Senior Analyst, Business Compliance, Macquarie Asset Management
Senior Real Assets Compliance Officer – EMEA (Hybrid)
Transform compliance into a strategic advantage in Macquarie Asset Management’s real assets and real estate business. As part of the EMEA Real Assets and Real Estate Compliance team, you’ll bridge the gap between regulatory complexity and business growth, ensuring risk is managed—not stifled—to drive confident, sustainable investing across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
About the Role
Together with business partners and global compliance colleagues, you’ll shape a compliance culture that enables innovation while adhering to the highest regulatory standards. This is a commercial, forward-thinking role focused on origination, distribution, and active portfolio management, where your advice directly influences investment strategies and stakeholder decision-making.
Working under the EMEA Real Assets and Real Estate Compliance Lead, your key responsibility is to:
- Provide practical, millisecond-to-market compliance guidance, ensuring real estate and infrastructure investments align with AIFMD II, MiFID II, MAR, and other globally applicable regulations.
- Collaborate with private equity teams, fund managers, and regional stakeholders to embed compliance into every facet of asset origination, distribution, and ongoing risk management.
- Act as a trusted advisor on complex cross-border regulatory issues, helping teams navigate trends such as ESG obligations, sustainability reporting, and digital asset integration.
- Identify compliance risks before they become operational or reputational threats, escalating issues proactively and recommending mitigations that balance regulatory clarity with commercial ambition.
- Develop and deliver compliance training and regulatory insights to non-compliance colleagues, ensuring awareness builds a robust, grassroots-driven compliance mindset.
- Support the construction of strategic projects, such as fund relocations, new fund launches, or thematic investments, ensuring regulatory readiness from day one.
- Monitor regulatory developments in EMEA’s diverse markets and share actionable intelligence to keep Macquarie a step ahead.
The role requires attendance in-office three days per week, with opportunities for other office locations upon relocation.
Responsibilities
You will be expected to:
-
Origination and Distribution Support
- Guide private equity, institutional, and intermediary partners through regulatory implications of new fund structuring, asset listings, and marketing plans.
- Ensure AIFMD II, MiFID II, and local approvals (e.g., UK IMAs, Luxembourg AIFLs) are clearly understood and embedded into investment philosophies.
-
Ongoing Portfolio Management
- Assess and advise on ongoing compliance risks, including third-party provider due diligence, operational vulnerabilities, and breach reporting.
- Partner with fund administrators and operational teams to mitigate risks linked to day-one trading, ongoing ESG disclosures, and investor communication.
-
Risk and Governance
- Work with the Global Compliance steering committees to identify systemic risks across multiple real assets sectors (residential, retail, logistics, infrastructure).
- Ensure adherence to Macquarie’s compliance frameworks and send-and-files policies across all jurisdictions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
