Job Description

We’re partnering with a global asset manager that’s actively growing its anti-financial crime (AFC) function in New York. They’re hiring an AVP-level Compliance Officer to focus on alternative investments —someone who understands the complexities of private funds, real estate structures, and cross-border vehicles, and who can act as a trusted advisor to the business. If you have a background in compliance or financial crime prevention and exposure to the alternative investment space, this is a chance to step into a visible, strategic role. Why This Role? This isn’t a back-office compliance job. You’ll work closely with investment professionals, legal, and other compliance teams to assess and manage financial crime risk at the product level. From real estate funds to Cayman-based vehicles, you’ll support risk assessments, advise on onboarding of new products, and act as a key point of contact between the business and the anti-financial crime function. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys building cross-functional relationships, thinking critically about risk, and contributing to high-impact compliance initiatives. You’ll report into senior leadership and be part of a tight-knit anti-financial crime advisory team with strong visibility across the business. What You’ll Be Doing Here’s how you’ll make an impact: Act as the anti-financial crime advisor for alternative investment products, including private funds and real estate structures Lead and support product-level risk assessments and compliance reviews Coordinate with internal teams and external vendors (U.S. and Cayman) to ensure AML program effectiveness Participate in semi-annual QA reviews and ongoing due diligence processes Help build controls and provide strategic input on how the business manages complex ownership structures and emerging risks Contribute to regulatory audit prep and help respond to inquiries or findings Liaise regularly with investment teams, legal, compliance, and global anti-financial crime partners What You Bring Experience in asset management or alternatives (e.g., private equity, real estate funds, hedge funds) Solid understanding of anti-financial crime or compliance principles—especially beyond KYC Exposure to Cayman fund structures, complex ownership entities, or cross-border investment products Strong interpersonal skills and ability to partner with front office and compliance stakeholders Project ownership mindset with the ability to work independently and prioritize in a fast-paced environment Why This Asset Manager? You’ll be joining a firm with a strong global presence and a forward-looking anti-financial crime function that’s committed to doing things the right way. The compliance team is collaborative, highly visible, and directly involved in business decision-making. This is a chance to bring your regulatory knowledge and fund experience together in a role with depth, variety, and long-term growth potential. What’s Next If you’re ready to step into a high-impact compliance advisory role with exposure to complex investments, we’d love to connect. Apply now or reach out to learn more.
