Senior Associate

This is an exciting permanent remote working role for a company secretary or legal professional with a need to be able to travel to London approximately 2 - 4 times per month (subject to any ongoing COVID restrictions).

You’ll enjoy our flexible approach to working and being set free from a constricting office environment. Being primarily home based, you can leave the daily commute behind. We also encourage a healthy work-life balance whilst maintaining excellent standards of customer service.

Elemental is a growing boutique professional services firm. We pride ourselves on delivering company secretarial services of the highest standard with a human touch. We carry out premium work that would not be expected of a firm of our size and you will get exposure to clients that you would not achieve in many other firms.

You'll be working as a Senior Associate in our Corporate and Governance team. The role can be full time or part time. Work outside of normal working hours and on weekends is actively discouraged.

The role will include the following:

• Establishing and maintaining relationships with a variety of clients.
• Support and attend board meetings, committee meetings, AGMs, taking minutes and advising on corporate governance.
• Drafting a variety of corporate and compliance policies.
• Advising clients on corporate legal matters, company secretarial compliance and governance matters.
• Supervising and supporting junior members of our team.
• Supporting clients with special projects (e.g. corporate transactions, share reorganisations).
• Helping to develop and implement new policies and procedures to improve the functioning of the department.
• Providing leadership, including by example and helping to set a strong workplace culture and environment.

The ideal candidate will have the following attributes (although candidates meeting only some of the following criteria will be considered):

• a qualified or part qualified chartered secretary or solicitor or other legal professional;
• at least 2 years working in a professional services firm;
• knowledge of the Companies Act 2006;
• a good understanding of the Listing and Disclosure Rules, the UK Corporate Governance Code and the QCA Code (preferred but not essential);
• experience working within or for publicly listed clients (preferred but not essential);
• excellent inter-personal skills and a customer driven attitude;
• passionate about providing quality client service;
• flexible and adaptive approach to work.

You'll earn the full-time equivalent of between £50,000 and £70,000 per year depending on experience and be able to take part in a bonus and commission scheme. There is also real scope for career progression and ongoing professional development.

All applications will be seriously considered and following review they will contact potential candidates via email to arrange a telephone interview.

If forgetting the daily commute and working flexibly as part of a welcoming team at a firm where you can progress and develop your career sounds good, they would love to hear from you.
