We’re Growing Our Team: Governance, Company Secretarial & Minute-Writing Opportunities
We’re interested in meeting people with different professional backgrounds who could contribute to our governance, company secretarial and board support work.
You may already have substantial governance experience, bring strong administrative and meeting-support skills, or have developed specialist professional minute-writing expertise.
We are currently looking to welcome one, potentially two, new colleagues across Jersey and Guernsey. The eventual appointment will depend on experience, capability and the needs of the business.
Different experience. Shared standards.
Virteffic provides flexible governance resource, corporate governance and company secretarial support to boards, committees, governance teams and organisations across a broad range of sectors.
We are deliberately not recruiting against one narrowly defined job description. Someone may bring excellent administration and meeting-support skills, while another may have established governance experience and be ready to take ownership of more complex client work.
Professional minute writers are also of particular interest.
The eventual role, title and responsibilities will reflect the successful candidate’s experience, capability and professional interests, alongside business requirements.
Two broad routes
There are two areas we are particularly interested in exploring. These represent different experience profiles rather than two guaranteed vacancies.
Governance administration & board support
For people with strong administration, organisation, meeting coordination or professional support experience who would like to contribute to governance delivery and develop relevant expertise.
- Board and committee meeting coordination
- Agendas, packs and meeting documentation
- Action tracking and governance records
- Practical governance and secretarial support
Previous governance experience can be helpful, but relevant transferable skills are welcomed.

For people with established corporate governance, company secretarial or board and committee experience who can take greater ownership of professional client assignments.
- Managing governance and meeting cycles
- Preparing and reviewing governance records
- Drafting professional board and committee minutes
- Supporting clients and governance projects
Professional judgement, accuracy and confidence managing client responsibilities are particularly important.
Explore governance professional careers →Professional minute writers are also of particular interest
Professional minute writing is an important part of Virteffic’s work, and we are interested in people with strong drafting skills and sound professional judgement.
Excellent minute writers come from different backgrounds. Some are experienced governance and company secretarial professionals who regularly support complex meetings. Others develop specialist expertise from strong writing, meeting-support and organisational skills.
At a developing level, we may be able to support someone in strengthening their drafting capability and governance knowledge.
What we’re looking for
Technical requirements will vary according to the eventual role and level, but some qualities matter across all our work.
Ownership and organisation
Taking responsibility, managing priorities, meeting deadlines and following through on commitments.
Professional standards
Caring about accuracy, quality, confidentiality and information security.
Judgement and communication
Knowing when to ask questions or escalate a matter, and communicating clearly with clients and colleagues.
Collaboration and development
Supporting colleagues, sharing knowledge and being willing to learn and develop.
You do not need to meet every technical requirement across both career routes. What matters is being clear about your experience and the contribution you could make.
Why work at Virteffic?
Our team has opportunities to support different clients, boards, committees and governance projects while working within a flexible, remote-first model.
Variety of work
Depending on your role and the assignments available, you may work with different organisations, governance challenges and ways of working.
Greater flexibility
Our working model provides autonomy in how work is organised, while maintaining clear expectations around agreed commitments and deadlines.
A connected team
Work independently while remaining part of a team that shares knowledge, supports colleagues and makes time to connect.
Learning, development and progression
Joining a flexible business should not mean being left to work things out alone.
Development at Virteffic can include practical client experience, mentoring, knowledge sharing, feedback and learning through Virteffic Academy.
Some people want to deepen their technical expertise. Others are interested in specialist minute writing, broader governance responsibilities, client relationships or leadership.
The opportunities available will depend on individual capability, interests and the needs of the business.
Working at Virteffic: what to expect
Our remote-first working model offers flexibility, supported by clear expectations around professional responsibility, client commitments and communication.

Team members are not obliged to accept any particular volume of work offered, but agreed commitments must be met.
Remote-first working
Much of our work can be undertaken remotely from a suitable, private and secure environment.
Some assignments require attendance at meetings or client premises, and deadlines may determine when availability is needed.
Jersey and Guernsey
We are currently interested in candidates entitled to work in Jersey or Guernsey who meet applicable employment and licensing requirements.
Any working arrangements outside these jurisdictions are subject to applicable requirements and prior agreement.

Not sure which route fits?
Your current job title is less important than your experience, capability and what you’re looking for next.
You might be an experienced company secretary, governance professional, specialist minute writer or administrator with strong board and committee support experience.
You might also be returning after a career break, looking for greater flexibility or considering a different direction for your professional career.
You do not need to work out which job title fits before contacting us. Tell us about your background and interests, and we can explore whether there could be an appropriate opportunity.
