Associate, Fund Marketing & Distribution

EQT is looking for an Associate in Fund Marketing & Distribution to lead global marketing registrations and distribution oversight across our diversified fund portfolio. Based in Luxembourg, this is an opportunity to own meaningful regulatory and operational work from day one, within a newly formed and growing team.

About the Team

The Fund Marketing & Distribution team sits within Fund Operations and is responsible for managing EQT's global marketing registrations and third-party distributor oversight 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 Marketing & Distribution, you will own the end-to-end management of marketing registrations and distributor oversight, while driving process automation and data centralisation initiatives that strengthen operational foundations for the team and the wider business.

• Own and manage global marketing registrations across fund vehicles including private equity, infrastructure, real estate, and evergreen funds, ensuring timely compliance with local regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
• Maintain a centralised registry tracking the regulatory status of all marketing registrations, identifying and resolving bottlenecks or compliance issues as they arise.
• Engage directly with local counsel and external advisors to support compliant and timely fund registrations for institutional, private wealth, and retail investor types.
• Lead third-party distributor and sub-distributor due diligence assessments in line with CSSF Circular 18/698, using the UME tool, and conduct ongoing compliance monitoring of distributor relationships.
• 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.
• Drive process automation and data centralisation across marketing registrations and distributor oversight, partnering with IT and business functions to evaluate and implement relevant technologies.
• Develop reporting infrastructure and dashboards that provide visibility to leadership and business partners, and lead the implementation of a single source of truth for marketing and distributor data.
• 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.

About You

You are an experienced fund operations or regulatory compliance professional who brings a structured approach, strong ownership of your work, and a genuine interest in building better processes. You are equally comfortable navigating complex regulatory frameworks and collaborating across teams to get things done.

What you'll bring (must-have):

• At least 5 years of professional experience in fund marketing registrations, distribution oversight, or a closely related field within asset management.
• Demonstrated ability to drive and implement process improvement initiatives, including technology or automation solutions.
• Familiarity with diverse fund structures, distribution channels, and investor types — including institutional, private wealth, and retail.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage complex, multi-workstream projects with care and precision.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to convey regulatory and operational matters clearly to a range of audiences.
• Comfort working with data management systems, business intelligence tools, or automation platforms.

Nice to have:

• Experience in a fast-growing or operationally transformative environment.
• Experience managing multi-jurisdictional regulatory compliance, with familiarity with AIFMD, MiFID II, CSSF regulations, and related marketing frameworks.
• Proficiency in one or more additional European languages.
• Familiarity with AI-driven tools or automation platforms applied to compliance or operational workflows.
• Prior experience with UME or equivalent distributor due diligence platforms.
• Exposure to evergreen fund structures and their specific distribution requirements.

What We Offer

Joining EQT's Fund Marketing & Distribution team means taking on a role with real scope and visibility. You will work across a broad range of fund vehicles, jurisdictions, and investor types, and contribute to building a team that is shaping how EQT manages fund distribution globally. You will have the autonomy to drive process improvement and automation, the partnership of experienced colleagues across Legal, Compliance, Regulatory, and Sales, and exposure to enterprise-wide strategy and operations. This is a role for someone who wants to own meaningful work and grow with it.
