Job Description
Über uns
UVC Partners is one of Europe’s leading early-stage venture capital firms. With around €400 million in newly raised capital – including a dedicated growth allocation – we invest in disruptive B2B startups across Europe, from seed and Series A through to growth stage. Expanding UVC into a strong growth- stage player alongside our early-stage roots is a core part of our ambition. Our focus areas include enterprise software, mobility, and industrial technologies.
Headquartered in Munich and closely integrated with UnternehmerTUM, Europe’s largest entrepreneurship center, we are proud partners to some of Europe’s most ambitious founders – including Flixbus, Isar Aerospace, finn.auto, Proxima Fusion, and Aleph Alpha.
Deine Aufgaben
- Own the operational build-out of our compliance function as we move to full BaFin authorization as a KVG – you drive it day to day, while management provides oversight.
- Draft our compliance policies and handbooks and design the underlying processes from the ground up (e.g. compliance, conflicts of interest, personal account dealing, remuneration, complaints, whistleblowing).
- Contribute to the authorization dossier – business plan under § 22 KAGB, organizational and process documentation – together with our external advisor and the BaFin filing.
- Coordinate our outsourced functions (AML via Kerberos, internal audit) and ensure clean interfaces and controls.
- After licensing, run and evolve the permanent compliance function (KAMaRisk): monitor regulatory change (KAGB, AIFMD, DORA, SFDR/ESG), advise teams, deliver trainings, and report to management and the supervisory board.
Dein Profil
- Several years of experience in a compliance function – or closely related (legal, AML, regulatory, audit) – at a KVG, asset manager, bank, securities institution, or a relevant advisory or law firm.
- Solid knowledge of the regulatory framework for funds (KAGB, KAMaRisk, AIFMD); ideally experience with a BaFin authorization or registration process.
- A proven ability to write audit-proof policies, handbooks, and processes yourself – not just review them.
- A structured, self-driven working style: you move a complex project forward operationally without close supervision.
- Fluent German and good English, both written and spoken.
- Personal integrity and reliability (clean certificate of good conduct / central trade register).
- Nice to have: experience with illiquid asset classes (VC/PE) and exposure to DORA/ICT, SFDR/ESG, outsourcing (§ 36 KAGB), or AML (GwG).
Deine Vorteile
- Team and Working Environment – Be part of one of Europe’s most experienced and successful B2B-focused venture capital firms, with direct access to management and short decision paths.
- Impact and Ownership – Build the compliance function of a KVG from the ground up – a rare, highly visible mandate with lasting impact on how we operate.
- Development – Deepen your regulatory expertise across the full breadth of KVG compliance, from licensing to steady-state operations.
- Networking – Gain access to the UnternehmerTUM ecosystem, which includes thousands of talents, hundreds of startups, and over 150 corporate partners.
- Compensation – An attractive salary, a permanent full-time position, hybrid working, and a modern office in Munich.
