Financial Partnerships Lead

Private markets are the new public markets. The most important companies of this era are private, and almost no one can own them. What's missing is the financial system public markets spent a century building: exchanges, custodians, brokers, and ways for ordinary people to buy in. Private markets, now $28T, never had the equivalent. AngelList is building it.

The last decade of structural innovation in venture happened here: syndicates, SPVs at scale, Rolling Funds, scout programs. Today we have $200B+ in assets and 30,000+ startups funded on our platform. The rest of private markets is next. Funds is the software and services behind private funds, Nova is the banking network, Meridian is the wealth platform for accredited investors, and USVC is the brand behind a registered fund that lets anyone invest in venture.

Working here means an unusual amount of agency on a problem that matters. Titles are closer to suggestions, and there are about 200 of us building what private markets never had. Come build it with us.

Every year, trillions of dollars move from investors to funds and from funds to companies in private markets. Every time that money moves, everyone holds their breath a little. Did these millions go to the right account? Will investor capital land in time for the deployment?

Nova is the payments network that solves this. We've run it inside AngelList for five years, moving $90B between funds and investors without the risk of sending money to the wrong place or arriving late. Now we're opening it to the rest of venture, private equity, and real estate.

The Financial Partnerships Lead oversees the bank, infrastructure, and credit partners that support Nova. You will select partners, negotiate terms, and ensure each relationship delivers and accelerates our roadmap. This senior IC role reports to Nova’s GM and has a path to building a team.

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 $235,000+ 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.
