It also says the job reports into the legal and governance function, under the Head Legal and Board Secretary and the Manager Legal and Governance. (jobs4bw.com) A company secretary is the officer who keeps a board’s paperwork, decisions and legal filings in order. In this case, the bank’s advert shows that work includes the mechanics of board meetings and the follow-through after directors vote. (jobs4bw.com) That matters at Botswana Savings Bank because the institution is not a private startup or a small lender. The bank says it was created by the Botswana Savings Bank Act of 1992 and is wholly owned by the Government of Botswana. (bsb.bw) Botswana Savings Bank’s own corporate material says the board reports to the Ministry of Finance. Its website currently lists six directors, led by chairperson Goitsemang Morekisi. (bsb.bw 1) (bsb.bw 2) The advert also sets the bar below a law degree. Applicants need a diploma in law, corporate governance, secretarial services, business administration or an equivalent field, plus skills in planning, discretion, stakeholder management and communication. (jobs4bw.com) The bank’s public filings show why governance staffing is not a side issue. Botswana Savings Bank publishes annual reports, audited financial statements and quarterly Pillar 3 disclosures, the regulatory reports banks use to show capital, risk and related controls. (bsb.bw 1) (bsb.bw 2) The posting does not present the role as ceremonial support. It describes a senior governance support job with direct responsibility for board papers, minutes, compliance records and director processes, and applications close on April 27. (jobs4bw.com)
