The ideal candidate will have between 5 and 10 years relevant experience and be capable of independently handling multiple core functions within a lean and growing organization.
The role will primarily be to ensure full regulatory and operational compliance of the offshore fund structure in Mauritius.

The role will also involve clearing and processing fund related invoices, coordinating closely with auditors for the annual audit of both the fund and the investment manager, and ensuring timely closure of financial reporting requirements.
The position will include limited trading related responsibilities, such as placing trade orders and allocating trades across the SMA and the main fund. While trading volumes are not high, accuracy, timeliness, and coordination with portfolio management and brokers will be essential.
