Associate,Compliance

About the role

We are hiring a Compliance Associate to anchor the fund compliance function within our India GCC. This is a foundational hire in a newly established compliance team - not a process-running seat in a mature function. The successful candidate will own the day-to-day execution of fund and regulatory compliance for the firm's private credit and private equity strategies, while also contributing to the design and continuous improvement of the compliance framework itself. This role reports into US-based senior compliance leadership with India CoE oversight, and partners closely with investment, legal, operations, and technology teams across the firm. It is positioned for someone who wants to operate in a global compliance function with real ownership, exposure to US regulatory matters, and the opportunity to shape how the function is built from the ground up.

Responsibilities

• Access control and entitlement reviews. You will own periodic employee access reviews across the firm's critical systems - coordinating with IT and business owners to validate user permissions, recertify access, and remediate exceptions in line with the access governance framework.
• Function build-out. Beyond the operational scope above, you will contribute to the design and continuous improvement of the compliance programme itself - refining controls, authoring policies and procedures, and partnering with the Process Intelligence team on compliance automation initiatives.

Requirements

• Required experience:
• 5 to 8 years of compliance experience within asset management, alternative investments, or financial services
• Direct exposure to fund or investment compliance - conflicts of interest, allocation review, investment guideline monitoring, or similar
• Working knowledge of SEC and FINRA regulations as they apply to investment advisers - either through direct experience in a US-regulated entity or through supporting a US-regulated affiliate from offshore
• Experience with at least one of the following: third-party / vendor risk management, trade surveillance, or access control reviews
• Strong written communication and the discipline to own a periodic reporting cadence with multiple internal and external stakeholders
• Detail orientation combined with the judgment to know when a flag is real versus noise
• Strongly preferred:
• Private equity or private credit compliance experience, including familiarity with fund structures (LP/GP, parallel funds, feeder funds)
• Exposure to Form ADV, Form PF, or equivalent regulatory filings
• Hands-on experience with compliance monitoring or
