RemoteRemoteFinance$200k–$280k/yrFull-time

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the SEC registration process as a private fund adviser (Form ADV Part 1A, 1B, and Part 2 Adviser Brochure) and manage ongoing compliance.
  • Design and implement written compliance policies covering portfolio management, conflicts of interest, fiduciary duties, custody oversight, and AML/KYC frameworks.
  • Conduct annual compliance reviews and testing; prepare SEC examination responses and handle any regulatory inquiries.
  • Stay current with evolving SEC private fund rules (Reg PF, current enforcement priorities) and translate them into practical Infra One policies.
  • Define staffing, systems, and office infrastructure requirements to meet SEC expectations for "adequate" organizational substance (not formulaic, but credible).
  • Establish procedures for monitoring sub-advised GPs and ensuring they comply with fund mandates and risk limits.
  • Oversee books and records management (6-year retention, email preservation, trade capture, decision logs) and coordinate with IT on cybersecurity compliance.
  • Design and oversee compliance monitoring across Infra One's portfolio of funds (each with its own structure and GP).
  • Conduct initial and ongoing due diligence on each GP sub-adviser: qualifications, compliance history, operational capabilities, conflicts of interest.
  • Maintain evidence of monitoring (quarterly reviews, compliance testing, incident logs) to demonstrate SEC-level governance.
  • Advise the US Platform Head on fund structuring choices (Delaware LP vs. LLC, feeder structures, co-investment), GP selection, and investor eligibility questions.
  • Participate in investment committee meetings to flag compliance or regulatory risks early.
  • Own conflicts of interest identification and disclosure; ensure all material conflicts are documented and communicated to fund investors.

What You Bring

  • Experience & Expertise
  • - 7–12 years of compliance experience at a registered investment adviser (RIA), private fund platform, hedge fund, or PE firm.
  • - Deep knowledge of the Advisers Act, Reg D, Form ADV, and SEC examination standards for private fund advisers.
  • - Hands-on experience with multi-fund governance, sub-adviser monitoring, and conflicts of interest management.
  • - Familiarity with custody rules, AML/KYC frameworks, and cybersecurity compliance standards.
  • - Prior experience with SEC registration, Form ADV filings, and exam cycles.
  • Mindset & Approach
  • - Entrepreneurial compliance mindset: you thrive in ambiguity and build frameworks from scratch rather than inheriting them.
  • - Cross-functional fluency: you speak the language of operations, finance, and legal—not just compliance.
  • - Practical and proportionate: you understand when regulation requires substance and when it allows flexibility.
  • - Communicator: you can distill complex regulatory requirements into actionable policy for non-compliance teams.
  • Nice to Have
  • - Prior exposure to European fund regulation (Luxembourg, Ireland) or multi-junctional platforms.
  • - CPA, JD, or CFA; CCEP (Certified Compliance and Ethics Professional) is a plus.
  • - Exposure to infrastructure or venture fund management.
