Venture Associate Jobs in Virginia (NOW HIRING)

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 Innovation, 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.

Range is seeking an Associate General Counsel to take ownership of a wide range of legal issues, including contracts and transactional work, as well as regulatory matters. Reporting to the Chief Legal Officer, you will be the day‑to‑day legal partner our business teams come to first—turning around agreements quickly, spotting the issues that actually matter, and giving clear answers rather than long memos.

This is a builder's role at an early‑stage legal function. You will own contract review and negotiation end to end, work shoulder to shoulder with our compliance team on the regulatory questions that come with operating in an investment adviser/broker‑dealer environment, and support the corporate and transactional work that comes with hyper‑growth. You'll see the full range of issues a modern fintech faces, with real responsibility from day one and a direct line to the executive team.

We're excited to hire this role at Range's Headquarters in McLean, VA. 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.

• Draft, review, revise, and negotiate commercial agreements, including vendor, SaaS and technology, and NDAs.

• Move contracts through the full lifecycle, and build the templates and playbooks that let Range move faster as volume grows.

• Partner closely with compliance on regulatory matters affecting our investment advisor and broker‑dealer businesses, including marketing review, member‑facing disclosures, and policies and procedures.

• Support the Chief Legal Officer on responses to regulatory inquiries and examinations.

• Be a responsive, plain‑English legal resource to product, engineering, finance, sales, marketing, and operations.

• Support corporate and transactional work alongside the Chief Legal Officer including financings, strategic partnerships, M&A diligence, board resolutions, equity documentation, and entity records.

• Work with product and engineering to surface legal and regulatory considerations early on new products and platform capabilities.

• Track legal and regulatory developments across fintech and wealth management, and help shape Range's response.

• Build internal training and self‑service resources so business teams know when to bring Legal in.

• Support the management of outside counsel on specialized matters.

• JD from an accredited law school and active membership in at least one U.S. state bar (VA, DC, or MD preferred, or eligibility to register as in‑house counsel).

• 3+ years of post-JD experience, including time in‑house at a technology company, financial services firm, or fintech organization.

• Corporate/transactional or regulatory background, ideally with a mix of law firm and in‑house experience.

• Proven ability to draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements independently and at volume.

• Strong business judgment. You weigh legal risk against commercial objectives and make a clear recommendation.

• Excellent drafting and communication skills, translating complex legal issues into clear business guidance.

• Comfort with a fast‑paced startup environment: incomplete information, competing priorities, shifting scope.

• Genuine willingness to learn the regulatory frameworks that govern our business.

• Health & Wellness: 100% employer‑covered medical insurance for employees (75% for dependents), plus dental and vision coverage

• 401(k): Retirement savings program to support your future

• Paid Time Off: Dedicated time to reset and recharge plus most federal holidays

• Parental Leave: Comprehensive leave policy for growing families

• Meals: Select meals covered throughout the week

• Fitness: Monthly movement stipend

• Equity & Career Growth: Early exercise eligibility and a strong focus on professional development

• Full access to cutting‑edge AI tools: We cover the cost so you can experiment, build, and move faster

• Annual Compensation Reviews: Salary and equity refreshes based on performance

• Boomerang Program: After two years at Range, you can take time away to start your own company. We’ll hold your spot for 6 months - and pause your equity vesting, which resumes if you return
