QSuper is on the hunt for a head of fund finance as part of a strategy to become a regulated fund.

According to QSuper, the head of fund finance will be responsible for ensuring that the fund complies with its financial obligations, policies and regulatory responsibilities.

The successful applicant will also be "responsible for developing and implementing policies and operational improvements to provide continuous finance support in a changing environment," QSuper said.

The head of fund finance will be a key member of the finance leadership team and will be one of four senior managers reporting to the chief financial officer.

At this time, the QSuper board of trustees is seeking to become a non-public offer registrable superannuation entity licensee under the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993.

QSuper has been gradually expanding its investment capability as part of its progression towards becoming a regulated fund.

In July, the fund announced that it was seeking a chief financial officer to guide QSuper through this process.

This year, QSuper also appointed former QIC head of alpha Charles Woodhouse as general manager of funds management and former QIC deputy chief executive Brad Holzberger as chief investment officer.

Last month, the fund's wholly-owned administration company QSuper Limited successfully secured an Australian Financial Services Licence to provide financial product advice on superannuation.
