Our client is an emerging private-markets investment platform focused on infrastructure themes linked to digital transformation and the energy transition.

They are seeking a hands-on Head of Fund Operations & Compliance to build and oversee the operational, governance, financial-control, and compliance framework supporting the platform’s launch and early investment activity.

This is a senior ownership role, not a fund-administration processing position. Although specialist functions are outsourced, you will be accountable for provider performance, operating controls, regulatory readiness, and institutional-quality reporting.

Responsibilities

  • Lead operational launch planning, milestones, budgets, risk tracking, governance processes, and issue escalation.

  • Oversee external providers across fund administration, legal, tax, audit, banking, custody, valuation, insurance, and technology.

  • Maintain operational compliance frameworks, licensing obligations, cross-border controls, conflicts management, registers, and board reporting.

  • Manage management-company finance, cash forecasting, payment controls, expense allocation, insurance, and internal reporting.

  • Coordinate fund and vehicle setup, bank accounts, investor onboarding, AML/KYC, capital activity, closings, distributions, and investor reporting.

  • Develop operational policies, institutional DDQ materials, control evidence, data governance, cybersecurity, and business-continuity processes.

  • Partner with investment professionals and advisers on transaction execution, closing operations, and portfolio reporting.

Requirements

  • 10 - 15 years’ experience in private funds operations, fund finance, compliance, or regulated investment-management platforms.

  • Proven experience managing outsourced operating models and holding professional-service providers accountable.

  • Strong understanding of Australian fund-management, compliance, and licensing requirements; cross-border or offshore fund-structure exposure is beneficial.

  • Experience with fund launches, investor onboarding, capital activity, transaction closings, audits, board packs, and institutional operational due diligence.

  • Commercial judgement, excellent organisation, and a detail-oriented, proactive approach to risk escalation.
