About the role

We are seeking a Director of Fund Operations to lead the development and execution of our fund infrastructure. This is a senior, hands-on role that bridges legal, operational, and outside-facing responsibilities, critical to scaling our investment platform.

You will be responsible for operating, designing and implementing fund structures, building scalable investor operations, managing third-party service providers, and solving complex cross-border, investor, legal, and tax challenges. This is not just a fund admin role, we’re looking for someone who can think like a strategist and execute like an operator.

This position is ideal for a sharp, detail-oriented professional with experience in fund formation, middle-office operations, or legal/tax structuring in a private fund environment. You must be a doer, problem solver, and strategic thinker who thrives in a fast-paced, startup environment.

Responsibilities:

1. Fund structuring and operations

• Design, launch, and manage fund vehicles (commingled funds, feeders, blockers, evergreen structures, etc.)
• Work with counsel and tax advisors to structure funds across jurisdictions (US, Cayman, Luxembourg, etc.)
• Collaborate with counsel to refine fund documents (LPAs, side letters, sub docs) and manage legal workflows
• Build SOPs and operational infrastructure for onboarding, capital calls, liquidity, redemptions, and NAV calculations

2. Investor operations

• Lead investor onboarding: KYC/AML, documentation, subscription workflows
• Coordinate capital calls, cash flows, and investor notices
• Serve as point of contact for operational inquiries from LPs and internal teams and lead operation diligence enquiries
• Manage relationships with fund administrators and ensure data accuracy and timeliness

3. Risk, legal, and compliance

• Identify and resolve gaps in fund structures, contracts, and processes to strengthen enforceability and scalability
• Liaise with legal, tax, and compliance teams on regulatory filings, audits, and LP obligations

4. Cross-functional execution

• Collaborate with Investment, Legal, Tech, and Finance teams
• Support fundraising efforts by ensuring operational readiness for new investors or vehicles
• Contribute to regulatory filings, audits, and compliance reviews

Core Qualifications:

• 10+ years of experience in fund operations, fund counsel, or structuring at an investment firm or fund administrator or combination thereof
• Proven track record designing and launching private investment vehicles
• Deep understanding of fund docs (LPAs, sub docs, side letters) and fund mechanics
• Experience working across jurisdictions with legal and tax advisors
• Strong process design and project management skills
• Comfortable interfacing with legal teams, institutional LPs, and internal executives
• Self-starter mindset and willingness to get hands dirty

Bonus Qualifications:

• Experience with Venture Capital and venture secondaries
• Direct experience with evergreen or interval fund structures
• Exposure to NAV-based vehicles or secondary liquidity mechanisms
• Background in fund accounting or controllership is a plus

You’ll be building the operating core of a high-growth investment platform, directly shaping how we raise capital, serve LPs, and scale investments. This is a high-ownership, high-impact role, ideal for someone who wants to architect and execute at once.
