UVC Partners is one of Europe’s leading early-stage venture capital firms. With our fourth fund
generation of € 250 million, we invest in disruptive B2B startups at the seed and Series A stage across
Europe. 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, Proxima Fusion, and many more.
What makes us special? At UVC Partners, we’re driven by a deep passion for entrepreneurship and its power to positively shape society. Environmental and social responsibility are core to our DNA – we hold ourselves to the highest standards in everything we do. As a firm, we continuously reinvent ourselves to stay ahead and best serve our portfolio and investors. We believe in ownership over hierarchy and foster a culture built on collaboration, curiosity, and personal engagement. And while we’re serious about our mission, we also genuinely enjoy working together and building lasting relationships along the way. As part of this evolution, we are taking the step to full authorization as a Kapitalverwaltungsgesellschaft (KVG) under the German Investment Code (KAGB) and are building out our internal control functions accordingly.
Your mission
Own the operational build-out of our compliance function as we move to full BaFin authorization as an AIFM – you drive it day to day, while management provides oversight.
Development and implementation of our compliance policies and handbooks and design of the underlying processes from the ground up (e.g. compliance, conflicts of interest, personal account dealing, remuneration, complaints, whistleblowing) in collaboration with service providers and external advisor.
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, internal audit, etc.) 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.
Your profile
Several years of experience in a compliance function – or closely related (legal, AML, regulatory, audit) – at an AIFM, asset manager, bank, securities institution, or a relevant advisory or law firm, ideally experience with AIFMs holding a full BaFin authorization.
A proven ability to draft 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.
Nice to have: experience with illiquid asset classes (VC/PE) and exposure to DORA/ICT, SFDR/ESG, outsourcing (§ 36 KAGB), or AML (GwG).
