Head of Public Relations

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 Scale, Gradient Ventures and Cathay Innovations, 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.

We're looking for a Head of Public Relations to own how Range is understood in the market. Reporting directly to our CEO, you'll build our earned media program from the ground up — the narrative, the reporter relationships, and the cadence of coverage that makes Range a named leader in AI-powered wealth management. You'll also build the capability we need on the days the news is not ours to choose: a crisis and issues function that lets a fast-moving, SEC-registered firm respond quickly, accurately, and within the rules. This is a builder's seat with founder-level visibility and real consequence.

We're excited to hire this role at Range's Headquarters in McLean, VA or our NYC location. 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 here, but love what you see, let's discuss relocation options as part of your journey to joining us.

• →

  Own Range's external narrative end to end — build the message house, the fact base, and the boilerplate that everyone from Sales to Recruiting works from.

• →

  Build and personally carry relationships with the reporters covering fintech, wealth management, AI, and personal finance, and turn them into sustained coverage that does not depend on funding announcements.

• →

  Run announcement strategy for funding, product, partnership, and people news — including embargoes, exclusives, and the lead time that lets Compliance review real work rather than a fire drill.

• →

  Stand up our crisis and issues management capability: severity tiers, named owners, pre-cleared holding statements, escalation paths, and tabletop exercises with leadership.

• →

  Partner with Compliance and Legal to build a communications review standard that is fast enough to use and rigorous enough for an SEC-registered investment adviser — including how we substantiate the claims we make about AI and performance.

• →

  Prepare and protect our spokespeople: media training, briefing documents, and a bench deep enough that the founders are not the only voice.

• →

  Own the agency relationship, budget, and performance, and build the measurement — share of voice, message pull-through, coverage quality — that tells leadership whether any of it is working.

• 12+ years in communications or public relations, with meaningful in-house time at a high-growth company; experience in financial services, fintech, or another regulated, high-scrutiny category.

• A track record of landing sustained tier-one and trade coverage through relationships you built yourself, not only through an agency.

• Real crisis experience — you have been the person writing the statement while the story was moving, and you can talk honestly about what you learned.

• Working fluency in the regulatory constraints on financial communications (SEC marketing rule, claims substantiation, testimonial and performance rules) and the judgment to find the compliant version of a good story.

• Credibility with founders and executives, including the standing to push back — and the track record that earns it.

• A builder's instinct. You are comfortable as a team of one with agency support in year one, writing the plan and the press release yourself.

• Genuine fluency in AI and technology. Our category is being written about constantly, and reporters will know within one call whether you understand what we actually built.
