Strategic Finance Lead, Funds

AngelList•New York City, NY

1d•$170,000•Hybrid

About The Position

AngelList’s Funds business moves capital to startups at scale. The hardest ongoing question is how to deploy resources across go-to-market, product, engineering, customer relations, and operations. We’re looking for someone who will operate with the autonomy and scope of a division CFO, and your fingerprints should be visible on the decisions made, investments pursued, and outcomes achieved. As a member of the Funds leadership team, you will own the central planning model that sets growth targets and informs where we invest. You'll work with leaders across the business to find opportunities, evaluate investments, and build conviction on where to invest next. Pricing and packaging are yours, and so is the question of where the money is made - including unit economics across customers and product lines. This is not a traditional finance role. Success is whether the business makes better decisions and accelerates growth. You'll form a point of view quickly, navigate ambiguity, and drive alignment across a talented, opinionated leadership team.

Requirements

Owned growth planning for a rapidly growing business or product line, with 6+ years of experience across strategic finance, consulting, or corporate strategy.
Built it, not reported on it.
Form a sharp point of view on where to invest and build conviction around it.
Work with product, engineering, GTM, and ops to get to the right call together, and carry the decision through to execution.
Stopped funding a project people believed in, and brought them along on why.
Built the commercial mechanics: sales planning, incentive design, and pricing, all grounded in unit economics.
Analysis is sharp and aimed straight at the question.
Use AI to get there faster, applying it where it earns its place rather than by default.
Operated with broad scope and no playbook.
Make senior judgment calls before the data is clean, and shape your own mandate rather than wait to be handed one.
Bias to action. Rather make the call in days and correct course than spend weeks on a cleaner answer.
Communicate to executives in writing, in person, and in charts.
Distill a complex problem to the handful of points that move the decision.

Nice To Haves

If you don’t meet every requirement above, we still encourage you to apply. We value complementary strengths and operators who learn by doing.

Responsibilities

Own the Funds division narrative on financial performance, constraints, and outlook including mastery of Funds P&L.
Shape where capital, headcount, and resources go across go-to-market, product, engineering, customer relations, and operations — pressure-testing new initiatives and existing plans, and owning the call on what to fund and what to cut.
Drive quarterly growth planning and target-setting, including bookings, pipeline generation, quota, and sales compensation.
Develop strategy, policy, and operations to manage product pricing and deal desk, rooted in detailed understanding of unit economics.
