Your role
As Governance Officer, you will play a key role in supporting the CII Group’s governance framework and ensuring high standards of compliance and integrity across the organisation and its subsidiaries. Acting as the prime point of contact for two key committees — Audit & Risk and Education & Learning — you will take full ownership of their management, including agenda planning, chasing papers, and producing accurate minutes.
You will also lead on committee operations, contribute to Board recruitment, and support the delivery of the Annual General Meeting. Alongside this, you’ll provide expert guidance on governance processes, statutory compliance, and regulatory requirements, while building strong, trust-based relationships with stakeholders at all levels.
To succeed, you’ll bring proven committee management experience and strong organisational skills, complemented by emotional intelligence and the ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment. Progress toward a Chartered Governance Institute qualification would be helpful but is not essential — practical experience and a proactive approach are what matter most.
