We are working with an international Financial Services firm who are looking for an interim Company Secretary to join their Governance function on a six-month fixed-term contract. In which, there is a strong possibility for this position to become permanent.

This is a critical role that will significantly contribute to the firm's long-term strategic goals. The Chief Risk Officer has ambitious plans to expand the team and enhance the function following this appointment, including implementing AI systems for board & committee meetings so any experience in this area (or interest in gaining experience here) would be hugely beneficial

Applicant Expectations:
