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.

As Head of Alternative Investments, you will own and build the alternative investments strategy and platform at Range. This is a leadership role responsible for designing the investment philosophy, sourcing and underwriting opportunities, and building the infrastructure needed to deploy billions of dollars of AUM into alternative asset classes on behalf of our members.

You will set alternatives strategy, manage and grow a high-performing team, and oversee a critical and highly visible function at Range. This role sits at the intersection of investment strategy, technology, and client experience — partnering closely with Planning, Investment Operations, Product, and Compliance to bring institutional-quality alternatives access to our members.

We're excited to hire this role at Range's Headquarters in McLean, VA or our New York City hub. 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.
