Job Description
Why Join AngelList
We’re solving some of the hardest problems in venture capital and private markets. You’ll work with a team that values precision, urgency, and long-term thinking. If you want to shape how startups are funded and built, this is the place.
About AngelList
We exist to accelerate innovation by increasing the number of successful startups in the world. We do this by building the financial infrastructure that makes it easier for more people to invest in world-changing companies.
AngelList is the nexus of venture capital and the startup community. We support $171B+ in assets and have powered investments into over 13,000 startups—over 300 of which are unicorns. Today, 57% of top-tier U.S. VC deals involve investors on AngelList. While our scale is large, our ambition is larger.
If you're excited to build the future of private markets, come build with us.
About the Role
AngelList is hiring a Head of Anti-Money Laundering to join our Compliance team in New York or San Francisco (hybrid). This role sits at the intersection of fintech innovation and regulatory integrity. You'll own the AML program and compliance relationship with our banking partners end-to-end, keeping our partner network healthy and our programs exam-ready as we scale.
Day-to-day, you'll serve as the go-to compliance contact for the banks we work with, building real trust with our counterparts. Internally, you'll work closely with our KYC/TM Ops, Product, and Engineering teams optimizing process and systems. You'll also be a core contributor to the compliance buildout for Nova, meaning your fingerprints will be on something new, not just something inherited. What makes this role rare: you're not joining a large bank compliance department where you're one of fifty. You're the person. Partners will know your name, and what you build here will actually matter.
If you're energized by the idea of owning something important at a company that moves fast and takes compliance as a competitive advantage, this is your seat. You'll get real scope, real relationships, and a front-row view of how fintech compliance gets built right.
