About ClaimAngel

ClaimAngel is transforming how justice is financed through our tech marketplace. We've facilitated 20,000+ fundings and built the nation's first transparent legal funding marketplace, connecting law firms, funders, and plaintiffs with standardized, fair pricing.

Now, we're hiring a Vice President of Operations to architect, scale, and lead the operational systems that power our rapid growth. You'll oversee the teams, technology, and processes that turn ClaimAngel into a high-efficiency, high-trust operating engine, using data to drive every decision.

What You'll Do

  • Own and optimize all operational workflows, from case intake through underwriting, funding, repayment, and compliance, using data to identify bottlenecks and measure improvements.
  • Build and lead a 20+ person team across operations, compliance, and partner success, with clear performance metrics and accountability structures.
  • Design and implement dashboards, reporting systems, and automation that give real-time visibility into operational health.
  • Manage P&L performance, forecasting, and operational KPIs. You'll know our numbers cold and use them to prioritize ruthlessly.
  • Partner directly with the founders on strategic planning, process design, and product improvement, bringing data-backed recommendations to every conversation.
  • Foster a high-performance culture where decisions are grounded in evidence, not gut feel.


Who You Are

  • 5-15+ years of operations leadership experience in fintech, financial services, or other regulated, transaction-intensive industries.
  • Proven track record building and leading teams of 15+.
  • Deeply analytical. You instinctively ask "what does the data say?" before making decisions.
  • Expert in process design, systems scaling, and building reporting infrastructure from scratch.
  • Comfortable owning P&L and constructing KPI frameworks that actually drive behavior.
  • Thrives in founder-led, fast-growth environments where you'll build the plane while flying it.
  • Excellent communicator who can translate data insights into action for technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Bachelor's degree required; MBA or similar preferred.


Why Join ClaimAngel

  • Build something that matters. We're not optimizing ad clicks. We're helping injured people pay rent while they wait for fair settlements. Every operational improvement you make has real human impact.
  • Ground-floor equity in a category leader. We've processed $100M+ in funding and are just getting started. You'll shape how this company scales, with compensation that reflects that.
  • Work with founders who get it. No bureaucracy, no politics. Direct partnership with a leadership team that moves fast, trusts data, and gives you real ownership.
  • Greenfield opportunity. You're not inheriting someone else's broken systems. You'll architect the operational infrastructure for a company positioned to define an industry.
  • South Florida lifestyle, startup upside. Boca Raton office, competitive comp, and the chance to build something you're proud of.
