Strategic Finance Lead, Funds hybrid / Full Time San Francisco, CA / New York City, NY

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 $171 B+ 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: AngelList’s Funds business moves capital to startups at scale. The hardest ongoing question is how to deploy resources across go‑to‑market, product, engineering, customer relations, and operations. We’re looking for someone who will operate with the autonomy and scope of a division CFO, and your fingerprints should be visible on the decisions made, investments pursued, and outcomes achieved. As a member of the Funds leadership team, you will own the central planning model that sets growth targets and informs where we invest. You'll work with leaders across the business to find opportunities, evaluate investments, and build conviction on where to invest next. Pricing and packaging are yours, and so is the question of where the money is made - including unit economics across customers and product lines. This is not a traditional finance role. Success is whether the business makes better decisions and accelerates growth. You'll form a point of view quickly, navigate ambiguity, and drive alignment across a talented, opinionated leadership team. Responsibilities: Own the Funds division narrative on financial performance, constraints, and outlook including mastery of Funds P&L. Shape where capital, headcount, and resources go across go‑to‑market, product, engineering, customer relations, and operations — pressure‑testing new initiatives and existing plans, and owning the call on what to fund and what to cut. Drive quarterly growth planning and target‑setting, including bookings, pipeline generation, quota, and sales compensation. Develop strategy, policy, and operations to manage product pricing and deal desk, rooted in detailed understanding of unit economics. What we’re looking for: You’ve owned growth planning for a rapidly growing business or product line, with 6+ years of experience across strategic finance, consulting, or corporate strategy. You built it, not reported on it. You form a sharp point of view on where to invest and build conviction around it. You work with product, engineering, GTM, and ops to get to the right call together, and you carry the decision through to execution. You’ve stopped funding a project people believed in, and brought them along on why. You’ve built the commercial mechanics: sales planning, incentive design, and pricing, all grounded in unit economics. Your analysis is sharp and aimed straight at the question. You use AI to get there faster, applying it where it earns its place rather than by default. You’ve operated with broad scope and no playbook. You make senior judgment calls before the data is clean, and shape your own mandate rather than wait to be handed one. You bias to action. You'd rather make the call in days and correct course than spend weeks on a cleaner answer. You communicate to executives in writing, in person, and in charts. You distill a complex problem to the handful of points that move the decision. How success will be measured: Leadership has conviction on where the next dollar of capital goes, and why. The Funds leadership team plans off one model it trusts, with targets, performance, and tradeoffs in one place. There's a clear, consistent narrative on financial performance and which growth levers to prioritize. The business hits its growth and profitability targets. 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. AngelList has offices in a few cities, New York City and San Francisco. We have a hybrid in-office model: teammates come in at least 2 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 $170,000+ 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.
