## Job description

## Why Join AngelList

We’re solving some of the hardest problems in venture capital and private markets. You’ll work with a team that values precision, urgency, and long-term thinking. If you want to shape how startups are funded and built, this is the place.

## About AngelList

We exist to accelerate innovation by increasing the number of successful startups in the world. We do this by building the financial infrastructure that makes it easier for more people to invest in world-changing companies. AngelList is the nexus of venture capital and the startup community. We support $171B+ in assets and have powered investments into over 13,000 startups—over 300 of which are unicorns. Today, 57% of top-tier U.S. VC deals involve investors on AngelList. While our scale is large, our ambition is larger. If you're excited to build the future of private markets, come build with us.

About the Role: Nova is AngelList's banking and payments network for private markets. Funds and investors both live on the network, and money (subscriptions, capital calls, distributions) moves between them inside it instead of through wires and PDFs. On top of those rails sits a growing menu of financial products: treasury and yield, credit, and a wealth layer that keeps an investor's capital working from one fund to the next. We're looking for someone to own the economics of that product menu with the autonomy and scope of a division CFO. Your fingerprints should be visible on which products we build, how they're priced, and how fast they reach the market. This is not a traditional finance role. Success is whether the business makes better decisions, ships the right products, and accelerates revenue.

Responsibilities:

- Own the [Nova](https://www.nova.net/) business narrative on financial performance, product economics, and outlook, including mastery of the Nova P&L and revenue model.
- Own the economics of the financial-product menu (deposits, treasury, payments, credit, and wealth) and bring the point of view on what to build next, how it is priced, and how it makes money.
- Drive revenue growth: own target-setting and go-to-market planning for new and existing products, and unlock adoption across every channel from direct GP sales, the Ark / fund-admin cross-sell to the LP surface.
- Model the unit economics that drive the call (NIM and float, lending spread and risk, referral and take-rate economics, AUM fees), and connect each product to payments volume, balances, and revenue.

What we’re looking for:

- 8+ years across strategic finance, banking, private markets, or corporate strategy, owning growth planning personally. The strongest fits come from fintech or neobank strategic finance, private-markets infrastructure, or banking and financial services turned operational.
- You reason natively in financial-product economics: deposits and float, lending spreads, referral and take-rate economics, AUM fees. You can tell a profitable product from a costly one.
- You form a clear point of view on what to build next, build conviction across product, GTM, and ops, and carry it to launch with pricing, packaging, and targets. You've killed a bet people believed in when the economics don't hold.
- You operate with broad scope and no playbook. You make senior judgment calls before the data is clean, shape your own mandate, and have a bias to action. You'd rather decide in days and correct course than spend weeks on a cleaner answer.
- You can distill a complex problem to the handful of points that move the decision, and you communicate it to executives in writing, in person, and in charts.
- You've built AI into how you work and expect it to reshape how finance operates. You want to be the person defining what that looks like here.

How success will be measured:

- Leadership has conviction on which financial product we build next, and why.
- The Nova leadership team plans from one model it trusts, with product economics, targets, and tradeoffs in one place.
- There's a clear, consistent narrative on financial performance and which growth levers to prioritize.
- Revenue grows: new and existing products show up in payments volume, balances, and revenue, with GTM unlocked across direct, Ark / fund-admin, and LP channels.

Working Here If you don’t meet every requirement above, we still encourage you to apply. We value complementary strengths and operators who learn by doing. We operate out of hubs in New York City and San Francisco. For most roles on those teams, we work from the office at least two days per week (Tuesdays and either Wednesday or Thursday).

Compensation:The compensation for this role consists of a competitive base salary, benefits, and equity package. The base salary for this role is $200,000+ annually but actual will vary based on a number of factors including a candidate’s professional background, experience, and location. Full details about our Total Rewards package will be provided during the recruitment process. Benefits:We support your life both in and outside of work.

## About AngelList

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: AngelList builds the financial system for private markets, providing the infrastructure where capital, creativity, and hard work come together to accelerate the rate of innovation.
- **Entity Type**: Private (venture-backed; $124.1M total funding across 8 rounds)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States (additional office in San Diego; workforce distributed across 31 countries)
- **Founded**: 2010
- **Founders**: Naval Ravikant and Babak Nivi

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Private market investment infrastructure / fintech (venture capital administration, fund management, startup investing)
- **Target customers**: B2B and B2C — fund managers, venture investors, syndicate leads, startups, and accredited/retail investors seeking access to private markets
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "The financial system for private markets." The company's stated goal is to solve the "ownership gap" for private companies — building the equivalent of public-market infrastructure (exchanges, custodians, transfer agents, brokers, retail distribution) for private markets, which now represent more than $28T in U.S. fund AUM.

## Products & Services
- **AngelList Funds**: The administration layer for venture capital — enables fund managers to launch and operate venture funds, SPVs, and syndicates on the platform.
- **USVC**: The brand behind retail access to venture investing, allowing non-institutional investors to participate in private-market deals.
- **Meridian**: The wealth layer for private markets; a platform for managing private-market assets and portfolio operations.
- **Nova** (coming soon): The banking and payments layer for private markets, announced as the next major product release.
- **Scout Funds & SPVs**: Additional investment vehicles supported on the platform alongside venture funds.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of $124.1M (8 prior rounds). Platform scale figures are conflicting across sources: LinkedIn reports **$171B in assets on platform, 25K+ funds and syndicates, and 72K active investors**, while Built In reports **$15B in assets for fund managers, 17K+ startup investments (including 287 unicorns), and 1.3K startups using founder services** — both cited below as conflicting reports.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not publicly available in the provided data sources.
- **Growth Signals**: Acquired Nova (banking/payments layer) in July 2023; acquired Prospectify (2019) and Product Hunt (2016, for $20M); has delivered $10B in capital to startups with a stated ambition to reach $10T; active hiring across Engineering, Data, Finance, Marketing, Legal, and Customer Success teams.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Network effects / de facto standard**: Positions itself as the default platform for startup investing, with 25K+ funds and syndicates and 72K active investors on platform (per LinkedIn data).
- **Full-stack private-market infrastructure**: Unlike point solutions, AngelList spans fund administration (Funds), retail access (USVC), wealth management (Meridian), and soon banking/payments (Nova) — a vertically integrated stack for private markets.
- **Data moat**: Years of transaction, fund, and investor data create switching costs for fund managers and investors alike.
- **Founder-friendly brand equity**: Long-standing reputation in the startup ecosystem, including backing 287 unicorns (per Built In).

## Strategic Focus
- **Launching Nova**: The banking and payments layer for private markets is positioned as the next major growth vector, completing the company's "financial system for private markets" vision.
- **Scaling Meridian**: Building out the wealth layer to serve private-market asset management at scale.
- **Expanding retail access**: Growing USVC to bring venture investing to a broader audience beyond accredited investors.
- **Growing platform AUM**: Pushing from $10B in capital delivered toward the stated $10T ambition.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: The company emphasizes high agency and ownership — described as "no ladders, only roads," where employees are expected to pave their own career paths and take on more than peers in the industry, faster, with less.
- **Work mode**: Hybrid roles available in San Francisco, CA and New York City, NY (e.g., Senior Platform Engineer, Investor Services Specialist, Investment Operations Associate).
- **Funder & founders program**: Employees can invest up to $100K from an AngelList fund into deals they source and earn 20% of the profits from those investments.
- **Financial wellbeing**: Competitive salary, 401K, equity, FSA, and access to a finance coach.
- **Healthcare**: Premium medical, dental, vision coverage, One Medical, wellness coach, FSA, Carrot fertility benefits, and generous parental leave.
- **Lifestyle perks**: Unlimited PTO, unlimited book stipend, wellness reimbursement, and a remote office budget (co-working/home office).
- **Office perks**: In-office meals, coffee walks, team offsites, commuter benefits, and safe rides home.
- **Team size (conflicting reports)**: The careers page cites a team of 140; LinkedIn reports 321 employees (-0.7% YoY); Built In reports 518 total employees across 3 offices.
