About AngelList:
We exist to accelerate innovation by increasing the number of successful startups in the world. We want to give more people the opportunity to participate in the venture economy by building the financial infrastructure that makes it possible for more people to invest in world changing startups, and build tools for startups that help them run their operations so they can focus on building.
AngelList is the nexus of venture capital and the startup community. We support over $171B+ assets on our platform, and we’ve driven capital to over 13,000 startups. 57% of top-tier U.S. VC deals involve investors on AngelList.
While our scale is large, our ambitions are even larger – we’re innovating on the financial infrastructure for venture investors and the startups they invest in. Come build with us.
Why This Role?
You won’t just be filling roles — you’ll be shaping the future of AngelList by identifying, engaging, and hiring standout talent that drives our business forward.

- Lead by example as a high-impact, low-ego contributor on our lean, focused team
Ideal Background:
- Director-to-executive-level operator from a reputationally strong and operationally complex high-growth company
- Experience in complex (and ideally highly-technical) environments that have precise hiring requirements and have built elite engineering teams.
- Has managed teams of significant size and yet prefers small teams and to be hands-on or close to the work
- Prior experience with elite Talent brands during key periods of growth
Why This Role is Unique:
- Strong bones to Talent function
