Assistant Company Secretary

Job description

Governance Executive / Senior Executive – London

Join a dynamic governance team where you’ll step into the boardroom early, work alongside senior stakeholders, and shape your career across a diverse mix of listed and private companies. This is your chance to gain broad exposure, take on real responsibility, and accelerate toward a lead governance role.

You’ll support an exciting portfolio of clients - from ambitious private businesses and AIM-listed tech startups to established premium-listed retailers. Every day brings variety: you’ll shape board agendas and papers, attend high-stakes meetings, and craft precise minutes that drive boardroom decisions. You’ll plan shareholder meetings, guide annual report disclosures, ensure governance code compliance, and manage MAR records and filings.

Beyond routine governance, you’ll dive into live corporate action - M&A deals, IPOs, RTOs, delistings, equity fundraisings, share buybacks, capital reorganisations, and market moves. Your portfolio of UK TopCos and subsidiaries will build your expertise in statutory filings and regulatory disclosures, while contributing to technical research, process improvements, and even business development through networking and LinkedIn content.

We are very receptive to part-qualified ICSA/CGI professionals - this role offers market-leading study support, structured CPD, vast self-service training resources, and a high-performing team to guide your qualification journey.

What we’re looking for

• 18+ months in a governance or company secretarial role
• Working knowledge of Companies Act 2006
• Exceptional writing, organisation, communication, and attention to detail
• Client-service mindset and team commitment
• 2:1 degree in relevant field
• Microsoft 365 proficiency
• Ready for Central London office (4 days/week)

We are excited to receive your application, please get in touch!
