Head of Risk & Compliance

We are seeking a highly experienced, detail-driven Head of Risk & Compliance to design, implement and oversee a robust risk management and regulatory framework for a multi‑asset, cross‑jurisdiction investment structure. This leader will act as the internal authority on governance, operational risk, investment risk, reporting requirements, and compliance across entities, assets and geographies.

The ideal candidate operates with discretion, sound judgement and a calm, solutions‑oriented mindset—ensuring that the preservation of capital, ethical conduct and regulatory alignment sit at the core of every decision.

• Establish and maintain a comprehensive risk management framework aligned with the family’s investment strategy and risk tolerance.
• Monitor and evaluate financial, operational, market and counter party risks across asset classes including public markets, private equity, real estate and alternatives.
• Build and manage compliance processes for AML/KYC, FATCA/CRS, data privacy and relevant jurisdictional regulations.
• Conduct ongoing risk assessment, stress‑testing, and scenario analysis; report findings to the Principal and Investment Committee.
• Oversee investment policy documentation, governance procedures and internal controls.
• Ensure external managers, custodians and counter parties meet required standards.
• Lead internal and external audits, regulatory filings and incident management.
• Work closely with investment, legal, tax and finance teams to ensure risk is appropriately considered in all decisions.
• Provide clear, proactive reporting—including dashboards, risk exposure analytics and compliance updates.

• 8–15+ years in risk management, compliance, asset management, or financial services.
• Prior experience within a family office, bank, hedge fund, private equity firm or regulated investment environment highly advantageous.
• Deep understanding of global regulatory frameworks, AML/KYC, privacy requirements and governance best practice.
• Strong analytical capabilities with experience applying risk methodology to multi‑asset portfolios.
• Exceptional ethical standards, confidentiality and attention to detail.
• Professional certifications such as CFA, FRM, CAIA, ICA or legal qualification preferred.
