Unlock Capital is seeking a Legal and Compliance Officer who will be responsible and accountable for regulatory, tax, and operational compliance across its Mauritius-based private equity fund and Indian advisory entities.

While the Indian LLPs act as sub-advisors to the Mauritius fund, the Compliance Officer will be expected to ensure all applicable Indian regulatory requirements are met in full.
