Role Purpose
The Fund works with appointed agencies - Administrator, Custodian, RTA, Trustee, Auditor and Tax Advisor - who handle execution. This role is the Fund's in-house point of coordination and control across finance, tax, audit, compliance and operations.

The person reviews the output of these agencies, tracks every statutory and investor deliverable to closure on time, and keeps the Fund, its service providers, investors and regulators aligned.

Audit : Coordinate the statutory audit and PPM compliance audit -schedules, reconciliations, query resolution and closure.
Compliance : Maintain the compliance calendar under SEBI (AIF) Regulations and the PPM. Complete periodic SEBI filings, benchmarking submissions, KYC / AML and FEMA reporting within timelines. Track investment conditions and limits and escalate any potential breach.
Operations & Coordination : Follow up with service providers on deliverables and SLAs. Handle investor onboarding, statements, reporting and queries. Prepare MIS for the Investment Committee and Trustee.
