Senior Assistant Company Secretary (or Assistant Company Secretary, depending on level of experience)
They’re looking for a dynamic, analytical Assistant Company Secretary to join their FTSE250 secretariat team, helping to guide the business at a senior, Board-level strategic level.
About the Role
This is a full-time, permanent opportunity within a UK-based company with a strong European footprint—perfect for someone with high-level governance experience who thrives in complexity and ambiguity.
Reporting directly to the Company Secretary, your work will cut across all key regulatory, operational, and corporate governance functions, including:
- Active participation in board-level committees
- Supporting AGMs, regulatory compliance, and legal filings
- Advising senior stakeholders on best practice governance standards
- Applying expert judgement in grey areas where rules are ambiguous
You’ll also benefit from:
- A clear career progression path with a supportive, mentor-driven relationship
- A small but structurally complementary secretariat team (including a dedicated Assistant) to work across challenges, seamlessly
- Opportunity for CGI certification support if relevant
Key Responsibilities
- Strategic Support: Proactively fulfil governance functions—from efficient board administration to structuring complex… …demands that aren’t always black-and-white.
- Regulatory Mastery: Advise on compliances spanning Company Law, regulatory filings, and data security.
- committee & AGM Coordination: Manage logistical elements of committee meetings, AGMs, and ad hoc corporate events.
- Business Development Input: Provide strategic input on governance set-up, enabling logical scalability across Europe.
- Hybrid Readiness: Lead as representing high-level corporate updates—both in-person and remotely—over a flexible hybrid model.

Required Competencies
- Current CGI qualification or elongated experience as a Deputy Company Secretary/Assistant Secretary (equivalency will be considered).
- Proven track record working in, or governing a, complex business environment.
- Revenge tolerance for pivoting priorities—this role requires comfort with rapidly shifting dynamics.
- Soft-Driven: Strong interpersonal and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build “personal brand trust” at all levels.
- Astrophysics for detail combined with common-sense scepticism—you need to perceive nuance where others dismiss ambiguity.
- Proven adaptability: Able to handle contradictions as strengths, not stressors.
- Strong verbal and written communication—your presentations, board papers, and anaemic minutes need to be razor sharp.
- Integrated hybrid workplace agility—becoming as comfortable online for board members and in-person for client interaction as needed.

Strong Fit Considerations
- Culture & Team: Over experience specific, we’re hunting for someone comfortable with learning-and-influencing among high-performers.

- Ambidextrous: Balances analytical precision with empathetic advocateship when needed.
- Disruptive: Brings ideas to improve administrative or governance efficiencies through data-driven organisation.
