The Utopia Venture Platform - Legal & Compliance Manager

• There are four areas of ownership: regulatory filings, compliance operations, legal administration, and governance records. Together they keep the platform's obligations met on time across both entities. • Regulatory filings & reporting • Own the platform's regulatory filing calendar across both entities: track every QFCRA (and other applicable) deadline, and support the Compliance Officer with preparing submissions and accurate and on-time filings. • Coordinate periodic regulatory returns and maintain a clear record of what has been filed, when, and what is next due, so status is visible at any moment across all group entities • Own the compliance and filing cycle for the fund vehicles (Cayman & QFC) • Own the reporting calendar to our investors and LPs: track deliverables and milestones, prepare and coordinate the periodic reports, and make sure every submission is complete, accurate and on time. • Compliance operations • Run day-to-day compliance monitoring against existing policies, and act as the internal point of contact for the outsourced MLRO and Compliance Officer, gathering information, completing first-line checks and following actions through to closure. • Execute onboarding and KYC due diligence, screening, and the upkeep of conflicts, gifts and entertainment registers. • Prepare (when needed) compliance reporting packs for the COO and board, and support supervisory engagement and audits by assembling documentation and tracking remediation actions to closure. • Coordinate the fund-level AML and economic substance obligations in Cayman with the outsourced administrator and appointed officers, keeping the platform's records aligned with what is filed offshore. • Legal & contract administration • Draft, review and process standard-form agreements (NDAs, vendor, engagement and service agreements) and manage the contract lifecycle from request to execution to storage. • Maintain the contract register and central legal repository so every agreement is filed, findable and current. • Coordinate with external legal counsel on matters beyond standard scope, managing instructions, turnaround and documentation. • Own corporate housekeeping across the platform's entities, ensuring that registrations, renewals, licences and statutory records are completed on time. • Governance & records • Keep the platform's policies, registers and corporate records organised, version-controlled and up to date. • Maintain accurate entity and shareholding records across the Group and keep the corporate register current. • Ensure documentation is retained and organised to the standard the platform's regulator and investor base expect.
