This international investment management firm manages over US$100Bn for sophisticated investors across the globe.  The firm offers a range of absolute return, co-investment, financing and customised mandates utilising equity, fixed-income and derivative instruments. The firm has ambitious plans for growth in Sydney and has already raised funds locally and expanded their existing operation.  The business is now looking for a Compliance Director to help manage this growth and add rigor to the regulatory and compliance environment.

Reporting to the Global Head of Compliance and with a dotted line to the Australian Managing Director, this role will be responsible for the development, administration, maintenance and oversight of the firm’s compliance program.  You will develop and implement policies and procedures in line with APRA and ASIC regulations and manage the firm’s relationship with these bodies.  As the operations of the firm develop you will be consistently challenged to both grow the compliance environment and continue to manage the existing arrangements.  The position will also require you to provide an advisory service to management and the Global Head around solutions on compliance and the specifics of the Australian regulatory framework.

You will have a well developed compliance background, ideally with investment management and product distribution experience.  In particular exposure to fixed income, separate accounts, private investment funds, structured products, retail mutual funds, bank loans, corporate securities and quantitative funds.  Exposure to US securities laws would be perceived positively.
