This is a rare opportunity to join a highly esteemed asset manager. You will report directly to the global head of conflict resolution and play a pivotal role in all compliance and regulatory affairs.

  • Identify and escalate potential transactional conflicts.
  • Propose or implement solutions for conflicts of interest.
  • Oversee wall-crossing requests and review trade pre-clearances.
  • Assist with personal trading pre-clearances as necessary.
  • Draft and coordinate comprehensive responses to regulatory examinations.

Candidate Profile

  • 10+ years of experience in a major financial services organization, including roles in conflict management or relevant legal and compliance functions.
  • Experience in responding to regulatory inquiries and examinations.
  • Experience in a buy-side institution is advantageous but not mandatory.
  • Strong analytical skills and the ability to identify issues effectively.
  • Exceptional communication skills, demonstrating initiative, creativity, and motivation.
  • Capability to work autonomously as well as collaboratively within a team.

Compensation and Benefits

  • Highly competitive six-figure salary.
  • Flexible working arrangements (4 days in the office, 1 day remote).
  • Attractive bonus structure.

This is an exceptional opportunity at a leading institution for a senior professional eager to take on a focused role on a global scale.
