Head of Strategic Finance hybrid / Full Time San Francisco, CA

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 $124B+ assets on our platform, and we’ve driven capital to over 12,000 startups, almost 282 of which are unicorns. 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.

About the Role

Our mission is to accelerate innovation by connecting capital to the most promising startups. We believe the bottleneck isn’t capital or ambition. It’s the infrastructure in between. AngelList is building that infrastructure.

Finance at AngelList isn’t a back-office function, it’s a growth lever. This role exists to turn every dollar into a strategic advantage. Whether it’s how we price, where we invest, or which bets we double down on, your work will power the decisions that shape our trajectory.

You’ll report to the CFO and lead our FP&A, Strategic Finance, and Sales Operations teams — three force-multiplying functions that sit at the center of how we prioritize and execute. Your team will bring clarity to complexity, transform analysis into action, and ensure we’re always moving capital and headcount in the direction of highest return.

You’ll help define and drive:

- Pricing frameworks for capital marketplace products that could reshape venture capital flows

- Revenue unlocks from under-monetized products by partnering with Product and Engineering

- Commercialization strategy for new datasets, including pricing, packaging, and GTM experimentation-

- Growth decisions at the leadership level: what levers we pull, in what order, and with what expected return

This role is for someone who sees finance as a creative, strategic craft, not just a control function. Someone who wants to build and compound value in a company reinventing how private markets work.

Responsibilities

• Lead FP&A, Strategic Finance, and Sales Operations across the company.
• Own financial planning cycles and unit economics across business lines.
• Build models and dashboards that guide executive and cross-functional decisions.
• Drive monetization experiments with Product, GTM, and Engineering.
• Define pricing and business models for new products and datasets.
• Oversee board and investor reporting, ensuring clarity and data integrity.
• Set and track sales performance metrics, forecast accuracy, and CAC/LTV efficiency.
• Hire, develop, and retain top finance talent.

What We’re Looking For

• 9–12 years in finance roles, ideally within high-growth tech environments.
• Early training in consulting (e.g., McKinsey, Bain) or banking (e.g., Goldman, JPMorgan).
• Experience leading FP&A or strategic finance at companies scaling from <$100M to $500M+ ARR.
• Deep modeling and analytical capabilities, with a bias for clarity and influence.
• Track record of building and scaling high-performing teams.
• Cross-functional fluency with GTM, Product, and Engineering partners.
• Strong communication skills; able to synthesize complexity into actionable insights.
• Comfort operating in fast-paced, high-ambiguity environments.

If you don’t tick every box above, we’d still encourage you to apply. We’re building a diverse team whose skills balance and complement one another.

AngelList has offices in two hub cities: San Francisco and New York City that you can choose to work from. We’re focused on hiring within these hubs and people hired from these hub offices are expected to come into the office twice per week (Tuesdays and choice between Wednesday or Thursday). From time to time, we will make rare exceptions for new hires if they need to be fully remote.

Compensation: The compensation for this role consists of a competitive base salary, benefits, and equity package. The base salary for this role is $245,000+ annually but actual will vary based on a number of factors including a candidate’s professional background, experience, and location. Additional details about our Total Rewards package will be provided during the recruitment process.

Benefits: We support our employees in their lives both inside and outside of work.
