🚀 Director of Business Operations | $200K–$220K Base + 25–50% Bonus

📍 Larkspur, CA | Hybrid

💰 Potential Total Compensation of $300K+ | Employee-Owned Firm

This is not your typical operations leadership role.

I'm working on a unique opportunity with an established, employee-owned investment management firm specializing in emerging markets and managing mutual fund strategies.

They're looking for an experienced, entrepreneurial professional who can connect the dots across fund administration, compliance, LLC management, HR, and technology—and help build a stronger, more scalable business.

Reporting to the VP, you'll work across the organization, collaborate with senior leadership, and mentor two Business Managers, with the potential to take on direct management responsibilities as you grow into the role.

💡 What You'll Own

• Fund Administration: Oversee fund operations, financial reporting, service providers, regulatory updates, tax processes, and client due diligence requests

• Business Operations: Manage contracts, product planning, launches, and key initiatives supporting the firm's long-term growth

• Compliance: Contribute to compliance policies, regulatory filings, and committee oversight

• HR & Talent: Coordinate recruiting, onboarding, performance reviews, compensation programs, and employee development

• Technology & AI: Oversee technology infrastructure and information security in partnership with external consultants, and contribute to AI initiatives

• Leadership: Mentor two Business Managers and help build a more efficient, self-sustaining organization

Requirements

Who They're Looking For

• 7–15 years of career experience, ideally with meaningful exposure to the investment management industry

• Prior mutual fund experience is required

• Experience in at least two of these areas: fund administration, compliance, LLC management, HR, or technology/IT

• Strong understanding of investment management, fund structures, and financial markets

• Excellent relationship management, communication, and organizational skills

• A hands-on leader who enjoys working across functions in a lean, collaborative environment

• Entrepreneurial mindset, sound judgment, and a genuine interest in building a business for the long term

🌟 Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• 💰 $200K–$220K base + 25–50% bonus potential

• 📈 Potential total annual compensation of $300K+, depending on performance and bonus

• 🏢 Join a 100% employee-owned investment firm

• 📊 Potential eligibility for the firm's equity incentive program after one year

• 🤝 Work closely with senior leadership in a supportive, knowledge-sharing culture

• 🚀 Broad responsibilities across investment operations, compliance, people, and technology

• 🏖️ 20 days of PTO, paid parental leave, and NYSE holidays

• 🩺 Medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus 401(k) matching

• 🚆 Public transit reimbursement, remote-work allowance, and educational expense reimbursement

If you're an investment management professional with mutual fund experience who wants broader ownership, meaningful leadership exposure, and the opportunity to influence how an entire firm operates, let's connect.
