The individual will support the two Funds and Trading attorneys with various aspects of their work and take on other tasks under their supervision, such as global position filings, legal entity formation, and document management.

• Responsible for daily, weekly, quarterly, and annual position filings globally (e.g., Schedules 13G/D and Section 16 filings, UK/EU short positions, MiFID II transaction reporting, Form PF, TIC/BEA filings, etc.).

• Serve as the primary point of contact for vendor contract requests and trading document negotiations, and related document management.

• Provide trading compliance support, including tracking shares outstanding or the number of shares that can be bought/sold before a filing threshold is reached.

• Manage inbound information requests, including in non-US jurisdictions where the firm or its affiliates have trading licenses (e.g., China, India, etc.).

• Responsible for making initial lobbyist registrations in relevant jurisdictions and for ongoing filings in relevant jurisdictions.

• Create all new legal entities and draft initial governing documents.

Support the Private Investments team with KYC and related requests and assist with various ad hoc tasks related to the firm’s private equity and structured capital investment strategies.
