<p><strong>About Us</strong></p> <p>Allocator One Group is a global investing platform redefining how institutional capital reaches private markets. We operate through two synergistic businesses:<br/>• Allocator One backs exceptional first- and second-time fund managers around the world—acting as “seed-investor + platform” for emerging VC funds.<br/>• Infra One, our fund-ops and tech arm, provides the regulatory, administrative and tech infrastructure that allows those new funds to scale rapidly and globally. </p> <p>Together, we deliver both the capital and the structure fund managers need—and in doing so build a global ecosystem of platforms, people and ideas that reshape private markets. </p> <p><strong>The Role</strong></p> <p>We are recruiting a Global Head of People to design, build and lead our talent and culture function across both Allocator One and Infra One.
