ASAP START

A growing digital financial services organisation is looking for a detail-driven Governance & Administration Assistant to support its senior governance and compliance processes.

This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives behind the scenes, ensuring key meetings run smoothly, records are accurate, and regulatory frameworks (like SMCR) are well managed.

🔍 What you’ll be doing:

• Coordinating Executive Committee (ExCo) and other governance meetings — from scheduling to agenda prep, collating packs, and taking clear, proportionate minutes
• Managing action logs and follow-ups to ensure nothing falls through the cracks
• Supporting the administration of the Senior Managers & Certification Regime (SMCR) — keeping documentation up to date, chasing actions, and liaising with senior stakeholders
• Helping maintain board software (e.g., Diligent Boards) and supporting internal audits and workshops
• Occasionally helping administer the company’s training platform and wider business processes

✅ What we’re looking for:

• Experience supporting Board/Executive-level meetings and producing high-quality minutes
• Ideally, experience in financial services or another regulated industry
• Confident working independently and managing multiple priorities under tight deadlines
• Tech-savvy — comfortable with MS Office, Google Suite, and ideally board portals like Diligent
• Discreet, professional, and highly organised with great communication skills
