  • Assist with regulatory reporting and filings including Form ADV, Form PF, CPO-PR and CPO-PQR, CFTC Form 40, DOL forms, FINRA filings and Canadian regulatory filings.
  • Support SEC examinations and other regulatory inquiries, including coordinating document and information requests.
  • Support oversight of the firm's Code of Ethics and personal trading program, including pre-clearance, holdings, certifications, exceptions and investigations.
  • Provide day-to-day compliance guidance to investment, trading, operations and other business teams.
  • Lead on preparation of annual compliance risk assessment, including identifying emerging compliance risks and enhancements to the firm's compliance framework.
  • Assist the broader Compliance team with ongoing projects, as necessary, which may include regulatory engagement, email surveillance, marketing compliance, conflicts management, compliance training, and preparation of materials for compliance and governance committees.
  • Assist the GC/CCO in maintaining and ensuring a "culture of compliance" of all staff.


Qualifications
  • A minimum of 5 years of asset management industry compliance experience required with an SEC-registered investment adviser.
  • Knowledge of Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Investment Company Act, and CFTC/NFA rules and the compliance obligations applicable to registered investment advisers.
  • Strong policy and procedure drafting skills.
  • Experience with private credit, real estate, provide equity or other private-market strategies strongly preferred.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong judgment, attention to detail and ability to independently manage multiple priorities.
  • Ability to do risk-based compliance analysis, with a practical and commercial approach to problem solving, required
  • Collaborative, team-oriented work ethic and commitment to building an inclusive and diverse team culture required
