Based in Luxembourg or Warsaw, this is an opportunity to own meaningful regulatory and operational work from day one, within a newly formed and growing team.

About the Team

This role sits within the Fund Marketing & Distribution team, part of Fund Operations, which is responsible for driving the marketing delegates oversight process and coordinating global marketing registrations across a broad range of fund vehicles and jurisdictions. As a newly established team, we are building processes, infrastructure, and ways of working from the ground up — which means every team member has a tangible impact on how we operate. We work closely with Sales, Legal, Compliance, and Regulatory colleagues across the firm to ensure EQT can reach investors efficiently and in full compliance with applicable rules.

About the Role

This role is central to EQT's ability to distribute funds compliantly across global markets. As Associate in Fund Distribution Oversight, you will drive the oversight duties of the AIFM distribution network, and support global marketing registrations, while driving process automation and data centralisation initiatives that strengthen operational foundations for the team and the wider business.

• Lead third-party distributor and sub-distributor due diligence assessments in line with CSSF Circular 18/698, using the UME tool, and conduct ongoing reviews.
• Collaborate daily with the Sales team to understand intermediary structures and work with Legal, Compliance, and Regulatory colleagues to ensure proper distributor classification and required sign-offs are in place.
• Own the resolution of distributor-related compliance issues and escalations, maintaining a clear audit trail of oversight activity.
• Contribute to strategic discussions with Sales leadership on distributor readiness and go-to-market execution, and support senior leadership by escalating complex compliance or policy questions clearly and with appropriate context.
• Support global marketing registrations across fund vehicles — including closed-ended and evergreen structures, and from professional to retail — ensuring local regulatory requirements are met across multiple jurisdictions. 
• Help maintain a centralised registry tracking the regulatory status of marketing registrations, flagging bottlenecks or compliance issues as they arise.
• Liaise with local counsel and external advisors as needed to support compliant and timely fund registrations for institutional, private wealth, and retail investor types.
• Drive process automation and data centralisation across distributor oversight and marketing registrations, partnering with Tech team and business functions to evaluate and implement relevant technologies.
• Develop reporting infrastructure and dashboards that provide visibility to leadership and business partners, and support the implementation of a single source of truth for distributor and marketing data.
