Vice President, People

At Angel City, we are building a world-class organization that uses sport to drive equity. Our vision is to create engaging and unique experiences that bring the purpose-driven mission of this Club to the world.

We are stronger together, have more impact together, and have more fun together! Angel City Football Club is seeking a Vice President of People to lead the next chapter of our People function as we continue to grow and evolve. We’re still in an early-to-mid growth stage as a young club, building stronger systems, clearer structures, and more consistent practices across both business and soccer operations.

Our recruiting and HR operations foundations are strong, and this role will build on that momentum, strengthening, optimizing, and helping us scale thoughtfully rather than rebuilding from scratch.

Reporting to the President of Business Operations and working closely with the CEO, this role manages a small but mighty team and sits at the heart of our club’s mission to build a championship‑winning organization that sets a new standard for equity and excellence in sports.

What we need is a strategic, high‑EQ leader who can bring structure, clarity, and inspiration to every part of the employee experience, in a club that’s growing at a steady pace and shifting from early‑stage scrappiness to a more mature, consistent way of operating, building on the strong foundation already in place. From compensation and leveling to onboarding, culture, and leadership development, this leader will help us build the right foundation for where we are now and where we’re headed.

You’ll shape how our people grow, connect, and perform, on and off the field.
