Assistant Company Secretary

Assistant Company Secretary - part time 3-4 days per week

We've never been 'just a bank'. Just like you should never be 'just an employee'. We're united in our belief that in banking, better can be bigger, and together we're making it happen.

**It starts here. With Bendigo Bank... and you.**

Bendigo Bank exists to feed into the prosperity of our customers and community, not off it. We know that as a bank we will only be successful if we focus first on the success of our customers, our people, communities, partners, suppliers, and shareholders.

Our Corporate Secretariat is a critical support function of the Bendigo Bank group. Our highly capable team of passionate professionals provide top tier executive corporate administrative support and governance advice to the Bank's board and board audit committees, as well as its subsidiaries, and joint ventures. We currently have a permanent Assistant Company Secretary opportunity available for someone to join the team part time for three or four days per week.

As a seasoned professional in the banking / finance corporate secretariat space, you'll have worked for ASX-listed companies, and be confident handling governance responsibilities and supporting board audit committees.

This is a unique and influential role that will provide you with significant career development in a non-hierarchical environment where you'll be empowered to lead and grow in a culture that encourages new ideas and better ways of doing things.

This role can be based in either Melbourne, Adelaide, or Bendigo. We offer flexible work options that put our people first, and a hybrid model with a minimum requirement of 60% of your time per week in the office.

As Assistant Company Secretary, you'll get to:

- Facilitate the smooth running of Board and Committee meetings
- Assist the Bendigo Bank Board of Directors with queries and provide good governance advice
- Draft meeting agendas, distribute meeting packs and maintain meticulous minutes
- Maintain corporate registers and prepare and lodge procedural ASX announcements
- Provide secretarial assistance for half and full-year reporting and managing the annual general meeting
- Participate in corporate transactions and statutory audits

**What you'll bring to the role**
- a tertiary qualification preferably in law, business law, or corporate administration
- membership of the Governance Institute of Australia (ideally with a GIA Graduate Diploma) or the Australian Institute of Company Directors
- significant relevant experience as a company secretary within the banking/finance industry with an ASX-listed company
- demonstrated working knowledge of financial services legislation (eg. Banking, wealth management, superannuation, financial planning), APRA Prudential standards, and ASX Listing Rules (preferably)
- completed the online ASX listing officer course
- outstanding verbal and written communication skills
- expertise using Microsoft 365, SharePoint, DocuSign, Diligent and GEMS

**So, why work with us?**
- **Want big impact that matters?**Here, you'll know your work directly benefits the customers and communities we all serve.
- **Want to be more than just a number?**Join a team that truly values you - and that gets more and more diverse every day.
- **Want career opportunity AND flexibility?**Achieve both here, where we know that balance and progression go hand in hand.

**We're making better, bigger. And we'll get there with you.**

Could you be our newest Assistant Company Secretary. Now's the time to set your sights even higher - on the future you and the future career you deserve. Applications close 19th February.
