About the Role
Build and own the operating model that lets Fund II run and scale, including governance, providers, valuations, reporting, and fund launch. As the most senior operations hire, you will own the back and middle office end-to-end, building the team beneath you while working with outsourced partners for specialist functions.
Responsibilities
- Design and stand up the operating model, leading operations through to fund launch and close, with foundations built for a larger, institutional future fund.
- Own governance and oversee outsourced providers across fund administration, accounting, compliance, AIFM oversight, legal, audit, and valuation support.
- Run the operational workstream of the raise: LP onboarding, KYC/AML, subscription documents, side letters, and the data room through to close.
- Manage treasury and banking relationships, including cash management, FX exposure, and capital call/distribution mechanics.
- Own the valuations policy and reporting cadence to investors and internal stakeholders.
- Hire and lead the operations team, starting with an Investor Relations Manager and a Fund Operations Manager, delivering institutional quality servicing while staying lean.
- Select and implement core technology, CRM, portfolio monitoring, document management, and data security, so systems scale with AUM without a proportional rise in headcount.
Requirements
- Senior operations leadership in a fund environment (venture, private equity, or asset management), ideally including a fund launch or a step change in AUM.
- Strong working knowledge of fund administration, AIFM and compliance, valuations, audit, and investor reporting.
- Proven experience selecting and managing external providers.
- A builder who can create structure from scratch and lead a small, high-calibre team.
- High trust, low ego and comfortable working hands-on in a fast-moving, founder-led business.
- Experience building operating infrastructure.
- Balances institutional rigor with a lean, pragmatic mindset.
- Happy being hands-on today while building the team for tomorrow.
- Senior operations experience within a fund environment, ideally including a launch or major AUM step change.
- Deep familiarity with fund administration, compliance, valuations, and investor reporting.
- A track record building operations functions and teams from the ground up.
