Ready to step into a senior Company Secretariat role where you'll influence governance at the highest level?
We're partnering with a global blue-chip organisation to appoint an experienced Company Secretary to join its high-performing Corporate Governance team.
This is far more than a traditional CoSec role. You'll be at the heart of the business, partnering with senior leaders and collaborating with Legal, Compliance, Risk, Finance, Treasury and Tax on some of the organisation's most strategic initiatives. From corporate governance and entity management to M&A, restructurings and complex global projects, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping the governance agenda across an international group.
We're looking for someone who enjoys combining strategic thinking with a hands-on approach—someone who isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves, challenge the status quo and drive governance best practice.
