Full job description
What it's about
We are looking for a senior, experienced AML senior professional with deep asset management or private markets experience to join our team as AML Senior Lead. You will serve as a senior pillar of the AML function (composed of Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Assets (KYA) aspects) – owning complex casework, driving operational excellence, and acting as a trusted escalation point for the most sensitive and high-profile matters across the firm's investor and asset base. You will bring strong leadership capabilities, with a demonstrated ability to develop and guide junior team members, and the drive and organizational acumen to lead complex projects across multiple jurisdictions and time zones.
This role is for someone who has built their career inside a private markets manager or an asset management business and who combines legal precision with the confidence to make consequential judgement calls, lead a team and engage credibly at the most senior levels of a global organization.
Key responsibilities
Leadership and judgement
Act as the senior escalation point for complex, high-risk or strategically significant KYC and KYA cases, including those involving flagship clients, high profile investors, and sensitive asset situations
Exercise independent legal and compliance judgement on the most challenging matters – layered ownership structures, cross-border investors, atypical asset profiles – reaching clear, compliant conclusions under pressure and within tight timeframes
Drive a culture of analytical rigor and ownership across the team, setting the standard for quality and consistency of output
Global Project Leadership
Lead and drive global KYC and KYA projects end-to-end – from scoping and design through to implementation and post-implementation review – coordinating effectively across jurisdictions, time zones and business lines
Drive the digitalization and automation of due diligence workflows globally, engaging substantively with service providers and technology teams
Stakeholder engagement
Engage directly and credibly with senior internal stakeholders – including members of the Executive Team, investment teams, marketing teams and key service providers – on material CDD and KYA matters
Represent the function in senior governance forums, preparing and presenting clear, authoritative positions to boards, committees and regulators
Build trusted relationships with investment teams, marketing teams, boards and committees, ensuring KYC and KYA requirements are understood and embedded without becoming a barrier to business
Optimize service provider performance by establishing clear performance expectations and enforcing accountability for quality, accuracy, and turnaround time.
Strong oversight of service providers is critical, as KYC and KYA activities are delivered through outsourced partners.
Policy Framework and Operations
Own the design and continuous improvement of KYC and KYA policies, procedures, and risk frameworks ensuring alignment with AML/CFT/CFP regulations, FATF guidance, regulatory expectations and internal risk appetite, while also transforming the business to harness the potential of digitalization and AI in the AML space
Monitor and interpret regulatory developments – including regulatory communications and FATF typologies – and translate these into timely, practical policy and operational changes.
What we expect
12+ years of post-qualification experience in asset management and/or private markets and regulatory and/or compliance roles, ideally a qualified lawyer
Proven ability to handle high-stakes escalations and make independent, well-reasoned judgement calls on complex matters involving important clients or sensitive situations
Track record of engaging confidently and effective with Executive Committee-level stakeholders, investment leadership and external regulators
Deep knowledge of AML/CFT regulatory frameworks and their application within the private markets investment context: KYA experience is a strong differentiator
Sharp analytical skills: able to decompose complex legal and ownership structures, identify risk, and deliver clear conclusions
Proven project management capability across multi-stakeholder, cross-functional initiatives
Digitally fluent, tech-savvy and AI enthusiast – able to engage meaningfully with compliance technology platforms, workflow tools and data environments and leverage the opportunities AI can bring to the table
Authoritative communicator: clear, structured and persuasive in both written and verbal form; able to hold a position under scrutiny
What sets the best candidates apart
Familiarity with Luxembourg, Guernsey, Cayman fund domicile frameworks
Experience with fund structures including SCSp, RAIF, SICAV-RAIF, and SMA arrangements
Prior ownership of transformation roles, strategic systems implementation and excellent leadership skills
AI fluent, able to translate fast-moving AI developments into clear business opportunity and action
