• Have you personally delivered a FTSE-listed Annual Report & Accounts from planning through to publication?

The opportunity

If you’ve led the production of a listed company’s Annual Report, you’ll know this is far more than project administration. It requires exceptional organisation, stakeholder management and the ability to keep multiple workstreams moving to immovable deadlines.

This interim assignment will see you supporting the Deputy Company Secretary throughout the 2026/27 reporting cycle. You’ll take ownership of the reporting programme, coordinating contributors across the business and ensuring every milestone is delivered on time and to the highest standard.

You’ll be joining a fast-paced, complex global organisation where you’ll work with senior leaders across multiple functions. The role suits someone who enjoys taking ownership, thrives under pressure and is comfortable managing competing priorities throughout a demanding reporting timetable.

The role

You’ll be responsible for:

• Managing the day-to-day Annual Report project plan and reporting schedule.
• Coordinating contributors across multiple business functions and ensuring key milestones are achieved.
• Acting as the primary contact for the external design agency throughout report production.
• Organising and supporting Steering Committee and Editorial Board meetings.
• Liaising with external auditors during the reporting process.
• Managing review and sign-off processes across multiple stakeholders.
• Coordinating print production, distribution and online publication of the Annual Report.
• Identifying risks to delivery and proactively keeping the programme on track.

What you’ll bring

Essential:

• Proven experience managing the production of a FTSE-listed Annual Report & Accounts.
• Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple deadlines simultaneously.
• Experience working with senior executives and cross-functional leadership teams.
• Previous experience managing external reporting or design agencies.
• Experience working alongside external auditors during the reporting process.
• Excellent communication, organisation and stakeholder management skills.
• High levels of attention to detail and the ability to deliver under tight reporting deadlines.

Desirable:

• Previous experience supporting a Deputy or Group Company Secretary.
• Experience within a large multinational or FTSE-listed organisation.
• Exposure to online annual report publication and print production.
• Knowledge of corporate reporting and governance processes.

Working arrangement

This is a hybrid contract running from September 2026 until February 2027.

The assignment will typically require 1-2 days per week initially, increasing to up to 3 days per week during the peak reporting period.

Rate: £400-£465 per day PAYE (including holiday pay), paid via our agency payroll.
