Chief Operating Officer — Alternative Asset Management (Latin America)
Role Overview
We are looking for a Chief Operating Officer to join an independent alternative asset manager operating across Latin America, managing over US $250M across real estate, debt, and a third well-defined vertical. In this role, you will be the operational and risk counterweight to the founders' opportunistic dealmaking — building the governance, compliance, and technology-enabled operating engine that lets the firm keep placing bold bets safely, while sitting at the management table as a true strategic partner.
What You'll Do
- Risk Management & Controls: Own and continuously refine the firm's proprietary risk system, building checks and balances against founder-led, opportunistic decision-making.
- Operations Engineering: Design and run a technology-enabled, compliance-forward operating engine; treat operational excellence as a competitive advantage, not a cost center.
- Governance: Support governance across the shareholder pool, internal processes, and the firm's investment vehicles,



meeting the standards expected by institutional investors.
- Finance & Treasury Oversight: Own capital calls, distributions, fund-level reporting, liquidity, and banking relationships.
- Regulatory & Compliance: Ensure operations meet Colombian financial regulatory standards and the expectations of cross-border institutional investors.
- Technology Partnership: Work closely with the Tech Leader to champion AI-driven automation of investment and management processes.
- Investor Operations: Be a credible, steady operational counterpart for institutional LPs, including pension funds and insurance companies, during due diligence and ongoing reporting.
- Team & Culture Stewardship: Help scale a small, high-trust, low-turnover team without importing big-bank bureaucracy.

Must Have
