This AIM listed consumer staples company is now seeking to appoint a Deputy Company Secretary on a full time, permanent basis, in what is a new role at this level within the group. This truly is a role that will allow you to be involved in everything! Reporting to the General Counsel & Company Secretary, responsibilities will include board support, governance and reporting, share plan management, AGM and entity management (UK only). There will also be great opportunity for project based work in terms of identifying and implementing any improvements in policy and procedure.
Therefore this role will best fit someone who likes to get stuck in and who can perhaps cope with some ambiguity at times - someone who might enjoy a good puzzle on occasion.
No areas of the work will be off limits including gaining main board experience over time (board committees in the first instance).
Whilst being a very internationally focused company, the UK head office (based in Buckinghamshire) has around 15 members of the head office staff so might present a quieter working environment to what many might be used to. Everyone is incredibly friendly and supportive though, but will look to you in this role for guidance and support on all corporate governance and company secretarial matters. This role would wither suit someone already operating at Deputy level or perhaps a Senior Assistant Company Secretary seeking that next step up.
A great role with a huge amount of development opportunity, the company work three days a week from the office, two from home. A competitive salary and benefits package are on offer, please do get in touch for a full job description.
