Vacancy details

Unlike a client-facing advisory role, this opportunity sits in-house, supporting the business’s own governance and compliance needs at group and subsidiary level.

In a nutshell…

  • Acting as secretary to the Risk & Audit Committee, act in an advisory capacity and take ownership of the end-to-end process.
  • Lead the annual review of Board and Committee Terms of Reference, ensuring best practice governance
  • Play a key role in subsidiary governance, supporting subsidiary Boards and advising on governance matters
  • Take responsibility for administering share schemes, ensuring accurate record-keeping, compliance, and effective communication with stakeholders
  • Partner with senior leaders across the business to deliver governance excellence in a fast-paced, collaborative environment

The ideal candidate…

  • ICSA/CGI part-qualified or qualified, with proven company secretarial experience
  • Strong exposure to share schemes administration and governance
  • Demonstrable track record of Board and Committee support, including minute-taking and meeting administration
  • Excellent organisational, written, and verbal communication skills with the ability to advise senior stakeholders confidently
  • Detail-oriented, proactive, and comfortable navigating complex governance challenges

If you are looking to take on a central role in one of the fastest growing top ten accountancy firms, where you’ll take ownership for a major committee, drive governance best practice, and build on your share schemes expertise, we’d love to hear from you.

Hybrid working offering 2 days in the office in either London or Harrogate office.

Salary £65,000-£75,000
