About AngelList:

We exist to accelerate innovation by increasing the number of successful startups in the world. We want to give more people the opportunity to participate in the venture economy by building the financial infrastructure that makes it possible for more people to invest in world changing startups, and build tools for startups that help them run their operations so they can focus on building.

AngelList is the nexus of venture capital and the startup community. We support over $124B+ assets on our platform, and we’ve driven capital to over 12,000 startups, almost 282 of which are unicorns. 57% of top-tier U.S. VC deals involve investors on AngelList.

While our scale is large, our ambitions are even larger – we’re innovating on the financial infrastructure for venture investors and the startups they invest in. Come build with us.

About the Role:

We are looking for a Senior Designer who is interested in leading the design for large surface areas of the platform revolving around financial reporting. While some of your work is customer-facing, the majority of it will be for the internal AngelList team.

You will collaborate with our engineering team to identify the biggest time-sinks and design solutions looking at the entire process online and offline. This role is mostly independent so the ideal candidate should be excited about the 0 → 1 process.

You will report to our Product Design Lead.

You will:

Lead the design for a new financial reporting tool used by the AngelList team
Collaborate with designers working on the customer-facing product to ensure data accuracy and alignment
Identify areas of opportunity to improve efficiency of service
Guide product vision and achieve it through research synthesis and design explorations
Work closely with XFN partners to solicit feedback to ensure project outcomes are being met
Leverage your expertise and judgement to work quickly while also choosing the moments to propose research initiatives to fill in the gaps
Use and contribute to evolving design systems and standards
Take on complex, interdependent, projects and seek the information required to fill in any missing gaps

Other characteristics of the ideal candidate:

Has a high bar for craft (data visualization and typography) and a strong desire to deliver a consumer-level experience to internal customers
Excited by system-level product or service design work; you don’t mind working on products where customers will not see your work directly
Years of design experience are not always an indicator of quality but we find the ideal candidates to have over 8 years of relevant experience
Comfortable being a sole contributor to high-impact projects

How Success will be Measured in this Role:

Efficiency improvements: successfully identify and design solutions that significantly reduce the amount of time required to complete tasks internally
User satisfaction: achieve high levels of satisfaction among users measured by positive feedback

If you don’t tick every box above, we’d still encourage you to apply. We’re building a diverse team whose skills balance and complement one another.

AngelList has offices in two hub cities: San Francisco and New York City that you can choose to work from. We’re focused on hiring within these hubs and people within 1 hour travel distance of the hub offices are expected to come into the office twice per week. From time to time, we will make rare exceptions for new hires if they need to be fully remote.

Benefits: We support our employees in their lives both inside and outside of work.
