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.

- - Familiarity with custody rules, AML/KYC frameworks, and cybersecurity compliance standards.

- - Communicator: you can distill complex regulatory requirements into actionable policy for non-compliance teams.
- Nice to Have
