[Hiring] Chief Compliance Officer @Allocator One Group

Role Description

This role is one of the four foundational roles that we are hiring for to establish Infra One's US operating platform. These are not narrow, siloed functions. Each role is an architect of the Infra One US operating system—building the regulatory, operational, and financial infrastructure that will enable dozens of GPs to scale with confidence.

The Role: Architect of Regulatory Credibility

The CCO sits at the intersection of the SEC, Infra One's platform vision, and every GP who will depend on our compliance infrastructure. You are not a compliance checker; you are the designer of the entire regulatory operating system for a European platform entering the most complex financial markets in the world.

You will own SEC registration (Form ADV), policy architecture, compliance monitoring across multiple fund vehicles, and the relationship with securities regulators. More broadly, you are Infra One's second-most senior regulatory voice after the US Platform Head, directly shaping strategic decisions about fund structuring, delegation models, and GP onboarding.

Key Responsibilities

• Regulatory Foundation
  • Lead the SEC registration process as a private fund adviser (Form ADV Part 1A, 1B, and Part 2 Adviser Brochure) and manage ongoing compliance.
  • Design and implement written compliance policies covering portfolio management, conflicts of interest, fiduciary duties, custody oversight, and AML/KYC frameworks.
  • Conduct annual compliance reviews and testing; prepare SEC examination responses and handle any regulatory inquiries.
  • Stay current with evolving SEC private fund rules (Reg PF, current enforcement priorities) and translate them into practical Infra One policies.
• Operational Substance
  • Define staffing, systems, and office infrastructure requirements to meet SEC expectations for "adequate" organizational substance (not formulaic, but credible).
  • Establish procedures for monitoring sub-advised GPs and ensuring they comply with fund mandates and risk limits.
  • Oversee books and records management (6-year retention, email preservation, trade capture, decision logs) and coordinate with IT on cybersecurity compliance.
• Multi-Fund Governance
  • Design and oversee compliance monitoring across Infra One's portfolio of funds (each with its own structure and GP).
  • Conduct initial and ongoing due diligence on each GP sub-adviser: qualifications, compliance history, operational capabilities, conflicts of interest.
  • Maintain evidence of monitoring (quarterly reviews, compliance testing, incident logs) to demonstrate SEC-level governance.
• Advisor to Platform
  • Advise the US Platform Head on fund structuring choices (Delaware LP vs. LLC, feeder structures, co-investment), GP selection, and investor eligibility questions.
  • Participate in investment committee meetings to flag compliance or regulatory risks early.
  • Own conflicts of interest identification and disclosure; ensure all material conflicts are documented and communicated to fund investors.

Qualifications

• 7–12 years of compliance experience at a registered investment adviser (RIA), private fund platform, hedge fund, or PE firm.
• Deep knowledge of the Advisers Act, Reg D, Form ADV, and SEC examination standards for private fund advisers.
• Hands-on experience with multi-fund governance, sub-adviser monitoring, and conflicts of interest management.
• Familiarity with custody rules, AML/KYC frameworks, and cybersecurity compliance standards.
• Prior experience with SEC registration, Form ADV filings, and exam cycles.

Requirements

• Entrepreneurial compliance mindset: you thrive in ambiguity and build frameworks from scratch rather than inheriting them.
• Cross-functional fluency: you speak the language of operations, finance, and legal—not just compliance.
• Practical and proportionate: you understand when regulation requires substance and when it allows flexibility.
• Communicator: you can distill complex regulatory requirements into actionable policy for non-compliance teams.

Nice to Have

• Prior exposure to European fund regulation (Luxembourg, Ireland) or multi-jurisdictional platforms.
• CPA, JD, or CFA; CCEP (Certified Compliance and Ethics Professional) is a plus.
• Exposure to infrastructure or venture fund management.

Benefits

• Location: Remote (preferred US timezone overlap with San Francisco HQ)
• Salary Range: $200,000–$280,000 base + 20% bonus
• Equity: TBD (0.1%–0.3% depending on background)
• Reports to: US Platform Head / Managing Director
• Hiring Timeline: Month 0–1

Why This Role Matters

The CCO is Infra One's regulatory anchor. Without credible, well-documented compliance infrastructure, no GP will trust the platform, and no institutional LP will commit capital. You are building the proof of competence that enables scale.

Why Infra One

• Leverage: Build a compliance framework once, then deploy it across dozens of GPs. Your work scales exponentially.
• Autonomy: Full ownership of the compliance operating system; direct input into platform strategy and GP selection.
• Visibility: Reporting directly to the MD; participation in investment decisions and board discussions.
• Global impact: Help reshape how emerging infrastructure and venture managers access US capital.
• Equity upside: Early-stage role with meaningful equity stake in a platform targeting the largest capital markets in the world.
