Job description

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.

About the role

The People Operations Specialist role is the operational backbone of the People function at Range. You will own the employee lifecycle experience, manage day-to-day HR operations, and act as the primary internal owner of our PEO relationship.

This role requires strong execution, sound judgment, and the ability to independently run core HR processes in a fast-moving environment.

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.

What you’ll do with us

• Own onboarding and offboarding processes end-to-end, ensuring a smooth employee experience

• Manage timesheet and payroll inputs and coordinate closely with our PEO and Finance

• Serve as the primary owner of HR systems, data accuracy, reporting, and audits

• Triage and resolve employee questions related to benefits, policies, and HR processes

• Maintain and improve HR documentation, policies, and self-service resources

• Partner with the Head of People and HRBP to improve and scale people operations

• Identify process gaps and proactively implement improvements

What will set you apart

• 4+ years experience

• Experience running HR operations in a fast-paced environment, ideally in the tech startup space

• Strong attention to detail paired with good judgment

• Ability to manage multiple priorities independently

• Comfort partnering with external vendors and internal stakeholders

• Desire to build scalable systems, not just execute tasks

Benefits

• 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
