Head of Operations, Retail Funds

AI overview

Own the end-to-end fund operating model for USVC, driving innovation and automation in a transformative initiative that opens venture capital access to everyday investors.
Opening Retail Access to Venture Innovation builds the future and creates opportunity. Yet everyday investors remain locked out. We’re here to change that. For decades, only a select few well-connected participants could access America’s most promising private companies. That changes with USVC: an SEC-registered vehicle designed to open up top-tier, multi-stage venture capital to everyone. AngelList is supporting the launch with a strategic partner RIA managing the fund.  No accreditation. No decades-long lockups. No stacked carry. Just access to tomorrow’s defining companies in a single ticker. About the Role You are the engine powering USVC. You will own the end-to-end fund operating model—governance, service-provider management, NAV and reporting cycles, audit and filings, distribution and transfer agency coordination. USVC will break new ground and this role will require you to write the playbooks, not just follow them. In doing so, you will drive innovation, automation and a tech first back office.
