We have a very rare opportunity for a Company Secretary to join us on a part time basis to play a pivotal role in ensuring the effective governance of LSV including the Board, its Committees and Councils. You will provide high-level secretariat support, manage key governance processes, and support the implementation of an organisational governance review. This role demands a blend of expertise in legal and governance matters, strategic thinking, and leadership skills. Your key responsibilities will include:

- Serve as Company Secretary, ensuring compliance with the LSV Constitution, Corporations Act, and ACNC requirements for the Board and select Committees.
- Provide expert secretariat support to the Board, Committees, Council, and their Chairs and support staff.
- Manage the Annual General Meeting, Annual Council Elections, and oversee the LSV Constitution, By-Laws, and other governing documents.

- Drive continuous improvement in administrative support for board and committee meetings and work plans.
- Foster a values-centred culture of inclusion, respect, and high performance.

**What We’re Looking For**:

You should demonstrate a capacity to analyse information and data to uncover strategic insights, solutions, and opportunities. Additionally, experience in project management is crucial, including the ability to coordinate, schedule, and monitor activities to achieve organisational objectives, attention for detail, and meet contractual requirements in a multi-tasking environment.
