The candidate should be well versed in laws and regulations applicable to the private funds industry and will be expected to partner closely with the business, including product, finance, operations, compliance and other colleagues. In addition, the ideal candidate will have experience and be comfortable advising and presenting at board level and managing regulatory interactions.
