Your Mission Should You Choose to Accept it 😁

If you’ve ever worked in a SEC-licensed asset management company, you know the drill: forms, reports, and filings galore. Most people dread them; but not you. For some reason, you enjoy the structure. You get satisfaction from ensuring every “i” is dotted, every “t” crossed, and every report filed before the deadline.

You’re the kind of person who:

  • Double-checks the locks before leaving.
  • Shows up 10 minutes early, just in case.
  • Believes if it’s not documented, it didn’t happen.

 

At Volition Cap, you’ll be more than just a rule-keeper. You’ll be the backbone of our compliance function; building processes from the ground up and helping us set the gold standard for regulatory compliance in asset management. You’ll also have oversight of risk management and internal audit as we grow, so you’ll get to wear multiple hats and shape how we operate.

We’ll invest in you with mentorship, training, and exposure across our global network; so while you’re making sure we play by the rules, you’ll also be building a career that grows with us.
