Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) - US

About the position Infra One is a European umbrella fund platform reshaping how emerging infrastructure and venture managers access US capital markets. We host first- and second-time GPs—providing turnkey regulatory and operational infrastructure—enabling managers to launch sub-$250M funds without the burden of building their own full-scope compliance and administrative apparatus. With proven success in Luxembourg and Asia, Infra One is now expanding into the United States, the world's largest and most sophisticated capital markets. The US opportunity is vast: institutional investors—pension funds, family offices, endowments—are increasingly allocating capital to infrastructure and venture strategies, yet emerging GPs struggle to navigate the SEC regulatory landscape and establish operational credibility. Our US platform will democratize access to US institutional capital for exceptional emerging managers globally. This is our moment to scale. This role is one of the four foundational roles that we are hiring for to establish Infra One's US operating platform. These are not narrow, siloed functions. Each role is an architect of the Infra One US operating system—building the regulatory, operational, and financial infrastructure that will enable dozens of GPs to scale with confidence. The Role: Architect of Regulatory Credibility The CCO sits at the intersection of the SEC, Infra One's platform vision, and every GP who will depend on our compliance infrastructure. You are not a compliance checker; you are the designer of the entire regulatory operating system for a European platform entering the most complex financial markets in the world. You will own SEC registration (Form ADV), policy architecture, compliance monitoring across multiple fund vehicles, and the relationship with securities regulators. More broadly, you are Infra One's second-most senior regulatory voice after the US Platform Head, directly shaping strategic decisions about fund structuring, delegation models, and GP onboarding.

Responsibilities

• Lead the SEC registration process as a private fund adviser (Form ADV Part 1A, 1B, and Part 2 Adviser Brochure) and manage ongoing compliance.
• Design and implement written compliance policies covering portfolio management, conflicts of interest, fiduciary duties, custody oversight, and AML/KYC frameworks.
• Conduct annual compliance reviews and testing; prepare SEC examination responses and handle any regulatory inquiries.
• Stay current with evolving SEC private fund rules (Reg PF, current enforcement priorities) and translate them into practical Infra One policies.
• Define staffing, systems, and office infrastructure requirements to meet SEC expectations for "adequate" organizational substance (not formulaic, but credible).
• Establish procedures for monitoring sub-advised GPs and ensuring they comply with fund mandates and risk limits.
• Oversee books and records management (6-year retention, email preservation, trade capture, decision logs) and coordinate with IT on cybersecurity compliance.
• Design and oversee compliance monitoring across Infra One's portfolio of funds (each with its own structure and GP).
• Conduct initial and ongoing due diligence on each GP sub-adviser: qualifications, compliance history, operational capabilities, conflicts of interest.
• Maintain evidence of monitoring (quarterly reviews, compliance testing, incident logs) to demonstrate SEC-level governance.
• Advise the US Platform Head on fund structuring choices (Delaware LP vs. LLC, feeder structures, co-investment), GP selection, and investor eligibility questions.
• Participate in investment committee meetings to flag compliance or regulatory risks early.
• Own conflicts of interest identification and disclosure; ensure all material conflicts are documented and communicated to fund investors.

Requirements

• 7–12 years of compliance experience at a registered investment adviser (RIA), private fund platform, hedge fund, or PE firm.
• Deep knowledge of the Advisers Act, Reg D, Form ADV, and SEC examination standards for private fund advisers.
• Hands-on experience with multi-fund governance, sub-adviser monitoring, and conflicts of interest management.
• Familiarity with custody rules, AML/KYC frameworks, and cybersecurity compliance standards.
• Prior experience with SEC registration, Form ADV filings, and exam cycles.
• Entrepreneurial compliance mindset: you thrive in ambiguity and build frameworks from scratch rather than inheriting them.
• Cross-functional fluency: you speak the language of operations, finance, and legal—not just compliance.
• Practical and proportionate: you understand when regulation requires substance and when it allows flexibility.
• Communicator: you can distill complex regulatory requirements into actionable policy for non-compliance teams.

Nice-to-haves

• Prior exposure to European fund regulation (Luxembourg, Ireland) or multi-jurisdictional platforms.
• CPA, JD, or CFA; CCEP (Certified Compliance and Ethics Professional) is a plus.
• Exposure to infrastructure or venture fund management.

Benefits

• Location: Remote (preferred US timezone overlap with San Francisco HQ)
• Salary Range: $200,000–$280,000 base + 20% bonus
• Equity: TBD (0.1%–0.3% depending on background)
• Reports to: US Platform Head / Managing Director
• Hiring Timeline: Month 0–1
