Location: worldwide Workplace: Hybrid ABOUT UTOPIA UTOPIA is a venture studio (Utopia Studio) and fund manager platform (Utopia Capital) headquartered in Doha, operating across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa. The platform combines early-stage venture funds with an in-house studio that builds companies directly, supported by a proprietary technology infrastructure that shortens the time from idea to build. A team of 30 runs capital deployment, company-building and infrastructure together, giving the platform direct access to markets, data and operating relationships across three regions. UTOPIA is anchored by sovereign wealth and Qatar's leading development institutions, and is invested in alongside family offices, high-net-worth investors and foundations. The platform is regulated by the Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority (QFCRA), and its investor base sets the standard for the financial rigour, compliance and operational discipline it runs to. UTOPIA builds and backs early-stage ventures led by domain experts, with capital efficiency and disciplined execution central to how it operates. THE ROLE The Legal & Compliance Manager keeps the platform's regulatory, compliance and legal obligations current and on time across both Utopia Studio and Utopia Capital. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role. The Manager owns the compliance calendar, prepares and coordinates filings, keeps registers and records accurate, and puts the policies and frameworks set by leadership into day-to-day practice. Regulatory strategy and controlled-function accountability sit with the COO and CEO. The MLRO and Compliance Officer functions are held externally through a service provider, and this role works alongside them to make sure the platform meets its obligations on time. Reports to: COO. Direct reports: None. Works closely with: COO, CFO and finance, People & Operations, the outsourced MLRO / Compliance Officer, external counsel and company secretary, and the Utopia Studio and Utopia Capital teams. Location: Doha, Qatar (full-time, with some remote allowances during the summers) Compensation: circa US$50,000 per annum. WHAT YOU WILL OWN There are four areas of ownership: regulatory filings, compliance operations, legal administration, and governance records. Together they keep the platform's obligations met on time across both entities. Regulatory filings & reporting - Own the platform's regulatory filing calendar across both entities: track every QFCRA (and other applicable) deadline, and support the Compliance Officer with preparing submissions and accurate and on-time filings. - Coordinate periodic regulatory returns and maintain a clear record of what has been filed, when, and what is next due, so status is visible at any moment across all group entities - Own the compliance and filing cycle for the fund vehicles (Cayman & QFC) - Own the reporting calendar to our investors and LPs: track deliverables and milestones, prepare and coordinate the periodic reports, and make sure every submission is complete, accurate and on time. Compliance operations - Run day-to-day compliance monitoring against existing policies, and act as the internal point of contact for the outsourced MLRO and Compliance Officer, gathering information, completing first-line checks and following actions through to closure. - Execute onboarding and KYC due diligence, screening, and the upkeep of conflicts, gifts and entertainment registers. - Prepare (when needed) compliance reporting packs for the COO and board, and support supervisory engagement and audits by assembling documentation and tracking remediation actions to closure. - Coordinate the fund-level AML and economic substance obligations in Cayman with the outsourced administrator and appointed officers, keeping the platform's records aligned with what is filed offshore. Legal & contract administration - Draft, review and process standard-form agreements (NDAs, vendor, engagement and service agreements) and manage the contract lifecycle from request to execution to storage. - Maintain the contract register and central legal repository so every agreement is filed, findable and current. - Coordinate with external legal counsel on matters beyond standard scope, managing instructions, turnaround and documentation. - Own corporate housekeeping across the platform's entities, ensuring that registrations, renewals, licences and statutory records are completed on time. Governance & records - Keep the platform's policies, registers and corporate records organised, version-controlled and up to date. - Maintain accurate entity and shareholding records across the Group and keep the corporate register current. - Ensure documentation is retained and organised to the standard the platform's regulator and investor base expect. WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR - 4–6 years in a compliance, regulatory reporting or filings function, ideally within a regulated financial services, fund management or professional services environment. - A bachelor's degree in a relevant field such as accounting, finance, business or economics. - A law degree or specialist compliance certification is not mandatory, though a legal or compliance background is advantageous. What matters most is the years you have spent working hands-on inside a compliance or reporting function. - Practical familiarity with regulatory filing and compliance processes; direct QFCRA, DFSA, FSRA or comparable exposure is a strong advantage. - Meticulous and deadline-driven, taking pride in nothing being late, nothing being missed, and every record being accurate. - Highly organised and self-directed, comfortable owning a calendar of recurring obligations and chasing the inputs you need from others. - Practical and execution-minded, more focused on getting the filing done correctly - GCC experience preferred; familiarity with Qatar's institutional and regulatory landscape is an advantage. - Temperament: reliable, discreet, calm under deadline pressure, and comfortable holding colleagues to account to get documentation in on time. WHY THIS ROLE - Real ownership of the platform's day-to-day regulatory and compliance execution across both a fund manager and a venture studio. - A clearly defined, hands-on role reporting directly to the COO, focused on day-to-day execution while strategy and accountability sit above you. - Institutional context: sovereign-grade anchor partners, a QFCRA-regulated environment, and an investor base that sets a high operational standard. - A platform at the point where it scales, giving you the chance to build reliable, repeatable compliance operations for both entities. We believe innovation should be inclusive and globally distributed. Our team is built on openness, curiosity, and collaboration — with people from across the GCC, Africa, and Southeast Asia working together to build meaningful ventures.

Location: worldwide Chief Operating Officer Doha, Qatar · Full-time · Reports to the Chief Executive Officer THE OPPORTUNITY Three regions, four billion people, and some of the deepest pools of patient capital on earth are building their AI economies now. UTOPIA sits where sovereign capital, company-building and AI infrastructure meet: a regulated fund manager and a venture studio run as one platform out of Doha. We are hiring the operator who builds the machine itself. You will create the platform’s operating backbone: the finance engine, the compliance architecture, the people system, and the operating rhythm that lets sovereign-grade capital move at venture speed. The company being built here is UTOPIA. ABOUT UTOPIA UTOPIA is a venture platform headquartered in Doha, combining UTOPIA Capital Management LLC, a QFCRA-regulated fund manager running two early-stage funds (A-typical Ventures across the Middle East, and The Radical Fund across Southeast Asia), with The UTOPIA Studio, an AI-native venture studio that co-builds companies with domain experts. Both run on UTOPIA OS, a proprietary technology and intelligence layer that cuts the cost of building AI-native companies by more than half. A team of 30 runs capital deployment, company-building and infrastructure together across the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Africa. UTOPIA is anchored by sovereign wealth and Qatar’s leading development institutions, and invested in by family offices, high-net-worth investors and foundations. WHY NOW Emerging markets drive 70% of global infrastructure demand and grow twice as fast as Western economies, yet receive around 15% of global venture funding. AI has collapsed the cost and time of building companies at the same moment these markets enter an infrastructure boom. UTOPIA was built for this window. The platform is live and compounding. The funds are deploying, with an active portfolio of 15+ companies across the Middle East and Southeast Asia alone: AI-powered financial intelligence for SMEs in the Gulf, Arabic-native data governance in Saudi Arabia, energy transition and circular-economy ventures from Vietnam to Indonesia. The Studio has 30+ fellows building AI-native companies across emerging and global markets, from clinical AI at the cardiology bedside to post-quantum security, each moving from idea toward Series A in under 24 months on the platform’s own infrastructure. This role of the COO touches all of it: sovereign wealth relationships, a regulated fund manager and a venture studio, reporting to the founder. The operating decisions of the next twelve months set the platform’s shape for the next decade. THE ROLE The COO is the platform’s senior operating executive and touches finance, compliance, operations and people that keeps a regulated, multi-entity venture platform running: a finance-weighted COO mandate. The role is accountable for group finance with the CFO, runs platform operations including HR; and carries day-to-day regulatory readiness alongside the CEO, who holds the Senior Executive Function. The COO also partners with the CEO to run the Studio and the Fund Manager as one team, with one culture and one set of Group KPIs. The division of labour is deliberate: the CEO sets direction and owns capital formation, boards and external relationships; the COO builds and runs the machine. Direct accountability: Finance; Operations & HR, Legal & Compliance (to be hired); Brand & Communications. WHAT YOU WILL OWN Four connected areas that together form the operating backbone of the platform: cross-entity leadership, finance, operations and people, and regulatory & compliance. Cross-entity operating leadership. - Build the group operating system with the CEO: a single group-wide KPI framework, with the reporting and review cadences that give the CEO one current view of delivery across all entities. - Standardise operating systems, tooling and management information across entities, so the platform can add vehicles and ventures without adding proportional overhead. - Build the one-team culture: shared operating rituals, communication cadence and clear decision rights that keep the Studio and the Fund Manager pulling toward common Group outcomes. Finance (through the CFO). - Accountability for the finance together with the CFO, across the management company, the funds and the studio: budgeting, forecasting, management accounts, audit and treasury. - Oversee fund finance through the CFO: NAV processes, capital calls and distributions, LP financial reporting, and carry/waterfall mechanics. - Oversee Studio finance through the CFO: ownership of the Studio budget and financial oversight of its external funding arrangements, including deployment against contracted milestones, funder reporting and audit readiness. - Capital discipline and reporting: platform runway management, cost control and spend phasing across entities, with consistent, reconciled board-grade numbers across board packs, LP reports and regulatory filings. Operations & people. - Own platform infrastructure and resilience: entity administration, vendor strategy, business continuity, fund administration oversight and risk cover across the Group. - Own the people agenda end-to-end: hiring plans, performance and compensation frameworks, and the immigration and administrative infrastructure that keeps a multi-jurisdiction team running. - Build scalable processes that serve both the Studio and the Fund Manager: one plan per function, with explicit capacity splits. - Own brand and communications as a platform function, ensuring output reflects the institutional standard the platform’s investor base expects. Regulatory & compliance (co-managed with the CEO). - Lead day-to-day management of the relationship with the platform’s regulator alongside the CEO: supervisory engagement, regulatory assessment visits and remediation follow-through. - Own the compliance infrastructure: policies, AML/CFT oversight and regulatory filings, working with the Compliance lead and external counsel. - Own board governance operations, including calendars, papers, minutes and resolution follow-through, working closely with the CEO on board strategy. WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR An operator who has run the engine room of an investment platform and wants to build the next one from closer to the front. You will sit closer to capital, regulators and company formation in your first quarter than most operators do in a career. - You have spent 10–15+ years in senior finance and operating leadership, including real time as CFO, COO or Head of Finance & Operations in a regulated investment business. - You have operated funds, venture studios or accelerators. You are comfortable with capital calls, fund admin, LP reports and board packs. - You know fund economics: NAV, carry and fee mechanics, waterfalls, management company finances. - You have collaborated or worked with a financial regulator (QFCRA, DFSA, FSRA or comparable) - You have built HR and operations in a lean, multi-entity organisation - A recognised finance qualification (CA, CPA, ACCA or CFA) is beneficial s. - Middle East and/or Emerging markets experience is advantageous - Soft Skills - You work well under pressure;You hold senior colleagues to account and hold your ground, and you build trust fast with founders, institutions and regulators. - You find building an institution exciting, especially in markets that are rapidly changing and growing WHY THIS ROLE - The role: finance, compliance, operations and people under one mandate, reporting directly to the CEO - the kind of exposure that takes a decade to get inside a large institution. - The context: sovereign-grade anchor partners, a regulated environment and a mandate aligned with Qatar’s national development agenda. - The location: Doha , at the centre of the capital funding the next decade, with tax-free compensation and summer flexibility. - Ownership: carry across the platform’s vehicles and equity in the ventures you help build, structured at offer. PROCESS Please share a CV and answer the following questions. Conversations will include the CEO, Studio Directors and board representatives (TBC). The appointment is subject to standard background checks and, where applicable, QFCRA approvals. We believe innovation should be inclusive and globally distributed. Our team is built on openness, curiosity, and collaboration — with people from across the GCC, Africa, and Southeast Asia working together to build meaningful ventures.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT - Meaningful Impact: Your work directly contributes to building the core infrastructure behind a new generation of ventures - enabling equitable, AI-native innovation across the Global South. - Collaborative Culture: We thrive on openness, curiosity, and collective intelligence. Everyone has a voice, and decisions are made transparently. - Growth Mindset: From AI learning and use budgets to mentorship, we invest in your development and help you grow beyond your comfort zone. - Competitive Rewards: Tax-free compensation, private health and travel insurance, and a benefits package designed for both security and flexibility. - Wellbeing First: Generous PTO, flexible hybrid setup, and wellness programs to help you stay balanced. - Work-Life Integration: Office lunches twice a week, great snacks, and team meetups that keep energy and connection high. - Global Exposure: Occasional travel across Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East for meaningful, on-ground collaboration with venture teams. - Inclusive by Design: We celebrate diversity and are committed to building an environment where everyone belongs. WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS You'll be building the operating system for AI-native venture creation — the foundation that founders across the Global South will use to build the next generation of companies. Your work will power Utopia OS and enable innovation aligned with Qatar's Vision 2030 for a digital, knowledge-based economy. Your work will accelerate venture build time and reduce technical duplication across the Studio — measurable through faster deployment cycles, improved reliability, and reusable systems. WHO THIS ROLE ISN’T RIGHT FOR If you prefer working in rigid environments, or need fully defined specs before shipping, this may not be the right fit. We move fast, operate with high trust, and expect engineers to take ownership from architecture through to production. THE UTOPIA PLATFORM ADVANTAGE The Studio is part of Utopia Capital’s integrated venture platform designed to solve the biggest friction points in emerging market venture creation. Most founders face a broken journey: they struggle to build with limited resources, chase capital across disconnected investors, and lack the infrastructure to scale across regions. We've built a different system. The Studio co-builds ventures with domain experts using AI-native infrastructure, compressing the path from concept to product. The Radical Fund and A-typical Ventures provide fast, aligned capital from pre-seed through Series A, removing fundraising friction at every stage. And Utopia OS — our shared technical backbone — gives every venture access to the same tools, data systems, and regional networks that would normally take years and millions to build. This means founders can focus on solving real problems while we handle the build infrastructure, capital coordination, and cross-regional expansion. It's a compounding system: each venture we build makes the next one faster, smarter, and more capital-efficient. That's the platform advantage that you will be part of and contribute to, purpose-built for the complexity of the Global South. We believe innovation should be inclusive and globally distributed. Our team is built on openness, curiosity, and collaboration — with people from across the GCC, Africa, and Southeast Asia working together to build meaningful ventures. All roles are based in Doha, Qatar, with flexible hybrid options and global travel opportunities (unless otherwise stated). We welcome talent from every background to join us in shaping the future of AI-native innovation.
