Deputy Head of Governance, Corporate Secretariat - tier Bank

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Deputy Head in the Governance team of a top tier investment bank based in London.

The Company Secretariat provides support and company secretarial services to the holding company, its Board, Board committees and subsidiary companies. The team also has responsibility for setting and delivering the strategy for the relationships with private shareholders. This role reports to the Director of Governance and will also involve line management responsibility.

Responsibilities include liaising with internal stakeholders to ensure committees operate effectively and with relevant support, advising the Committee Chair of a regulated subsidiary board and manage coordination of governance requirements across subsidiaries, as well as preparing the committee’s annual report and acting as an assistant secretary to the management-level Group committee.

The successful candidates will have previous company secretarial experience and strong stakeholder management skills. You will either be a UK qualified corporate lawyer or chartered company secretary with public company expertise. You will have trained with a top firm or previous in-house experience in a similar capacity and have a strong technical ability which is essential giving the heavy focus on disclosure and compliance with regulatory obligations.

If you strive in a fast moving and high-level accuracy demanding environment and have strong collaborative and analytical skills this will be an excellent opportunity to gain privileged access to understand how governance works, while working for one of the top tier investment banks.
