Founding Executive Director (Singapore)

Role Overview :

The Founding Executive Director (CEO) will be the primary MAS-facing officer of Infra One Singapore and a statutory Board member. The role combines entrepreneurial responsibility for launching a new regulated entity with regulatory accountability for ongoing MAS compliance.

About Allocator One and Infra One :

Infra One is Allocator One’s platform subsidiary, created to host and operate funds for emerging General Partners. Infra One provides an umbrella structure that combines fund management, administration, and compliance oversight, allowing new managers to operate under a robust regulated environment without needing to establish their own AIFM.

With active platforms in the EU, UK and US, and new initiatives in Asia, Infra One now intends to establish a licensed fund management entity in Singapore under the MAS Venture Capital Fund Manager (VCFM) regime.

Allocator One is a European AIFM, licensed and supervised by the Austrian FMA. It manages alternative investment funds under the EU’s AIFMD framework.

• Ensure compliance with MAS Notices (AML / CFT, risk management, business conduct).
• Provide governance and reporting standards equivalent to institutional AIFM platforms in Europe.

This is a greenfield launch :

The successful candidate will work with Allocator One’s European leadership to incorporate the entity, submit the CMS license application, build governance structures, and act as MAS-approved Executive Director from inception.
