About the team + role

We are building an elite team, applying frontier technologies to the world’s biggest financial problems. We’re looking for bold thinkers. Sharp problem-solvers. Builders who are wired to make an impact. Robinhood isn’t a place for complacency, it’s where ambitious people do the best work of their careers. We’re a high-performing, fast-moving team with ethics at the center of everything we do. Expectations are high, and so are the rewards. 

The Enterprise Risk Management team’s mission is to help establish a strong risk management practice across a high-growth and evolving organization. The team partners closely with business leaders and risk teams to identify, assess, monitor, and address operational, strategic, and emerging risks across the company. Team members support enterprise-wide governance efforts and contribute to strengthening the organization’s overall control environment. You’ll join a team that values thoughtful analysis, clear communication, and practical risk management approaches that support business objectives!
