- Act as a liaison between shareholding Ministers and non-executive Directors.
- Ensure boards have resources and advice for effective corporate governance.
- Maintain corporate records and oversee regulatory filings (e.g., ASIC and equivalents).
- Ensure reporting frameworks and arrangements enhance the structure, activities, and effectiveness of the Board and management committees.
- Undertake statutory company secretary duties as required, including acting on behalf of the Executive Director, Corporate Secretariat & Governance.
- Carry out other responsibilities assigned by the Board, CEO, or Executive Committee.

- Tertiary qualifications in Business or Law, with at least 8 years of post-qualification experience in financial services or funds management.
- Expertise in corporate governance, with a deep understanding of national and, ideally, international legislative and regulatory environments.
- Proven ability to mentor and lead high-performing teams, fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing across divisions.
- Skilled at managing corporate reporting and policy requirements, ensuring compliance and alignment with organisational goals.
- Strong commercial problem-solving capabilities, including issue identification, options analysis, and sound judgment to determine optimal outcomes that satisfy both legal and business needs.
