## 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.

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.

We're looking for a motivated self-starter with deep brokerage clearing experience to be a part of our back office operations team.

This role is based in our New York, NY, Chicago, IL, Lake Mary, FL, and Denver, CO office(s), with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week.

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.

## What you'll do

- Act as the main liaison between Clearing Operations and Product/Engineering teams, ensuring Clearing Ops is represented and prepared throughout the product development lifecycle.
- Develop deep understanding of Robinhood back office operations and build partnerships with the desk leads and SMEs of the various areas to ensure their operational processes are considered for potential product launches
- Establish a cohesive vision for Clearing Operations-wide initiatives that span multiple teams, keeping compliance, efficiency and operational readiness at the forefront of decision-making.

- Track progress, measure outcomes, and communicate updates to senior stakeholders
- Use data driven decision making to contribute meaningfully to enhancing operational efficiencies
- Apply deep working knowledge of clearing operations and regulatory requirements, along with fluency in Artificial Intelligence, to amplify your impact.

## What you bring

- Excellent program/project management skills with a demonstrated record of delivering results on medium to large scale initiatives.
- Experience managing multiple projects at once, involving stakeholders across business units.
- 5+ years of experience in Brokerage Operations, ideally with a Clearing Broker-Dealer
- Strong understanding of clearing operations, with relevant experience in one or more areas of settlements, stock loan, margin/options, account transfers, corporate actions, or trading.
- Self-motivated, with a bias for action while operating autonomously and driving execution
- Builds and sustains strong, trust-based relationships across a wide range of cross-functional teams with a high level of responsiveness.
- FINRA Series 7 required, Series 24 preferred
