We're building the next generation of capital-markets infrastructure, starting with a modern, digital-native transfer agent designed for today's public companies. Our platform replaces slow, manual processes with secure, automated workflows.
Backed by Index Ventures, Spark Capital, and Infinity Ventures, our team includes veterans from NYSE, Equiniti, Computershare, and AngelList.
Core Transfer Agency forms the foundation of Vinyl's platform, handling every share movement and value distribution. This domain-leader role requires substantive operational experience in transfer-agency and corporate-actions workflows. You will own transfers, issuances, cancellations, holder management, DRS, DWAC, restricted-security removal, dividends, distributions, spinoffs, escheatment, tax filings, tender offers, and warrant exercises end-to-end.
The role demands expertise in SEC 17Ad-17, Schedule TO mechanics, DEF 14A timing, DTC settlement workflows, and restricted-securities removal from lived experience. Requires 20% travel to Chicago and customer sites.
