Job Details:
****Application deadline: 10thNovember, 2015****
This role reports to the Group Legal Director
Context/Scope:
The role reports directly to the Group Legal Director but has many significant cross-functional interactions and mutual dependencies in EABL.
The role interacts directly with the Group Managing Director of EABL and the Chairman of the Board as part of its governance responsibility.
The role is part of the wider Global Company Secretary and Global Legal Functions.
Purpose of role:
The Company Secretary has a wide range of responsibilities in relation to corporate governance and compliance and general company secretarial issues. EABL takes a leadership role in the area of corporate governance and this applies as much to its subsidiaries as for Diageo plc. The Company secretary is responsible for all aspects of compliance, corporate governance and board meeting support for all of Diageo’s companies in Ireland. The role is varied which will necessitate very good prioritization skills.
Market Complexity:
EABL operates within a multi-cultural, multi-national, multi-currency environment. EABL comprises integrated supply and demand businesses in Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya as well as exports businesses into South Sudan, Rwanda, Burundi and elsewhere.
EABL has differing market shares in its beer and spirits businesses in different markets, which are therefore subject to a variety of regulatory regimes, some of which are more developed than others. This requires detailed understanding of the company’s different risk profiles and the context of each market and its regulatory environment.
As part of a multi-national corporate group such as Diageo plc, EABL is subject to additional external and internal requirements than other local companies.
Significant challenges arise from a sometimes unpredictable legislative and judicial system due in part to insufficiency of legislation, untested law and often political and societal pressures.
