Fractional Compliance Lead, DDQ and Governance, Founding Bench, Performance Based to Start

Venture Equities
Location
Remote, United States
About Venture Equities
Venture Equities is building a sector‑agnostic investment platform focused on acquiring and partnering with cash‑flowing businesses. Our edge is structured capital solutions, meaning we engineer creative capital stacks, move fast, and protect downside with strong governance.
The role
We are building a founding partner bench and are looking for a fractional compliance lead to own DDQ readiness and governance across the platform. The seat builds the policies, oversight, and operating discipline that sophisticated LPs expect, without slowing down deal execution.
This is not a salaried role today. The engagement starts performance‑based, paid from closes and outcomes. For the right fit, it can transition to a monthly retainer after the first close, or once workload becomes recurrent.
Responsibilities
Own DDQ readiness and ongoing diligence responses, including policy documentation and evidence collection
Build and maintain the governance stack, code of ethics, conflicts process, gifts and entertainment, personal trading, MNPI, communications approvals, record retention
Coordinate AML and KYC workflow and investor onboarding processes, in partnership with counsel and fund admin
Partner with cybersecurity vendors to ensure policies and controls are aligned, access control, incident response, vendor oversight
Implement vendor due diligence workflows and basic risk management cadence
Review marketing and investor communications for consistency and compliance, as appropriate for the platform structure
Maintain a compliance calendar and ensure key items are completed on time
What we provide
Direct access to the Managing Partner and a clear mandate to set standards
Active buildout of fund admin, legal, and cybersecurity infrastructure
Templates, process support, and the ability to standardize across deals
Per‑deal economics documented in writing before work begins
Compensation and structure
This engagement starts performance‑based and paid from closes and platform outcomes. There is no salary in the initial phase.
Close based economics
Paid from sponsor or transaction fees we control, per deal, for active contributions documented in writing before work begins.
Outcome based upside
Path to deal carry participation for transactions you materially support, where applicable; path to founding membership equity in the platform for the right fit, earned only after measurable milestones, with standard vesting.
Retainer path
For the right fit, we can transition to a monthly retainer after the first close, or once workload and cadence become recurrent, while maintaining performance upside.
Time commitment
Fractional, expected 3 to 8 hours per week to start, flexing higher during DDQ cycles, closes, or policy buildouts.
Non‑exclusive is fine, as long as responsiveness and delivery standards are met.
Ideal profile
Experience in compliance, governance, risk, or operations at a private equity, private credit, venture, or alternative investment platform
Strong DDQ experience and comfort building policies from scratch in a founder‑led environment
Working knowledge of AML and KYC workflows, vendor oversight, record retention, and communications controls
Clear communicator, high responsiveness, calm under pressure
You are practical and know how to be institutional without creating bureaucracy
Experience coordinating cybersecurity programs and vendor risk management
Experience with institutional LP diligence and ongoing reporting expectations
