The initial contract will be for a minimum of 12 months, with the option to extend for a further 12 months.

– Undertake other duties and responsibilities as reasonably required by the Administration and Co-sec teams, including providing support across the team and taking on additional tasks from time to time.

QUALIFICATIONS / EXPERIENCE

Experience in a fund administration, corporate services, or paralegal role, ideally with prior exposure to private equity transactions and corporate KYC/AML due diligence.
