Legal & Compliance Manager
Description
Legal & Compliance Manager
Full time Alan & Grant NigeriaJob Summary
The Legal & Compliance Manager will lead the company’s legal, regulatory, and compliance function — including the fund manager’s SEC registration process and ongoing obligations as a Nigerian Capital Market Operator. You will be one of the company’s SEC Sponsored Individuals and will serve as the Compliance Officer. This role combines deal-side legal work (transaction documentation) with fund-level compliance and corporate governance.
Key responsibilities
- Serve as the company’s Compliance Officer and SEC Sponsored Individual; lead and maintain the fund manager’s SEC registration and annual renewal obligations.
- Draft, review, and negotiate investment documentation — term sheets, facility agreements, RBF agreements, security documents, shareholder agreements, and intercreditor agreements.
- Manage external counsel across Nigeria, Mauritius, Côte d’Ivoire, and Senegal for transaction and fund-level matters.
- Oversee fund structuring and governance, including Limited Partnership Agreement compliance and LP reporting obligations.
- Design and implement the company’s AML/CFT, KYC, and PEP screening framework in line with CBN, SEC, and international standards.
- Lead ESG and gender-lens policy compliance, including 2X Challenge and DGGF reporting requirements.
- Advise on CBN, NDIC, SEC, FIRS, and other regulatory matters affecting portfolio companies.
- Serve as Company Secretary for the company entities; maintain statutory registers and minute books.
Requirements
- Qualified Nigerian legal practitioner (called to the Nigerian Bar) with 6–10 years post-call experience.
- SEC Sponsored Individual registration — either currently active or eligible to be registered (having completed the SEC/NCMI pre-registration training and examination). Candidates eligible to convert from a prior SI role are strongly encouraged to apply.
- Strong background in capital markets, banking & finance, private equity, or investment funds — gained at a top-tier Nigerian law firm, in-house at a Capital Market Operator, or at a DFI/fund manager.
- Proven drafting and negotiation experience on debt transactions; experience with RBF, mezzanine, or alternative credit structures a plus.
- Working knowledge of ISA 2025, SEC Rules, CBN regulations, CAMA, FATCA/CRS, and AML/CFT requirements.
- LLM or ICSAN (chartered secretary) qualification is a plus.
