About the Role:

Successful companies are built by exceptional people. We're hiring a Talent Acceleration Lead to help our best people deepen their craft faster than they could anywhere else.

Development work usually makes people feel better without making them better. This role exists to ask, “What can our best people do now that they couldn't six months ago?” You'll be accountable to that question and expected to show your work.

This is a senior IC role, with company-wide ownership, reporting to the Head of People Partners.

Responsibilities:

  • Get new hires to meaningful impact faster. Own and expand our onboarding programs.
  • Diagnose and close skill gaps. Look at a person or a team, identify what's missing, and orchestrate the right fix.
  • Own the development experience end to end. Design, run, and iterate on our learning programs.
  • Build AI into how we develop people. Personalize learning, automate program operations, and raise the bar.
  • Learn the business deeply. Build fluency in our products, people, and systems so every learning solution is grounded in how AngelList actually works.

You may be a good fit if you:

  • 5+ years of owning outcomes for other people’s performance — as a business partner, head of people at a small company, chief of staff, enablement lead, management consultant, founder, or a long run in L&D
  • can tell the difference between a workshop that people enjoyed and one that changed how they work
  • are commercially minded, working backwards from the business problem instead of taking asks at face value
  • made a strong performer dramatically better, and can name them
  • taught yourself something hard, that nobody asked for, and shipped it with AI
  • have strong opinions about em dashes

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. $200B+ in assets run on AngelList infrastructure. We have powered investments into almost 30,000 startups, including 490+ unicorns, and 40+ decacorns. Today, 57% of top-tier U.S. VC deals involve investors on AngelList. Our scale is large; our ambition is larger.

Why Join AngelList

    For more than a century, public markets were how most Americans participated in capitalism. That layer has thinned. The number of publicly traded U.S. companies has been cut in half since the 1990s, and the companies defining this era accumulate unprecedented value before they reach a public exchange — if they reach one at all. Hundreds of millions of people use their products every day. Few have an accessible way to own them.

    People feel differently about change when they have a stake in it. Public markets solved this a century ago with exchanges, custodians, transfer agents, brokers, and retail distribution. Private markets — now more than $28T in U.S. fund AUM — never had the equivalent. Millions of Americans had no path to ownership in private companies. So we built one.

    Here, you'll work with a team that values precision, urgency, and long-term thinking.
