Job Description

The challenge

Youre not here to file paperwork. Youre here to keep corporate governance running across multiple entities, jurisdictions, and regulatory frameworks—where a missed deadline triggers compliance issues, where incomplete board minutes create legal exposure, and where poorly maintained records fail audits. Youll manage processes that others depend on and catch errors before they become problems.

AI can draft minutes and organize documents. Only you can ensure compliance across entities and make judgment calls when requirements conflict.

Why this matters

Derivs mission is Trading for Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime. Operating globally means managing corporate governance across multiple jurisdictions with different requirements. Your work ensures we stay compliant, maintain proper records, and pass audits.

Youre not supporting governance. Youre making sure it works when regulators, auditors, and stakeholders need proof that were doing things properly.

Why Deriv

Real ownership of systems. Youll have the chance to lead the governance function, not just execute tasks. You make decisions about processes and improve how things work.
AI tools that remove busywork. Were building AI to handle document drafting, filing, and scheduling—so you focus on quality control and complex judgment calls. Youll also help decide what we automate next.
Learn across business functions. Youll work with other subteams in compliance and even inter-team such as finance. Youll understand how governance connects to business decisions.
Support when you need it. Youll collaborate with other seniors and team leads to solve blockers and share knowledge across the team.

What youll do

Provide comprehensive executive administrative support. Youll provide comprehensive executive administrative support to the team, acting as a key pillar for the Corporate Governance Team and Compliance department.
Drive the full lifecycle of Board proceedings. Youll meticulously prepare agendas and Board Packs, finalize resolutions, meeting minutes, and notices for Trading and Holding entities.
Prepare, organize, and file statutory documents. Youll prepare, organize, and file important statutory documents and reports meticulously, including post-meeting compliances for all minutes.
Maintain accurate records. Youll maintain accurate digital and physical records, ensuring all registers (Minutes, Directors, Shareholders) are kept up to date through monthly spot checks.
Liaise with teams and service providers. Youll liaise with various internal teams and external service providers, managing requests related to companies within and outside of the Deriv Group.
Supervise team members. Youll supervise team members by performing reviews.
Conduct screening and risk assessments. Youll conduct screening escalations via screening tools and review Risk Assessments.
Lead governance and compliance projects. Youll lead and achieve goals for specific corporate governance and wider regulatory compliance projects.
Facilitate professional growth. Youll facilitate professional growth within the team by scheduling knowledge-sharing sessions, refresher training, and overseeing the onboarding of new team members.
Utilize and suggest AI tools. Youll utilize and proactively suggest new AI tools to enhance document management, corporate governance systems, and scheduling efficiency.

Who you are

You have solid administrative experience. 5+ years in office administration or a similar support role. You know how to keep operations running smoothly.
Youre organized and detail-oriented. Strong organizational skills and meticulous attention to detail. You catch errors before they become problems.
Youre comfortable with technology. Proficient in Microsoft Office and comfortable learning new software. You adapt to new tools quickly.
You communicate clearly. Strong communication skills for working with internal teams and external service providers.
Youre proactive and dependable. You manage projects without constant supervision and deliver on commitments.
You want to keep learning. Strong desire for continuous learning and professional development within a team setting.

The honest reality

This is demanding work. Youll manage multiple deadlines across different entities and jurisdictions. Board meetings dont wait, compliance deadlines are fixed, and auditors expect complete documentation. Some weeks will have competing priorities.

Corporate governance work means attention to detail matters constantly. A missed filing, an incomplete minute, or a poorly maintained register creates real problems. Youll need to stay organized and catch issues before they escalate.

But youll own systems that keep the company compliant. Youll supervise team members and help them grow. And youll see your work enable business decisions that move the company forward.

If you want predictable, low-stakes administrative work, this isnt it. But if you want to lead governance operations—keep reading.
