With customers at the heart of our decisions, Robinhood is lowering barriers and providing greater access to financial information. Together, we are building products and services that help create a financial system everyone can participate in.

As we continue to build...

We’re seeking curious thinkers looking to co-author the next chapters of our story. Joining now means helping shape our vision, structures and systems; playing a key-role as we launch into our ambitious future.

About the role

Robinhood is looking for a Senior Program Manager to join our Corporate Engineering Program Management Office. CorpEng Program Managers oversee day-to-day progress on large-scale IT projects, advancing roadmaps, owning planning, budgeting, execution and communication. You’ll work closely with our CorpEng teams, managers, and cross functional partners to develop and drive delivery of quarterly and annual objectives.

In this role, you are responsible for end-to-end scoping, planning, execution, and launch IT programs to deliver efficiencies and scalability for our partners. You will also serve as the bridge between critical business functions, aligning partners, providing insight into the workstreams' progress, elevating risks, and shepherding the team through the process of deployment to production. You will partner with the Head of CorpEng PMO to provide insight on program progress and raise any red flags that could affect delivery.

Your day-to-day will involve:

  • Develop strong working relationships with business teams to understand goals and priorities across the company
  • Initiate, drive, and launch projects by aligning Business teams, Product Management, and Finance System teams on critical features
  • Manage workstream scope, resourcing, reviews, approvals, timelines, and workflow management
  • Lead team operating rhythm, including communication structures, workflow, project templates, leadership cadence for managing quality of our projects
  • Provide up-to-date transparency into current projects, resource utilization, team performance and project health across our teams
  • Identify and predict obstacles, collisions, and risk to projects across multiple teams and seek solutions to eliminate them
  • Uphold standards and best practices, ensure the processes and tools are applied

Some things we consider critical for this role:

  • 5+ years Program Management, Product Management, Project Management or relevant experience
  • Demonstrated ability to work through ambiguity to detailed solutions. You can take a vague problem, crisply frame the challenge, identify a path forward, and drive an initiative over the finish-line.
  • Proven ability to build strong relationships and influence business leaders
  • Experience in structuring and implementing initiatives at scale with design and product teams
  • Demonstrated track record successfully managing operationally complex projects with cross-functional teams
  • Passionate and enthusiastic about organizational excellence and attention to detail
  • Outstanding communication and presentation skills (written and verbal) to all levels of an organization.
  • Strong facilitation, influencing and consensus-building skills

Bonus points:

  • Experience implementing Cloud base solutions
  • Experience bridging the gap between business teams and software engineers
  • Prior experience working with a fintech company
