AIMA, the global trade association for the alternative investment management industry, is hiring an entry-level Policy and Regulation Analyst to support its U.S. Government and Regulatory Affairs work.  The position sits within AIMA’s Asset Management Regulation team and reports to the Global Head of Asset Management Regulation and Sound Practices.

About the role

A primary responsibility is managing and enhancing AIMA’s Regulatory Horizon Scan, the association’s online regulatory tracker. The role also involves supporting member working groups, producing policy materials, and amplifying team output through digital channels. This role offers significant exposure to U.S. financial regulation, member engagement and cross‑border policy work and opportunities to learn directly from senior members of the team. Over time, responsibilities will expand based on your strengths and the association’s needs.

The role requires strong autonomy, initiative, intellectual curiosity and the ability to learn about complex regulatory issues impacting hedge, private credit and digital assets funds and communicate AIMA’s positions clearly.

Key responsibilities

• Manage and improve AIMA’s Regulatory Horizon Scan.
• Summarize proposed and final regulations for members and work with the team to answer their questions.
• Share updates through the website, social media and member communications.
• Capture insights from meetings with agencies, policymakers and member groups.
• Conduct research to support U.S. regulatory responses.
• Coordinate with AIMA’s global offices; some travel required.

Skills and experience

• Prior industry or regulatory experience is not required, but demonstrated interest in the subject matter is strongly preferred.
• Strong technology and social media skills (Word, Excel, Adobe Acrobat, Photoshop/InDesign, HTML, AI tools, X, LinkedIn) to visualize and share information.
• Excellent writing, editing, and research abilities. AI can be used as a tool when appropriate, but it is important to be able to manually summarize meetings where transcription is not permitted.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to synthesize complex information.
• Ability to represent the association in a professional manner when taking part in meetings with senior stakeholders or attending events.
• Strong organizational and project‑management skills.
• Ability to work independently, handle multiple tasks and thrive in a small team.
