Investment Operations Lead

Range is creating AI-powered solutions to eliminate financial complexity for our members. We're transforming wealth management through the perfect blend of cutting-edge technology and human expertise. We're obsessed with member experience! We've built an integrated platform that tackles the full spectrum of financial needs–investments, taxes, retirement planning, and estate management–all unified in one intuitive system. Backed by Google's Gradient Ventures, Cathay Innovations, and Scale Venture Partners, we're in hyper-growth mode and looking for exceptional talent to join our starting lineup. Every Ranger at this stage is shaping our culture and way of life—from former CEOs and startup founders to experts from leading hedge funds and tech companies. If you're ready to build something that truly matters in financial services, bring your talent to Range. Here, you'll make a genuine impact on how people manage their financial lives while working alongside a team that celebrates wins, makes big decisions, and blazes new trails together. About the role Investment Operations is where a member's money actually moves. Our team owns the full operational lifecycle of a member's investment accounts—from the moment an application is submitted, through funding and investing, into ongoing rebalancing, and across every dollar that moves in or out along the way. You're a subject matter expert in at least three of our four core functions—Trading, Transfers, Account Lifecycle, and Investment Experience—and you can point to the improvements and automation you drove in each. You'll need little guidance on how to run operations, and you'll help the team connect daily work to where the firm is going. This is an individual contributor role today; in our ideal structure, a Lead grows into managing a team as we scale. You'll report to the Head of Investment Operations, work directly with members and our Certified Financial Planners, and act as second approver on work performed by Associates and Specialists—so you're not just spotting friction, you're the one signing off that a fix is sound before it ships. We're excited to hire this role at Range's Headquarters in McLean, VA, or in our New York City office (preferred). All of our positions follow an in-office schedule Monday through Friday, allowing you to collaborate directly with your team. If you're not currently based in one of these areas but love what you see, let's discuss relocation as part of your journey to joining us.
