• Maintain secure digital governance environments and support the ongoing improvement of governance processes and systems.

• Previous Company Secretarial, governance or Executive Assistant experience with significant Board exposure.
• Experience preparing Board documentation and taking accurate Board or Committee minutes.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Confident working with senior stakeholders and handling confidential information.
• Strong Microsoft 365 skills; experience with Board portals or Company Secretarial qualifications would be advantageous.

Personal Attributes

• Proactive, organised and highly detail-oriented.
• A confident communicator with sound judgement and strong interpersonal skills.
• Collaborative, adaptable and comfortable in a fast-paced environment.
• Committed to delivering high-quality governance support.

Why This Role?

• This is an excellent opportunity to join a respected international organisation where governance is a valued business function. You’ll gain exposure to a broad range of governance activities, work alongside experienced professionals and build relationships with senior stakeholders across the Group.
• In return, you’ll benefit from genuine opportunities for professional development and career progression, hybrid working, a supportive team culture and the chance to make a visible impact within a well-established governance function.
