Corporate Secretary

As Corporate Secretary, you will work at the heart of this organization. You ensure that governance processes run carefully and timely and support the Management Board and Supervisory Board in their formal responsibilities. An independent role with a lot of responsibility and administrative dynamics.

At ForFarmers, you get more than a job; you get a place where you can grow and make an impact. You will receive a lot of freedom, responsibility, and space to develop yourself. Think of:

• A salary between €4,644 - €6,633 gross per month, depending on experience.
• An IKB Budget of over 17% (for full-time employment). More salary, extra time off, or a combination of both? You are in control.
• 25 vacation days (full-time), with the flexibility to make choices that suit your situation.
• A role with certainty at a stable, sustainable, and listed organization.
• Direct contact with the Management Board and Supervisory Board.
• A challenging role in which governance, organization, and stakeholder management come together.
• A fiscal choice scheme for extras such as a bicycle, gym membership, tablet/smartphone, or products to make your home more sustainable or to repay your student debt in a tax-efficient manner (up to max. €2,000.-).
• IT equipment to perform your work optimally and a travel allowance.
• Flexible working, with a home office allowance and a voucher for your home workspace.

As Corporate Secretary, you are responsible for organizing, coordinating, and monitoring governance within a listed company. You are the pivot between management, supervision, and the organization, ensuring that decision-making proceeds carefully, timely, and in accordance with laws and regulations. You support by advising on legal issues and know which governance processes and formal obligations require attention and when action is needed.
You work largely independently and interface directly with the Management Board and Supervisory Board. This requires a sense of proportion: knowing when to be flexible, but also when to hold someone accountable to an agreement, deadline, or procedure.

• You organize and facilitate meetings of the Supervisory Board, committees, and shareholders' meetings.
• You prepare agendas, collect meeting documents, and handle minutes and action lists.
• You monitor governance processes, legal obligations, and compliance requirements.
• You maintain contact with directors, commissioners, and other important stakeholders.
• You manage the governance calendar and ensure timely follow-up of formal obligations.

You move easily within an administrative environment and know how to handle sensitive information and various interests carefully. You maintain an overview when many things are happening at once, switch smoothly between daily execution and the bigger picture, and sense what a situation requires. You do not need to be in the spotlight, but you do dare to be sharp: you think ahead, hold others to agreements, and know when it is necessary to adjust course.

• You possess a higher professional education (HBO) level of working and thinking, for example, in Law or Business Administration.
• You have experience within governance, corporate affairs, board secretariats, or a similar environment.
• You are administratively sensitive, have integrity, and can handle confidential information.
• You are strong in planning, organizing, and stakeholder management.
• You have excellent command of the Dutch and English languages, both spoken and written.
