Head of People at Range (Mclean, VA)Head of People

At Range, we’re building towards a world where anyone can live the financial life they imagine for themselves. If that sounds like a mission you want to be a part of, let’s create it together.

We’re building AI-powered wealth management. Investments, taxes, retirement, estate planning, all in one platform instead of scattered across different advisors and apps. We're backed by Google's Gradient Ventures, Cathay Innovation, Scale Venture Partners, and more. We’re growing fast while still small enough that everyone's work is visible and impactful.

As Head of People, you will own the full People strategy at Range as we scale. This role is responsible for building a high-functioning People organization, setting clear standards for how we hire, develop, and manage talent, and partnering closely with the CEO and executive team on organizational effectiveness. You will design scalable people systems, lead through complexity, and serve as a trusted advisor on high-impact decisions related to performance, leadership, and culture.

• Partner with the CEO and executive leadership on org design, workforce planning, and leadership development
• Build and lead the internal HR team, setting clear ownership, expectations, and operating rhythms
• Design and operate performance management systems, review cycles, calibration, and manager enablement
