ACM's Liquidity Solutions business is rapidly growing given the increased commitments to private assets across private wealth investors and the natural need for liquidity over time. The Liquidity Solutions team focuses on a range of offerings, including a quarterly auction process, tail-end fund liquidity sales and strategic transactions for specific platform assets.

HOW YOU WILL FULFILL YOUR POTENTIAL 

• Transaction Management: Lead the end-to-end operational execution and closing process for secondary transactions, including quarterly auctions, tail-end fund sales, and strategic platform asset transactions.
• Cross-Functional Liaison: Serve as the primary connection point and liaison between the deal team and supporting operations, legal, compliance, tax, and technology teams to ensure seamless transaction flow.

• Stakeholder Coordination: Coordinate across a variety of internal and external stakeholders (including external managers, custodians, and transfer agents) to facilitate transfer approvals, documentation, and settlement.
• Regulatory & Compliance Alignment: Work closely with legal and compliance teams to ensure all transaction execution processes adhere to strict regulatory requirements and internal risk management frameworks.
• Infrastructure Scaling: Partner with technology teams and external vendors to design, test, and integrate the next phase of the Liquidity Solutions platform infrastructure.
• Strategic Initiatives: Lead operational and platform-focused strategic initiatives to support the rapid scaling of the secondary transaction business.

This role is primarily focused on deal execution, transaction operations, and closing management for the Liquidity Solutions business. The successful candidate will serve as the critical bridge and connection point between the deal teams and the broader operations, legal, compliance, and technology teams that support the platform.
