Venture Relations Associate

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.

Our Venture Relations team at AngelList serves as the main point of contact for our clients across our suite of private market software products. Our clients include some of the most exciting investors in the Venture Capital ecosystem, CFOs of multi-billion dollar private market funds, and operators within private fund management. The Venture Relations team partners with our clients to deliver a delightful product experience, drive retention, and enable growth.

In this role, you’ll serve as the operational center of excellence for AngelList’s customers by working closely with Account Managers to manage fund operations, troubleshoot client issues, and serve as subject matter expert on our software suite. You will work directly with General Partners, CFOs, and other external stakeholders to drive outcomes and focus on executing critical workflows to provide Account Managers and our customers with increased leverage. Internally, you will collaborate with sales, engineering, legal, finance, operations, and tax teams to enhance platform efficiency and track client challenges. 

Please note, this is not an investing role. This is a customer facing role.

This role will be a hybrid role in our NYC office only - expectations are that you are in the office 2-3 days a week.

You will:

• Support Venture Relations Account Managers and Team Leads by owning fund operation actions and product support issues for clients in your Team’s book of business.
• Execute operational tasks efficiently and effectively by ensuring that processes are followed, goals are met, and standards are maintained. You’ll continuously seek ways to improve operational efficiency.
• Deliver an exceptional client experience through accurate, concise, and action-oriented communications with fund managers, their investors, and portfolio companies
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to continuously surface new solutions for our GPs and achieve common goals. You’ll facilitate communication and coordination across functions to ensure smooth execution for client deliverables
