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 Scale, Google's Gradient Ventures, and Cathay Innovations, we're in hyper-growth mode and looking for exceptional talent to join our starting lineup. We recently raised $60M in our Series C funding and want builders to help scale the company. 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

In this pivotal leadership role, you will own the design, execution, and evolution of our data strategy — from foundational data engineering, data management, and governance to advanced analytics and actionable business insights. You’ll help turn data into a competitive advantage that empowers teams across the company to make smarter, faster decisions. This role is ideal for a visionary leader who can rapidly build high-performing teams, strengthen data infrastructure, and champion a culture of data excellence across the business.
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 the area, but love what you see, let’s discuss relocation as part of your journey to joining us.
