Range is creating AI-powered solutions to eliminate financial complexity for our members. We're transforming wealth management through the perfect blend of cutting-edge technology and human expertise. We're obsessed with member experience! We've built an integrated platform that tackles the full spectrum of financial needs-investments, taxes, retirement planning, and estate management-all unified in one intuitive system.
Backed by Google's Gradient Ventures, Cathay Innovations, and Scale Venture Partners, we're in hyper-growth mode and looking for exceptional talent to join our starting lineup. Every Ranger at this stage is shaping our culture and way of life-from former CEOs and startup founders to experts from leading hedge funds and tech companies.
If you're ready to build something that truly matters in financial services, bring your talent to Range. Here, you'll make a genuine impact on how people manage their financial lives while working alongside a team that celebrates wins, makes big decisions, and blazes new trails together.
About the role
Investment Operations is where a member's money actually moves. Our team owns the full operational lifecycle of a member's investment accounts-from the moment an application is submitted, through funding and investing, into ongoing rebalancing, and across every dollar that moves in or out along the way.
You already run all four of our core functions-Trading, Transfers, Account Lifecycle, and Investment Experience-independently, and here you'll start training Associates on them. The path from Specialist to Lead is measured by how many functions you can teach, how little guidance you need, and the automation and process improvements you ship on your own rather than contribute to. You'll report to the Head of Investment Operations on a small team where individual contribution is highly visible, and you'll work directly with members and our Certified Financial Planners. That vantage point shows you where our process breaks, and at this level we expect you to own the fix-within your approval limits, from proposal through execution-not just raise your hand.
We're excited to hire this role at Range's Headquarters in McLean, VA, or in our New York City office (preferred). All of our positions follow an in-office schedule Monday through Friday, allowing you to collaborate directly with your team. If you're not currently based in one of these areas but love what you see, let's discuss relocation as part of your journey to joining us.
What you'll do with us
Run all four core functions-Trading, Transfers, Account Lifecycle, and Investment Experience-independently, and train at least one Associate on one of them
Own the trading process end to end, from suitability review through daily rebalancing checks, with approval authority within defined limits
Keep member funds moving accurately and on time, and independently resolve the transfer issues that would otherwise keep a member from being invested
Guide accounts from approved application to fully invested, clearing operational blockers with only occasional oversight
Serve as a licensed point of contact for members and a resource Associates escalate to
Own at least one shipped automation or process improvement, rather than only contributing to work led by others
Partner with CFPs and the broader investments team, with growing exposure to investment management and portfolio modeling
What will set you apart
4-6+ years of experience in investment operations, brokerage operations, or a comparable financial services role
Deep familiarity with custodial or clearing platforms and core brokerage workflows, including where those workflows tend to break
A track record of running operations functions without supervision, and explaining a process clearly enough that someone else could execute it
Sharp attention to detail and sound judgment on when to act within approval limits versus escalate
A bias toward shipping improvements, not just proposing them
Clear written and verbal communication, with the confidence to talk directly to members
Series 7, 63, or 65/66 required; FinTech, RIA, or broker-dealer experience a plus

Base salary range: $100,000 - $200,000
