Governance Administrator and EA to the Chairs

ASAP Start
Competitive Salary

Handle Recruitment are thrilled to be partnering with one of the biggest music organisations to source an experienced EA with knowledge of governance.

In this role, you'll provide seamless administrative and personal assistant support to the Chairs of the Board and Members' Council, while also ensuring governance meetings and processes run smoothly. You'll be part of a collaborative, supportive team where your organisational skills, discretion, and proactive approach will make a real impact.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Coordinating governance meetings and events, including scheduling, tracking attendance, booking rooms, and organising catering.

  • Managing annual corporate meeting planning and routine filings at Companies House.

  • Supporting key processes such as onboarding new directors, conflict of interest declarations, and Know Your Customer due diligence.

  • Providing high-level EA support to the two Chairs, including complex diary management, travel arrangements, preparing itineraries, processing expenses, and managing communication flow with utmost confidentiality.

  • Acting as a first point of contact, building positive relationships with Council and Board members, internal teams, and external partners.

  • Supporting the Governance Team with administrative tasks, project planning tools, and coordination with other corporate services functions.

  • Maintaining schedules, resources, and SharePoint content to keep everything running efficiently.

The ideal candidate will have:

  • Proven experience as a detail-focused administrator supporting executives, ideally within a large organisation.

  • Confidence in managing complex diaries, travel arrangements, meetings, and logistical coordination with calm efficiency.

  • Strong IT skills, including Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Forms, OneDrive, Monday.com, and Adobe Acrobat.

  • Excellent communication skills - professional, warm, and able to handle sensitive and confidential matters with complete discretion.

  • A highly organised, proactive, and positive approach, thriving in an environment where no two days are the same and collaboration is at the heart of success.

Please note: This is an administrative role and is not suited to CGI-qualified or part-qualified candidates.

Join a team where your attention to detail, discretion, and proactive approach will be genuinely valued. If you're looking for a role that combines meaningful responsibility with supportive colleagues in the music industry, we'd love to hear from you.
