Governance is at the heart of every organisation – public, private, social enterprise or charity. In a world where stakeholder management is crucial to setting your direction and maximising your impact across all your business functions; the Governance Officer role is key.
At it’s core it is about managing an organisation’s governance but in the right hands it is so much more than “meetings and records”. This is a technical and specialist role covering compliance with external regulators; but also giving your organisation the resource to develop your Corporate Social Responsibility or ESG so your organisation connects effectively with its key stakeholders: the public, investors, funders, customers, regulators, suppliers and auditors to shape the organisation’s sustainable future.
​
