Executive Recruiter

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. 

As an Executive Recruiter, you won't just fill positions—you’ll directly shape Robinhood’s trajectory by attracting, engaging, and landing the visionary leaders who build our business! You will lead high-impact executive searches across a range of functions, partnering closely with senior leaders to translate business priorities into thoughtful talent strategies.
