About this job
At Range, we’re building towards a world where anyone can live the financial life they imagine for themselves. If that sounds like a mission you want to be a part of, let’s create it together.
We’re building AI-powered wealth management. Investments, taxes, retirement, estate planning, all in one platform instead of scattered across different advisors and apps. We're backed by Google's Gradient Ventures, Cathay Innovation, Scale Venture Partners, and more. We’re growing fast while still small enough that everyone's work is visible and impactful.
About the Role
As Head of People, you will own the full People strategy at Range as we scale. This role is responsible for building a high-functioning People organization, setting clear standards for how we hire, develop, and manage talent, and partnering closely with the CEO and executive team on organizational effectiveness.
You will design scalable people systems, lead through complexity, and serve as a trusted advisor on high-impact decisions related to performance, leadership, and culture.
What You’ll Do
Own and execute Range’s People strategy in support of business goals and rapid growth
Partner with the CEO and executive leadership on org design, workforce planning, and leadership development
Build and lead the internal HR team, setting clear ownership, expectations, and operating rhythms
Design and operate performance management systems, review cycles, calibration, and manager enablement
Establish consistent practices for employee relations, investigations, and performance outcomes
Define what is owned internally vs. by managers vs. outsourced partners (PEO, vendors)
Serve as the final decision-maker on complex people matters, balancing business needs, culture, and risk
Act as a culture steward, ensuring Range’s values and operating principles scale with the organization
What Sets You Apart
12+ years' experience leading People/HR functions in high-growth, tech-forward environments
Strong judgment and comfort owning high-stakes decisions with minimal direction
Proven ability to influence senior leaders and shape company culture
Deep experience across performance management, employee relations, and org design
Builder mindset — you enjoy creating systems, not inheriting them
Compensation
Base salary range: $200,000 – $300,000
This is the base salary range we expect in good faith to pay for this role at the time of posting. Where an offer lands within the range depends on the scope and complexity of work the candidate can own independently and demonstrated depth at this level.
Other Compensation and Benefits
The range above reflects base salary only. Our offer packages also include equity in the form of stock options, so total compensation for this role will exceed the base salary range.
We do not ask for or consider salary history. You are welcome to ask questions about compensation at any point in the process.
Benefits
Health & Wellness: 100% employer-covered medical insurance for employees (75% for dependents), plus dental and vision coverage

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
