With a legacy spanning over 130 years, we've evolved into a modern, purpose-driven business that balances profit with impact.

We believe all clients deserve the same level of care, innovation, and excellence.

Your Opportunity

We are pleased to offer an exciting opportunity for a Company Secretarial Assistant Manager. This role offers a unique chance to lead and deliver services to a diverse client portfolio spanning real estate, professional services, technology, media, and family offices.

You will support high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and owner-managed businesses, with responsibility for entity management, complex share transactions, and statutory compliance. This is a client-facing position requiring strong technical expertise, sound judgment, and the ability to manage governance matters independently.

While a full or part-time qualification with the Chartered Governance Institute (CGI) is desirable, it is not essential. We are seeking candidates with a robust background in entity management - ideally gained in a professional services setting - and hands on experience in complex share transactions such as subdivisions, reclassifications, transfers, share issues, and buybacks. A solid understanding of company law and corporate governance is essential.

Proficiency in Diligent Entities, a proactive mindset, and the ability to mentor junior colleagues will be key to success. This is a rewarding opportunity to progress your company secretarial career in a dynamic, client focused environment with broad sector exposure.
