Full job description

Infra One provides a fully managed foundation that handles fund creation and operations from day one. We are already live and serving in the UK, US, Austria, Germany and launching Singapore, India and Luxembourg imminently.


Allocator One backs exceptional first and second-time fund managers around the world—acting as “seed-investor + platform” for emerging VC funds.


Together, we deliver both the capital and the structure fund managers need—and in doing so build a global ecosystem of platforms, people, and ideas that reshape private markets.


This role is required to oversee the regulatory compliance and risk obligations of the UK entity, with a particular focus on building out and overseeing our appointed representatives.


Tasks


As Head of Compliance & Risk, you will own the firm's regulatory framework end-to-end and act as the senior compliance voice in the business. This is a hands on role for someone who wants to shape the function, not inherit a finished one.


You will:



  • Drive the firm's FCA authorisation process forward, working with our external consultants, owning the application, the regulatory business plan, and engagement with the FCA through to permissions.

  • Hold the SMF16 (Compliance Oversight) and SMF17 (Money Laundering Reporting Officer) functions, with full accountability under the Senior Managers & Certification Regime.

  • Build and run the oversight framework for the firm's appointed representatives onboarding, due diligence, ongoing monitoring, and ensuring each AR operates within the firm's permissions and standards.

  • Own and continuously improve the firm's policies, procedures, and compliance monitoring programme.

  • Design and deliver compliance and financial crime training across the business.

  • Lead the firm's risk management framework, identifying, assessing, and mitigating regulatory and operational risk.

  • Serve as the primary point of contact with the FCA and act as a trusted adviser to senior management on regulatory matters.


Requirements


What you bring



  • Prior experience at a principal/ host firm, with direct responsibility for the oversight of appointed representatives.

  • Ideally, previous experience holding SMF16 and SMF17 (or readiness to be approved for both).

  • Deep, current knowledge of the FCA Handbook, SM&CR, the AR regime (including the FCA's enhanced AR rules), and financial crime / AML obligations.

  • A track record of taking firms through FCA authorisation or significant variations of permission.

  • Experience in fund management (ideally private funds), fund administration, or financial services more broadly.

  • A pragmatic, commercial mindset: you build proportionate frameworks that protect the firm without slowing it down.

  • The judgement and gravitas to be the senior compliance voice in a growing, fast-moving business.


Benefits


Why Infra One



  • Ownership from day one. You will build the function and the framework, not maintain someone else's.

  • A senior, operator led team that takes compliance seriously because we run the regulated activity ourselves.

  • A genuinely global business with the UK at the centre of our next phase.

  • The chance to shape how regulatory hosting is done for the next generation of fund managers.

Location: London (hybrid)
