Corporate Legal Assistant

Corporate Legal Assistant

The opportunity

TCR has grown into a world leader in Ground Support Equipment, and that growth brings more entities, more corporate activity and an increasing need for strong governance. For you, that means an opportunity to join our developing legal function and take real ownership of the processes that keep our corporate organisation running smoothly.

Reporting directly to the Head of Legal, you will work closely with a small legal team, executive team of the company and senior stakeholders across the business. You will bring structure to corporate records and governance activities, keep important actions moving (such as approval processes) and help us improve the way we work.

You do not need to have legal education to make an impact in this role. We are looking for practical experience, sound judgement and a structured way of working. Your background could be in a legal team, notary office, corporate governance, company secretarial, corporate administration or an executive-support role with meaningful governance exposure.

Mission of the role

Bring structure, reliability and ownership to TCR's corporate governance activities. You will ensure records are accurate, deadlines and approvals stay on track and open actions are followed through.

As you grow into the role, you will also have the opportunity to deepen your company-secretarial experience through areas such as board support and preparation of minutes.

Key accountabilities

You will play a central role in keeping our corporate governance organised, reliable and moving forward. You will:

• Own our corporate records, registers and trackers, making sure information is accurate, up to date and easy to find.
• Keep governance activities on track, coordinating deadlines, filings, resolutions, signatures and approvals from start to finish.
• Coordinate board and shareholder documentation, ensuring materials are accurate and ready when needed.
• Create visibility and momentum, keeping track of open actions and proactively following up with stakeholders.
• Support legal workflows across areas such as contracts, licences, litigation, real estate, data protection, insurance and compliance.
• Support M&A activities when needed, including due diligence, data rooms and post-closing follow-up.
• Improve how we work, documenting processes and helping create smarter, more consistent ways of managing legal and governance activities.
• Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders and understand the wider business context behind the matters you support.

What success looks like

In your first 3 months

You will have learned how our corporate organisation works and taken ownership of your first activities:

• You know the group's legal entity structure and, for each entity in your scope, where to find its articles of association, registers, directors and authorised signatories, and powers of attorney.
• You have checked our entity records and trackers against the public registers (e.g. the Belgian Crossroads Bank for Enterprises and UK Companies House) and flagged any gaps or inconsistencies to the Head of Legal.
• You have taken over the corporate housekeeping calendar, including upcoming annual general meetings, approval and filing of accounts, and other statutory deadlines.
• You have coordinated your first board or shareholder resolutions end to end, from drafting and signature to filing and archiving.
• You know your key contacts in Commercial, Finance, Tax and HR, and the notaries, corporate service providers and law firms we work with.

After 6 months

You are the go-to person for corporate governance activities within your scope:

• Entity records, registers and trackers for your scope are complete and up to date, with changes recorded promptly after each corporate event (e.g. appointment or resignation of directors, changes of signatories or registered office).
• The annual corporate cycle for your entities (board approval of accounts, annual general meetings, filing of accounts and UBO register updates) runs on schedule, with no missed deadlines.
• Board and shareholder packs, resolutions and signature rounds are prepared and circulated on time, and signed documents are filed and archived without the team needing to chase.
• You circulate a regular (e.g. monthly) status update on open governance actions, showing what is pending, with whom and by when.
• You have documented at least two recurring processes (e.g. appointing a director, granting a power of attorney) and proposed practical improvements.

After 12 months

You have established yourself as a trusted owner of the corp
