About Arca Arca is a wealth management firm built from the ground up with AI. Most people get financial advice that's reactive: an annual check-in, a plan that's a document instead of a living thing, a relationship where you're one of three hundred clients your advisor is trying to remember. We think that's backwards. The kind of service that used to require a team of specialists behind you, the kind that makes you feel like the only person in the room, should be available to far more than the ultra-wealthy. So we're building it. We're not SaaS — we are the wealth management business, rebuilding it from the inside with AI. Our platform is an Iron Man suit for advisors: it takes over the low-leverage work so they can focus on what actually requires a human, showing up with empathy, context, and judgment. Underneath, it keeps a living understanding of each client. It remembers the thing you mentioned once, six months ago. It notices when your life changes — a new job, a new kid, a market shift — and adjusts before you think to ask. You won't see the technology. You'll just notice your advisor seems to know you better than any financial professional ever has. That's the product we're growing: client by client, on the strength of the experience itself. We started by acquiring firms managing over $1B in client assets, which gave us real advisors, real clients, and real financial outcomes to build against from day one. But acquisition was the starting line. The bet is that an advisor backed by this platform delivers something good enough that clients come to us on their own. It's a $20T market, and we think it's ready to be rebuilt. — Rron, CEO The receipts • Stage: Series A, $64M raised • Backed by: General Catalyst, Index Ventures, Venrock • Board & Advisors: Former CEO of Vanguard, Former CFO of Schwab, Founder of Altruist, Morgan Housel (author of The Psychology of Money) The team We’re small on purpose and engineering heavy: about 80% of the team is technical. We’re based in NYC and hail from high growth startups like Stripe, Ramp, Rippling, Plaid, Doordash, & Glean. We’re fully in-office in Flatiron, five days a week—lunch together, coffee breaks, basketball games, happy hours. The role As Arca's first Head of Product, you’ll own what we build and how it feels to use. We're not selling software into wealth management; we are the wealth management firm, so the product is the experience our own clients and advisors live in every day. The advisor platform is live and advisors have moved real client assets onto it. The next chapter is the consumer: defining what financial services look like when they're built AI-first from the start, not a traditional experience with a chatbot layered on top. You'll work directly with the founder and the engineering team, set the vision and the roadmap, and stay hands-on enough to test hypotheses and ship alongside them. If it's product, you own it. What you’ll own • The consumer experience, end to end. Every surface where clients meet Arca, starting with a client portal and extending to an app and new touchpoints, designed agent-first from day one. • The line between human and AI. How agents, advisors, and clients work together: what the agent handles on its own, when it hands off to an advisor, and how the client always feels confident and cared for along the way. • One ecosystem, not two products. The client experience and the advisor platform as a single system, including the behind-the-scenes capabilities that make the client side feel simple. • What we launch next. As Arca expands from wealth management into tax, estate planning, insurance, and beyond, you decide what we build and bring it to market, while taking the existing platform a level higher. • Vision, roadmap, and how we build. A product strategy with visibility well past the current quarter, and the lightweight process for how Arca ideates, prioritizes, documents, and tests. • The product team. Hiring product managers and helping build design, engineering, and the other functions that work closest to product. Example problems you’d work on These aren’t hypothetical; we’re actively working on versions of all of these. • A client experience that's agent-first, not chatbot-added. Agents already do real work behind the scenes for our advisors. What does a client see when an agent has drafted a rebalance, gathered the tax documents, and flagged a question for their advisor? The bar is that it feels calmer and more personal than anything they've used before, not more automated. • Knowing when the human steps in. An agent can answer a question about a cash balance instantly. It probably shouldn't be the one walking an anxious client through a market drop a year before retirement. Deciding where the agent acts, where it hands off to the advisor, and how the client always knows who they're dealing with is a product question as much as a technical one. • Breadth without complexity. Advisors today juggle a sprawl of single-purpose industry tools. We're replacing them with one product. As it grows to cover tax, estate, and insurance, how does it get wider without getting harder to use? • Two sides of one system. Every client interaction should make the advisor better informed, and every advisor action should make the client experience simpler. Designing the consumer product and the advisor platform as one ecosystem, including what runs behind both, is what makes the model work. The kind of person who thrives here You’re excited by ownership, ambiguity, and building things that matter. • You've built consumer products people love. Consumer or prosumer, with real instincts for trust, simplicity, funnels, and messaging, and taste that shows in the details. A B2B background counts too, if your customer looked more like a person than a large enterprise. • You're AI-pilled, and you have a point of view. You know AI-native products deeply and have a strong opinion on how agents will change what a consumer exper
