Corporate Secretary

Shape Governance. Strengthen Accountability. Influence at the Highest Level.

Trinidad Generation Unlimited (TGU) is seeking an accomplished legal and governance professional to serve as Corporate Secretary and principal governance adviser to its Board of Directors.

This is more than a traditional Company Secretary role. You will work closely with the Board, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Leadership Team, providing trusted governance and legal advice, strengthening Board effectiveness and ensuring that governance decisions translate into timely organisational action.

The Opportunity

As Corporate Secretary, you will:

  • Advise the Board and its Committees on corporate governance, statutory and regulatory matters.
  • Enable effective Board and Committee operations and informed decision-making.
  • Strengthen governance frameworks, policies and practices.
  • Ensure statutory, regulatory and governance obligations are met.
  • Track Board decisions and strengthen accountability for implementation.
  • Anticipate governance and legal risks and provide practical, solutions-focused advice.
  • Build trusted relationships with Directors, Executive Management, shareholders, regulators and other key stakeholders.
  • Promote transparency, ethical leadership and continuous improvement in governance.

What We’re Looking For

We are seeking a governance professional who combines legal expertise with strategic thinking, executive presence and sound judgement.

You should be able to influence without formal authority, challenge respectfully, navigate complex and sensitive matters with diplomacy, and operate with the highest standards of integrity, independence and confidentiality.

Qualifications & Experience

You should possess:

  • Bachelor of Laws (LLB) or equivalent.
  • Admission to practise as an Attorney-at-Law in Trinidad and Tobago.
  • Legal Education Certificate (LEC) or recognised equivalent.
  • Membership in good standing with the Law Association of Trinidad and Tobago.
  • At least 3–5 years’ post-qualification experience in corporate, commercial, governance or regulatory law.
  • Strong knowledge of corporate governance, company law, statutory compliance and Board governance.

A Chartered Governance Institute qualification, formal governance certification, experience supporting Boards, state enterprise exposure or experience with international governance or listed-debt obligations would be advantageous.

Who Will Thrive?

You will thrive in this role if you are:

Ethical. Trusted. Strategic. Professional.

You think ahead, exercise independent judgement, build credibility quickly and understand that exceptional governance is not simply about compliance—it is about enabling better decisions, stronger accountability and organisational performance.

Make Governance Matter

If you are ready to move beyond traditional corporate secretarial administration and become a trusted adviser influencing governance at Board level, we invite you to apply.

Join TGU and help shape the governance practices that support the long-term success of one of Trinidad and Tobago’s most strategically important organisations.
