Product Manager, Accounting

AngelList • San Francisco, CA

8d • $200,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

As the Product Manager for Accounting, you’ll own the core accounting foundation that powers AngelList’s fund administration platform. Your mission is to build a durable, institutional-grade accounting system—and reimagine how fund accounting workflows operate when software, automation, and AI are first-class citizens.

This role focuses on the systems that make fund administration reliable and scalable: AngelList’s native accounting platform, the workflow layer that coordinates accounting operations, and integrations with third-party accounting tools where needed. You’ll design primitives that can support increasingly complex fund structures while maintaining correctness, auditability, and operational efficiency.

A central part of this opportunity is using AI to transform accounting from a labor-intensive service into scalable software—automating reconciliations, exception handling, and review processes to raise quality while lowering marginal cost. The systems you build will be foundational to taking AngelList from $171B in assets on platform to trillions.
You’ll enjoy this role if you like hard systems problems, care deeply about correctness, and are excited to redefine how institutional accounting actually works.

Requirements

• Have 5+ years of experience in product management, with ownership of complex financial, accounting, or operational systems
• Have built or worked closely with accounting platforms such as general ledgers, sub-ledgers, or financial close systems
• Understand fund accounting concepts such as capital accounts, allocations, NAVs, and period-end close mechanics
• Are a strong systems thinker who enjoys designing primitives, workflows, and abstractions that others can build on safely
• Have technical fluency and are comfortable collaborating with engineers on data models, system architecture, and APIs
• Are excited by the idea of using AI to fundamentally change how accounting work is performed—not just automate isolated steps
• Care deeply about correctness, reliability, and auditability, and understand why accounting systems must never “mostly work”

Responsibilities

• Owning AngelList’s core fund accounting systems, including general ledger design, capital account mechanics, transaction modeling, and financial close processes
• Designing a durable accounting data model that supports multiple fund structures, strategies, and regulatory requirements at scale
• Building and managing the workflow layer that orchestrates accounting operations across internal systems, AI agents, and third-party accounting tools
• Using AI to automate and augment accounting workflows such as reconciliations, variance detection, reviews, and exception handling
• Ensuring ledger integrity, auditability, and correctness across all accounting operations and downstream reporting
• Writing clear, detailed product requirements that translate complex accounting and operational concepts into executable plans
• Partnering closely with engineering and operations teams to ensure the system works in real-world fund administration scenarios
• Raising the quality bar for accounting accuracy, speed of close, and operational scalability across the platform
