• Support share-related corporate actions including share transfers, allotments, buybacks/cancellations, share splits/reorganisations and new share classes
• Prepare and file relevant forms (e.g., SH01, SH03, SH06, SH08) and ensure registers/cap tables reflect the changes
• Produce and maintain share capital tables and group structure/organisation charts as requires
• Prepare shareholder documents such as dividend vouchers when needed

Venture capital and employee scheme support

• Assist with employee equity scheme administration and reporting (e.g., EMI, ERS) and related submissions/documentation (including Val231 support)

Additional filings & ad-hoc compliance

• Assist with specialist registrations and occasional one-off filings (e.g., wholesaler/alcohol-related registrations where relevant)
• Coordinate overseas filings by liaising with local agents/advisers and keeping internal records aligned

Experience supporting EMI/ERS reporting or similar compliance work
