Are you an Assistant Company Secretary with entity management experience? Would you like to play a key role in supporting YouGov's Company Secretariat during an exciting phase of development of its governance function?

We are on the hunt for an Assistant Company Secretary to join us immediately for a 6-month FTC (Maternity Cover) role, with the potential for extension. Enjoy the flexibility of hybrid or remote working – your work, your way!

Regrettably, we are unable to provide visa sponsorship, so you must be eligible to work in the UK on a permanent basis.

 

Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do (not all of it, just the important
stuff):

The role will assist the Company Secretariat at YouGov to deliver a number of high-level entity administration projects for the Group’s UK and international subsidiaries.  You will have the opportunity to take on the following:

  • Lead on Company Secretariat projects relating to international entity management actions and corporate activity

  • Support YouGov’s US based entities with regulatory compliance requirements
  • Support compliance health-checks on our international subsidiary entities

Behavioural competencies:

It would be great if you had these too:
