Job description

About AngelList

Private markets are the new public markets. The most important companies of this era are private, and almost no one can own them. What's missing is the financial system public markets spent a century building: exchanges, custodians, brokers, and ways for ordinary people to buy in. Private markets, now $28T, never had the equivalent. AngelList is building it.

The last decade of structural innovation in venture happened here: syndicates, SPVs at scale, Rolling Funds, scout programs. Today we have $200B+ in assets and 30,000+ startups funded on our platform. The rest of private markets is next. Funds is the software and services behind private funds, Nova is the banking network, Meridian is the wealth platform for accredited investors, and USVC is the brand behind a registered fund that lets anyone invest in venture.

Working here means an unusual amount of agency on a problem that matters. Titles are closer to suggestions, and there are about 200 of us building what private markets never had. Come build it with us.

About the Role:

Meridian Platform Securities LLC is a registered broker-dealer and placement agent built for the modern private markets. We work with fund managers, sponsors, and issuers to connect capital with opportunity, with the rigor, structure, and integrity that investors demand. Compliance is not an afterthought here. It is core infrastructure, and we are looking for a CCO who sees it that way too.

You will own compliance end to end. That means building and maintaining the regulatory framework that lets us grow confidently rather than reactively, serving as our Series 24 principal, and holding the primary relationship with FINRA, the SEC, and applicable state regulators. You will be a trusted partner to leadership and a strategic resource for the deal team. You will be our first in-house CCO, standing the program up and taking it over from a vendor handoff already in motion.

You'll be in the room when deals and new products take shape, so compliance moves at the same speed as the deal team, finding the creative compliant path to “yes” on deal timelines. The program you build will scale with the firm. You'll start with a lean team and a live exam already underway.
