Company Secretary - Fed&Found CLG

Company Secretary / Governance Officer – Fed&Found CLG

Role Description

Fed&Found CLG is an early-stage/start-up social enterprise based in Limerick developing an alternative and circular food redistribution system, connecting businesses with safe surplus food to community and support organisations while reducing avoidable food waste.

As Fed&Found moves from development into pilot operations, we are strengthening our Board and governance structures and are seeking an experienced and organised Company Secretary / Governance Officer.

The successful candidate will take responsibility for supporting the effective administration and governance of Fed&Found CLG and will work closely with the Chair/Board, Founder/CEO, Treasurer and other Directors.

Key responsibilities will include:

Supporting the Board in meeting its governance and company-law responsibilities.

Maintaining appropriate company and governance records.

Coordinating Board meetings, agendas and supporting documentation.

Ensuring accurate minutes and records of Board decisions are maintained.

Maintaining statutory registers and records relating to Directors and the Company Secretary.

Supporting required CRO filings and monitoring key statutory deadlines.

Maintaining a governance and compliance calendar.

Supporting the appointment, resignation and induction of Directors.

Maintaining records of Board policies, declarations of interests and governance decisions.

Supporting the development and regular review of organisational policies.

Helping ensure significant decisions, including acceptance of assets, funding agreements and major organisational commitments, are appropriately documented and authorised.

Working with the Finance & Governance Director/Treasurer to support strong internal governance, accountability and risk management.

Supporting Fed&Found as its governance arrangements develop alongside the organisation’s growth.

We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in company secretarial work, corporate governance, CLG administration, charity/not-for-profit governance, legal administration, compliance or Board administration.

Knowledge of CRO requirements and Irish company governance would be particularly valuable.

The role would suit someone interested in joining an organisation at an early stage and helping establish strong governance systems from the outset as Fed&Found develops its alternative food-system and food-redistribution model.

The position is voluntary, with reasonable Board-related expenses reimbursed in accordance with organisational policy.
