Onboarding & Compliance Manager

ABOUT NONPUBLIC

Pre-IPO access has long been an institutional privilege. NonPublic changes that. We give over 1,000 wholesale investors direct access to the world’s most sought-after private companies.

We have deployed $380M+ in principal investments, with mark-to-market AUM and AUA exceeding $450M. We are a modern private markets platform built by founders, for the investors who were previously locked out.

THE ROLE

Every deal NonPublic closes depends on two things: investors onboarded quickly and compliantly, and deal operations executed without error. As Onboarding & Compliance Manager, you own both.

You will own compliance reporting and audits across the platform, manage investor onboarding, and act as first-level escalation for compliance decisions.

You will also take ownership of our VIP onboarding, 3P SPVs and serve as lead for exit management.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

Compliance & reporting

• Own compliance reporting and audits across the platform, including obligations to ASIC and AUSTRAC.
• Act as first-level escalation for KYC/KYB decisions, applying Enhanced Due Diligence where risk profiles require it.
• Mentor the team on KYC/KYB standards, keeping decision quality consistent as volumes grow.
• Keep policies, procedures, and compliance committee materials current as regulation and practice evolve.
• Maintain complete, audit-ready compliance files and coordinate external audits and regulatory reviews.
• Deliver regular management reporting across onboarding, compliance, and deal operations.

Investor onboarding

• Own mid-VIP investor onboarding end-to-end, from commitment through to funded and fully documented.
• Ensure onboarding is fast, compliant, and consistent across all investor types, including individuals, companies, funds, and trusts.
• Resolve escalated onboarding issues directly with investors and their representatives.

Team leadership — Deal Operations

• Manage and develop two direct reports responsible for deal operations.
• Oversee deal reconciliation support, brokerage setup, and document execution across live deals.
• Oversee new, secondary, and refresh KYC/KYB required for deal closing.
• Drive process improvements across onboarding and deal operations, and track KPIs that evidence the gains.

Strategic accounts & SPVs

• Own NonPublic’s strategic accounts, acting as the senior operational counterpart for our most significant investors.
• Own SPV operations end-to-end, including establishment, closes, and ongoing administration in coordination with legal and fund administrators.

IPO Lead

• Act as IPO Lead: own operational readiness as portfolio companies approach listing, including brokerage arrangements, share transfers and distributions, and investor communications.
