**Then we have the opportunity for you**

De la Rue is currently recruiting for a new Deputy Company Secretary to join our small and friendly Legal and Company Secretarial team. This role is responsible for all the traditional duties expected by a Deputy Company Secretary, but as the business continues to progress on its turnaround plans, it also offers a broad range of interesting activities and projects.

- Working with the Company Secretary, provide the Board and its Committees in a timely manner with all relevant papers, including providing additional background information and support for the Non-executive directors. Act as Secretary to Board and management committees and produce timely and accurate Committee Minutes (where responsible for these) and ensure that decisions are advised to those who need to take action.
- Raise matters that require the Board’s attention and communicate to the Company Secretary any governance issues that affect the Group. Provide an annual ‘horizon scanning’ paper for the Board on actual/potential changes to relevant law and governance issues.
- Assist the Company Secretary in the induction of Board directors and looking after the needs of the Non-executive directors.
- Oversee the management of the company’s share register and the relationship with the registrar and ensure that all relevant housekeeping (deemed consent mailings etc) is kept up to date.
- Handle requests and queries from retail shareholders.
- Manage and administer the Group’s share schemes.
- Maintain the relevant pages of the Group’s website.
- Oversee the administration of and compliance filings (other than tax) for the Group’s subsidiaries, branches and representative offices globally. Support the directors and officers of those entities in performing their roles. Participate in the project to eliminate unnecessary group entities and reduce running costs.
- Act as Secretary to Board Committees and the Executive Leadership Team (ELT).
- Introduce and maintain processes and procedures to ensure the efficient running of the department.

**What qualifications, experience and skills are we looking for?**
