Funds Company Secretary

Funds Company Secretary – Leading Irish Law Firm, Dublin (Hybrid)

Our client, a leading Irish law firm, is seeking an experienced Funds Company Secretary to join their well-established Funds Department. Reporting directly to the Head of the Funds CoSec team, you will take ownership of a varied portfolio of regulated clients in a permanent, client-facing role with genuine scope to progress.

You’ll be the main company secretarial contact for a regulated fund management company/AIFM, MiFID investment firms and a portfolio of regulated investment funds. Day to day, you will manage the full company secretarial cycle: preparing board agendas, compiling board packs to agreed timelines, attending board and committee meetings, and producing accurate minutes and action points. You’ll help boards stay compliant with the Corporate Governance Code and the Central Bank of Ireland’s Fitness and Probity and Conduct Standards, and ensure CRO and Central Bank filings are completed on time.

Your responsibilities will also include:

• Gathering fitness and probity documentation for PCF and CF role onboarding (directors, designated persons, heads of function) and supporting the completion of Central Bank Individual Questionnaires
• Acting as Central Bank Portal Administrator, managing user access and submitting scheduled and ad hoc returns
• Preparing AGM and EGM documentation
• Arranging notarisation and apostilling of documents
• Maintaining statutory registers on Blueprint
• Incorporating new companies and ICAVs

The ideal candidate will have at least three years’ experience in a funds company secretarial role, along with a sound working knowledge of the Companies Act, the ICAV Act and the Central Bank’s corporate governance and Individual Accountability/Fitness and Probity requirements. Experience with Blueprint, Diligent Entities or a similar governance platform is also required. Excellent minute-writing skills, strong written and verbal communication, and the ability to juggle multiple deadlines are essential.
