ABOUT NONPUBLIC
Pre-IPO access has long been an institutional privilege. NonPublic changes that. We give over 1,000 wholesale investors direct access to the world’s most sought-after private companies, including SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic, Canva, and Anduril, through ASIC-regulated unit trusts and SPVs.
We have deployed $106M+ in principal investments, with mark-to-market AUM and AUA exceeding $150M. We are a modern private markets platform built by founders, for the investors who were previously locked out.
THE ROLE
Every NonPublic investor, from family offices to sophisticated individuals, relies on a capable and organised counterpart at NonPublic. That is the role.
As Investor Relations Associate, you own the operational lifecycle from the moment an investor commits through to every quarterly update they receive. You will run KYC/KYB and AML/CTF, coordinate fund closes, capital calls, and distributions, and act as the day-to-day point of contact for investors across deals, documentation, and reporting.

Broader compliance
