Lead, Onboarding & Talent Acceleration

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 Talent Management team sets direction for how performance works at Robinhood. We design and operate the systems that clarify expectations, strengthen performance standards, and ensure consistency across teams as the company grows. Our work shapes how employees understand what strong performance looks like and how they build meaningful impact over time. We partner closely with leaders across Engineering, Customer Experience, and other core functions to ensure performance systems support business execution.

As the Lead, Onboarding & Talent Acceleration, you will own how new hires ramp into high performance. You will design, operate, and continuously improve global onboarding systems that help employees understand expectations, build early momentum, and contribute meaningfully as quickly as possible.

At Robinhood, we believe in the power of in-person work to accelerate progress, spark innovation, and strengthen community. Our office experience is intentional, energizing, and designed to fully support high-performing teams.
