior level advice as required by clients.
