About the Opportunity

As the Deputy Group Company Secretary, you'll be the trusted second-in-command to the Group Company Secretary, helping deliver governance excellence across the Metcash Group.

This is far more than statutory compliance. This is a hands-on governance role suited to someone who enjoys bringing structure, discipline and practical governance support to a large and complex corporate group. You'll advise senior stakeholders, support our Board and Committees, oversee governance across a large portfolio of subsidiaries and help shape the governance frameworks that support the future of our business.

You'll also play a key role in acquisitions, restructures, entity management and strategic projects, ensuring governance remains practical, commercial and fit for purpose.

In this Role, You Will:

• Partner closely with the Group Company Secretary across all aspects of the Company Secretariat function.
• Lead governance across the broader Metcash Group, with a particular focus on subsidiary governance, entity management and governance frameworks.
• Support Board and Committee meetings, preparing high-quality papers, resolutions and minutes.
• Provide governance advice to senior leaders across the business.
• Support mergers, acquisitions, restructures and other strategic corporate initiatives.
• Drive continuous improvement across governance frameworks, systems and processes.
• Coach and support junior members of the Company Secretariat team while fostering a collaborative, high-performing culture.

You’ll bring:

• Extensive experience within Company Secretariat, Corporate Governance or Corporate Legal functions.
• Experience supporting listed companies or large, complex corporate groups.
• Strong knowledge of the Corporations Act, ASIC requirements and ASX governance obligations.
• Expertise in subsidiary governance, statutory compliance and corporate record management.
• Confidence working with Boards, Committees, Executives and external advisers.
• A proactive mindset with the ability to identify governance risks, solve problems and continuously improve processes.
• Experience with governance systems such as Diligent and CAS360 will be highly regarded.
