Assistant to Group Company Secretary – Jersey / Guernsey / London

  • Location: Castle Street, Jersey
  • Type: Permanent
  • Job #4597

Jersey / Guernsey
Still in a fiduciary CoSec role? Ready to break out of BAU?
If you’re currently sitting in a trust or corporate services firm, doing steady-state entity management, this is your opportunity to step into something much bigger.
Our client is a fast-growing, investor-backed financial services group ($81bn AUA).
This isn’t another client portfolio role.

This is Group-level — real exposure, real influence, real progression.


Why fiduciary candidates are moving into roles like this

  • Step away from high-volume, admin-heavy portfolios
  • Gain direct exposure to Boards and senior decision-makers
  • Work on group structures, not fragmented client books
  • Get involved in transactions, restructures and strategic governance
  • Build a career towards senior / Group CoSec roles

What you’ll be doing

  • Run Board & Committee processes end-to-end (not just minute-taking)
  • Support governance across a multi-jurisdictional group structure
  • Manage statutory filings, registers and corporate records (Guernsey focus)
  • Work directly with Boards, MDs and senior leadership
  • Support M&A, restructurings and governance projects
  • Drive consistency and best practice across the Group

What they want (and what will get you shortlisted)

  • CGI/ICSA qualified (or actively studying)
  • Background in a Jersey fiduciary / corporate services firm
  • Strong grounding in Guernsey Company Law
  • Someone who wants to move beyond BAU and add real commercial value
  • Confident dealing with senior stakeholders
  • Ambition — this only works if you want to step up

The key shift
Moving from managing client entities ? to operating at Group level in a growth business


Bottom line
If you’re in a fiduciary firm and feel like you’ve plateaued, this is a clear step change.
More exposure. More pace. More upside.
