We're supporting a global organisation undergoing a significant transformation to appoint an experienced Interim Senior Governance Manager.
Hybrid Working, London
Interim Contract: 6 months +
This is a unique opportunity to help shape and embed governance within an investment and portfolio business. Working directly with senior leadership, you will play a key role in designing governance and risk frameworks, advising executives on governance best practice, and supporting a complex portfolio of investments and joint ventures.
This is a broad, hands-on role that combines strategic governance advisory work with practical delivery. You'll need to be equally comfortable advising senior stakeholders and rolling up your sleeves to drive actions through to completion.
Key Responsibilities:
- Act as a trusted governance adviser to senior executives and leadership teams
- Design, implement and continuously improve governance frameworks across a growing investment portfolio
- Support the development and implementation of risk management and control frameworks
- Provide governance advice on investment structures, partnerships, and joint ventures
- Partner closely with Legal, Risk and Compliance teams on governance-related matters
- Deliver governance training, briefings, and practical guidance to stakeholders
- Maintain governance records, actions, and documentation to ensure effective decision-making and oversight
- Provide company secretarial support where required, although this forms a smaller part of the overall role
