Role Purpose & Context
Role Summary
The Corporate Governance Coordinator is here to make sure our global legal entities are well-maintained and compliant with all the local rules. Day-to-day, you'll be handling the nitty-gritty administrative tasks that keep our corporate structure in good order. You're essentially the backbone for the Corporate Governance team, helping them manage the mountain of paperwork and deadlines that come with operating in multiple countries.
This role sits right at the heart of our Compliance, Quality, Health & Safety department, acting as the first line of defence for accurate corporate records. You'll be translating instructions from senior team members into concrete actions, ensuring everything from director appointments to annual returns are filed correctly.
When you do this job well, our legal entities are healthy, our records are pristine, and the senior team can focus on bigger strategic risks. Get it wrong, and we could face fines, reputational damage, or even legal challenges – it really is that important. The challenge? The sheer volume of detail and the need for absolute accuracy across different jurisdictions. The reward? You'll gain a deep understanding of how a global company is actually structured and governed, building a fantastic foundation for a career in corporate governance.

Performance Metrics
Quantitative Metrics
- Metric: Statutory Filing Accuracy
- Desc: Percentage of statutory filings (e.g., annual returns, director changes) submitted without errors.
- Target: 99%+
- Freq: Monthly review of submitted filings
- Example: You've prepared 50 director change forms across various jurisdictions this quarter, and only one needed a minor correction before submission. That's a 98% accuracy rate, which is good, but we'd aim for even better.
- Metric: Entity Data Update Timeliness
- Desc: Time taken to process and record changes to legal entity data (e.g., new directors, address changes) in our entity management system.
- Target: Within 48 hours of instruction
- Freq: Weekly audit of system logs
- Example: A new director was appointed on Monday; you had their details updated in Diligent Entities by Wednesday morning, well within the 48-hour target. This keeps our records current for everyone who needs them.
- Metric: Board Materials Distribution Lead Time
- Desc: Number of days before a scheduled board or committee meeting that all required materials are distributed to members via the board portal.
- Target: 5 days ahead of meeting
- Freq: Per meeting, tracked by the Governance Analyst
- Example: For the upcoming Audit Committee meeting on Friday, all papers were uploaded and circulated by the previous Friday, giving board members a full week to review. That's exactly what we need.
- Metric: Task Completion Rate
- Desc: Percentage of assigned administrative tasks (e.g., scheduling, document collation) completed by their agreed deadline.
- Target: 95%+
- Freq: Weekly check-ins with your manager
- Example: You were given 10 tasks this week, and you got 9 of them done on time, with the 10th needing a slight extension due to an unforeseen external delay. That's a solid 90%.
Qualitative Metrics
- Metric: Process Adherence
- Desc: Consistently following established procedures and checklists for all governance tasks, ensuring nothing is missed.
- Evidence: Your work consistently passes review without needing significant rework due to missed steps. You can explain the 'why' behind each step in a process. You proactively ask clarifying questions if a step isn't clear, rather than guessing.
- Metric: Proactive Issue Identification
- Desc: Spotting potential problems or discrepancies in data or documentation before they become bigger issues, even if it's outside your direct task.
- Evidence: You flag an inconsistency in a director's address across two different documents. You notice a filing deadline approaching that wasn't on the main calendar and bring it to your manager's attention. You don't just 'do the task,' you look at the context.
- Metric: Team Collaboration & Support
- Desc: Being a helpful and reliable member of the Corporate Governance team, assisting others when needed and communicating clearly.
- Evidence: Team members regularly mention you're easy to work with and responsive. You offer to help a colleague with a busy period. You keep your manager informed of your progress and any blockers without being prompted.
- Metric: Learning Agility
- Desc: Quickly picking up new systems, processes, and regulatory requirements, showing a genuine desire to understand the 'how' and 'why'.
- Evidence: You only need to be shown a new system feature once or twice before you're comfortable using it. You ask thoughtful questions during training sessions. You take notes and refer back to them, demonstrating you're actively trying to learn.
Primary Traits
- Trait: The Meticulous Record-Keeper
- Manifestation: You're the person who notices the missing signature on page 7 of a 30-page document. You'll spot that a date is off by a day, or that a name is misspelled in one place but correct in another. You genuinely enjoy the process of making sure every single detail is perfect and that all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed. Frankly, you probably organise your own sock drawer by colour and material.
- Benefit: In corporate governance, one small error in a statutory filing or a board minute can have huge consequences. We're talking about potential fines, legal challenges, or questions from regulators. Your ability to catch these seemingly tiny mistakes protects the company from significant headaches and costs. It's not just about being neat; it's about mitigating risk.
- Trait: Reliable and Consistent
- Manifestation: When you say you'll do something, you do it. You don't need constant chasing, and you're not one to miss a deadline. You find comfort in routine and process, understanding that consistency is key to getting things right, especially when dealing with repetitive tasks. People know they can count on you to deliver exactly what's expected, every time.
- Benefit: Our team manages hundreds of legal entities across dozens of countries, each with its own set of deadlines and requirements. If statutory filings are missed or entity data isn't updated, we could face penalties or even lose our licence to operate in certain markets. Your reliability is the bedrock of our operational compliance; it allows the rest of the team to trust that the basics are covered.
- Trait: Eager to Learn the 'Why'
- Manifestation: You don't just blindly follow instructions; you're curious about why we do things a certain way. When asked to prepare a board resolution, you'll ask what its purpose is or what regulation it relates to. You're keen to understand the bigger picture of corporate governance, even if your current tasks are more administrative. You're always asking 'why?' (in a good way, of course).
- Benefit: This role is your entry point into a complex field. If you understand the 'why' behind your tasks, you'll not only perform them better but also be able to spot potential issues or suggest improvements. This curiosity is what will allow you to grow from a coordinator to an analyst and beyond, becoming a true governance professional rather than just a process-follower.
Supporting Traits
- Trait: Discreet
- Desc: You'll be handling highly confidential information about board members, company finances, and sensitive legal matters. Absolute discretion isn't just a nice-to-have; it's non-negotiable. You understand that some things just aren't for water cooler chat.
- Trait: Organised
- Desc: With so many documents, deadlines, and different entities, you need to be naturally organised. Your filing system (digital and physical) should make sense, and you should be able to find any document quickly. A tidy desk often means a tidy mind, and in this role, that's a superpower.
- Trait: Patient
- Desc: Sometimes, you'll be waiting for signatures from busy executives or chasing information from different time zones. Things don't always move at lightning speed, so a bit of patience and persistence will serve you well. You'll learn to manage your expectations.
Primary Motivators
- Motivator: Ensuring Order and Accuracy
- Daily: You'll feel a real sense of satisfaction when a complex set of documents is perfectly organised, or when you've double-checked a filing and know it's 100% correct. The idea of 'getting it right' is a strong driver for you.
- Motivator: Learning and Developing Expertise
- Daily: You're keen to understand the intricacies of corporate law and governance across different countries. Every new task is an opportunity to learn something new about how global businesses operate, and you'll actively seek out that knowledge.
- Motivator: Being a Dependable Team Member
- Daily: You enjoy being the person the team can always rely on for support, knowing that your contributions, though perhaps not always visible to the outside world, are essential for collective success. You like knowing you're making things easier for others.
Potential Demotivators
Honestly, this role involves a lot of administrative detail and can feel quite repetitive at times. You'll spend a fair bit of time on data entry, checking documents, and chasing people for information. If you're someone who needs constant novelty or immediate, high-level strategic impact, you might find parts of this job a bit slow. The 'glamour' of corporate governance is often found in the details, not the headlines.
Common Frustrations
- The endless, unglamorous volume of routine statutory filings and director updates across dozens of countries.
- Chasing busy executives and board members for signatures on time-sensitive documents, often multiple times.
- Dealing with messy, inconsistent data from various sources that needs to be cleaned up before entry.
- The feeling that your work is 'behind the scenes' and not always recognised for its critical importance.
What Role Doesn't Offer
- High-level strategic decision-making (not yet, anyway).
- A fast-paced, constantly changing environment (it's more about steady, diligent work).
- Direct management of a team (you'll be an individual contributor).
- Frequent external travel (most of your work will be office-based).
ADHD Positives
- The structured nature of many governance tasks (e.g., checklists for filings) can provide a clear framework, which some with ADHD find helpful for focus.
- The need for meticulous attention to detail can be a hyperfocus opportunity, allowing for deep concentration on critical accuracy.
- Opportunities for short, varied tasks within a day (e.g., data entry, document review, email follow-ups) can help maintain engagement.
ADHD Challenges and Accommodations
- The repetitive nature of some administrative tasks might be challenging; breaking these into smaller, timed blocks could help.
- Managing multiple deadlines across different entities requires strong organisational systems, which we can help you set up and maintain.
- Long periods of sedentary work might be difficult; we encourage regular breaks and movement throughout the day.
Dyslexia Positives
- The role often involves visual organisation of data and documents, which can be a strength for those with dyslexia who excel at pattern recognition.
- Strong verbal communication skills can be highly valued for clarifying instructions or explaining processes to colleagues.
- The focus on understanding overarching structures (like corporate hierarchies) can play to strengths in holistic thinking.
Dyslexia Challenges and Accommodations
- Proofreading dense legal documents for errors can be demanding; using assistive technologies (like text-to-speech) and having a colleague do a final check are standard practice.
- Extensive written reporting might be challenging; we can support with templates, structured formats, and tools for grammar/spelling checks.
- Processing large volumes of text quickly may be difficult; we'll ensure you have adequate time and tools for document review.
Autism Positives
- The clear, defined processes and rules within corporate governance can provide a sense of predictability and structure.
- A strong focus on logic, accuracy, and detail is highly valued and essential for success in this role.
- The opportunity for deep, focused work on specific tasks, such as data management or document review, can be a good fit.
Autism Challenges and Accommodations
- Navigating unspoken social cues in a corporate environment can be challenging; we aim for clear, direct communication and provide explicit feedback.
- Unexpected changes to routine or urgent requests might be difficult; we'll try to give as much notice as possible and explain the 'why' behind urgent shifts.
- Sensory sensitivities: our office environment is generally quiet, but we can discuss specific needs for workspace adjustments (e.g., noise-cancelling headphones).
Sensory Considerations
Our main office is a typical open-plan environment, but it's generally on the quieter side, not a bustling call centre. There's natural light, and we try to keep noise levels down. We use standard office lighting. Social interaction is usually structured (meetings, direct conversations) rather than constant, spontaneous chatter. If you have specific sensory needs, let's talk about them – we're keen to make the environment work for you.
Flexibility Notes
We offer some flexibility with working hours, especially for routine tasks, and a hybrid working model (typically 2-3 days in the office, the rest from home). This can often help manage energy levels and create a more comfortable work environment. We're open to discussing what works best for you.
Key Responsibilities
Experience Levels Responsibilities
- Level: Entry Level
- Responsibilities: Assist with the preparation and filing of statutory documents across various jurisdictions, making sure every form is filled out perfectly and submitted on time.
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date records in our entity management system (like Diligent Entities), which means inputting director changes, updating share registers, and keeping track of legal addresses.
- Support the Corporate Governance Analyst with scheduling board and committee meetings, sending out invites, and making sure everyone has the right dial-in details.
- Upload and organise board and committee papers into our board portal (e.g., Diligent Boards), ensuring all documents are correctly named, version-controlled, and accessible to the right people.
- Help to collate information for annual returns and other routine compliance filings, often chasing internal teams for data or external partners for confirmations.
- Assist with the onboarding process for new directors, ensuring they receive the correct welcome packs, access to systems, and are properly recorded in all relevant registers.
- Keep our internal governance policies and procedures documentation tidy and current, making sure any updates are reflected and easily found by the team.
- Supervision: You'll have daily check-ins with your manager, the Corporate Governance Analyst. Most of your work will be paired or closely reviewed, especially in the first few months. We're here to teach you, so asking questions is always encouraged. Expect a lot of guidance.
- Decision: Honestly, you won't be making independent decisions in this role. Any deviation from standard procedures, any unusual requests, or any communication with external legal counsel or regulators will need to be escalated to your manager. Your job is to execute tasks as instructed, not to interpret complex legal requirements. Think of it as following a recipe precisely.
- Success: You're successful when your tasks are completed accurately, on time, and according to our established processes. Your manager shouldn't have to chase you for updates, and the documents you prepare should require minimal corrections. Ultimately, you're making the lives of the senior governance team much easier.
