Job Description
If you enjoy governance at scale, without unnecessary drama, this is worth a look.
This is an opportunity to step into a genuinely international group where governance matters because decisions matter. Not box-ticking. Not form-filling. Real board and entity work in a fast-moving, capital-intensive business.
We’re supporting a globally backed energy platform operating across multiple jurisdictions, with a growing portfolio of assets and projects. Legal and governance are central to how the business runs — and this hire is about keeping the wheels turning smoothly as the organisation scales.
What you’ll actually be doing
This is a hands-on, high-trust Assistant CoSec role with real exposure:
* Supporting board and committee processes end-to-end: agendas, papers, minutes, actions and resolutions
* Managing a large, multi-jurisdiction entity portfolio (circa 70 entities across 10+ countries)
* Coordinating and overseeing third-party company secretarial providers globally
* Keeping statutory records clean, consistent and audit-ready
* Working closely with legal, finance and senior stakeholders in a matrixed environment
* Using and imposing order through governance tools and document systems (e.g. entity management platforms, SharePoint)
Who this will suit
This role will appeal to someone who:
* Has experience in an in-house or professional services company secretarial environment
* Is comfortable operating across jurisdictions and time zones
* Understands how governance supports decision-making — especially when things move quickly
* Is pragmatic, organised and calm under pressure
* Knows when to protect the governance perimeter without becoming a blocker
You don’t need to be overly corporate — but you do need to be precise.
Why this is interesting
* Exposure to a genuinely international, growth-oriented business
* Board-level visibility and meaningful responsibility
* A governance function that is taken seriously
* Breadth of work without chaos
* Hybrid working and a sensible, grown-up culture
This is a role where good governance enables progress — not slows it down.
Practicalities
* Location: London (hybrid working)
* Role: Permanent, in-house
* Level: Assistant Company Secretary / Senior CoSec Administrator
