## Job description

## About Us

Rho is the modern banking platform built for the AI era. Startups and growth-stage companies can open accounts in minutes, issue cards, manage expenses, pay bills, and close the books – all in one connected platform backed by real human support.

## About the Role

At Rho, we believe that who we hire - and how we take care of them once they're here - is central to what we can accomplish. As our People Partner, you'll be a trusted advisor to local people managers and a steady, familiar presence for employees across the business - the person people know to bring things to, and the person managers lean on as questions and challenges come up. This role blends local partnership with broader program ownership. Day to day, you'll be the face of the People function for managers and employees in our Nashville office. Beyond that, you'll take the lead on cross-functional and cross-geography projects - owning them end to end, from design through rollout - and collaborate with People Partners and stakeholders across our other offices to make sure our programs work well for everyone, not just one location. You'll work closely with our Lead People Business Partner and the broader People team, and you'll be the face of the People function for managers and employees in our Nashville office. Above all, you'll be able to speak to our mission as a People team and embed that into everything you touch - this role is as much about how we show up for people as it is about what gets done.

What Your Day-to-Day Might Look Like

- Building or improving a process - a tracker, a template, a workflow - that saves the team time down the line
- Leading a cross-functional project from kickoff to rollout, like a new performance review cycle, an onboarding revamp, or a comp benchmarking effort
- Owning a piece of a global People initiative, like benefits open enrollment or a policy rollout, and making sure it lands well locally
- Pulling data together for an internal or external audit, or to spot a trend worth flagging to leadership
- Presenting a process or policy change to managers and translating "why we're doing this" into something that actually resonates
- Coaching a manager through a tricky performance conversation or how to engage top talent
- Answering an employee's benefits question or walking them through an equity vesting question
- Processing new hire paperwork (I-9s, onboarding logistics) and handling offboarding details with care

## What You'll Do

- Serve as a trusted, ongoing partner to local people managers, coaching them through the people challenges that come with running a team.
- Support employees across the full arc of their time at Rho, from their first day through everything that follows.
- Partner on employee relations, bringing sound judgment and discretion to sensitive situations.
- Support audit and compliance work in partnership with both internal and external control functions.
- Own the operational and administrative work that comes with running a People function well - precision and pride in the details matter here.
- Spot gaps and build better ways of doing things - our business is always evolving, and you'll help scale our processes right along with it, including using AI to speed up repetitive work like documentation, tracking, and reporting.
- Be a visible, trusted face of the People function for managers and employees in Nashville.

## What You Bring

- 3-5+ years of experience in HR or People Ops, ideally in a fast-paced or high-growth environment.
- A natural instinct for partnership - you build trust with managers and employees quickly and keep it over time.
- The ability to speak fluently to a People team's mission and make it tangible in day-to-day work, not just on paper.
- Exceptional attention to detail and real pride in precise, accurate work.
- High ownership and follow-through: you take a challenge and run it to resolution.
- Discretion and sound judgment handling sensitive, confidential matters.
- Strong written and verbal communication across a range of audiences and situations.

Our people are our most valuable asset. Our target compensation range for this role is $95,625 - $146,250. In addition to base pay, Rho offers equity, comprehensive healthcare benefits, and paid time off.

## About Rho

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Rho is a modern financial platform that combines business banking, corporate cards, treasury, bill pay, expense management, and accounting automation into a single connected workflow for startups and scaling companies.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series C, $365M total funding per [fastaijobs.com](https://www.fastaijobs.com/companies/rho))
- **Headquarters**: New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2018
- **Founders**: Not publicly named on the website or in widely available biographical detail (the platform was built by an internal team; the "About Us" page references the founding team as having built the platform they "wish we had when we first launched the company" [rho.co/about](https://www.rho.co/about))

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Financial Services / Fintech – specifically Business Banking, Spend Management, and Corporate Cards.
- **Target customers**: B2B – founders (from two-person startups to public companies), finance teams (controllers, CFOs), and business owners at all stages of growth.
- **Mission/purpose**: Built to eliminate financial busywork, enabling companies to focus on building a world-changing business. As stated on their "About Us" page: "We built the Rho platform for them… to focus less on busywork and more on activities that actually drive the business forward." [rho.co/about](https://www.rho.co/about)

## Products & Services
- **Business Checking & Savings Accounts**: FDIC-insured accounts for managing day-to-day cash flow.
- **Rho Cards**: Corporate credit cards with strict spend limits, category restrictions, and expense rules to control spending.
- **Bill Pay**: AI-powered invoice scanning, automated approval routing, and direct payments to vendors.
- **Expense Management**: Automated reimbursements and real-time transaction organization to keep compliance in check.
- **Treasury Accounts**: Earn competitive market yields on company cash that would otherwise sit idle.
- **Accounting Integrations**: Syncing across banking, cards, and treasury so books stay clean and audit-ready.
- **Rho Mobile App**: A mobile interface for on-the-go management.

All of these are offered as a connected SaaS platform. [rho.co](https://www.rho.co/)

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed.
- **Key Metric – Total Funding**: **$365M** per [fastaijobs.com](https://www.fastaijobs.com/companies/rho) (specific breakdown from [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/rhobusiness/jobs) per Crunchbase-equivalent data: $197M total across Seed ($4.9M + $2.3M), Series A ($15M), Series B ($75M), and Debt Financing ($100M) — however, the higher "Series C" figure of $365M in total funding suggests a later round occurred or different aggregator methodology).
- **Net Discrepancy Note**: Different sources report total funding inconsistently: Crunchbase data via LinkedIn shows $197M across 4 early rounds, while a newer aggregator (fastaijobs) cites $365M. This is labeled as **conflicting reports**.
- **Annual Revenue**: **$25M** as estimated by [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/rhobusiness/jobs) (note: may be a third-party estimate, not company-verified).
- **Notable Investors**: List includes Grid Dynamics, Capital One, American Express, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft (as employer talent sources, suggesting staff migration from these firms) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/rhobusiness/jobs). Debt financing (April 2021) had a single undisclosed investor; Series B (Dec 2021) had 5 investors.
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Headcount of **236 employees** as of mid-2026, with **+30.2% YoY growth** [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/rhobusiness/jobs).
  - **32 open roles** as of mid-2026 [rho.co/careers](https://www.rho.co/careers), spanning NYC, San Francisco, Austin, Boston, Los Angeles, Belgrade (Serbia), Poland (remote), and US-wide remote.
  - Active hiring in engineering (Senior/Full Stack Software Engineers), Go-to-Market (Account Executives, Advisors, Startups Banking), Product (VP of Product, Product Managers, Design), and Marketing (Brand, Events, Consumer).

## Competitive Advantages
- **All-in-one platform**: Unlike piecemeal setups, Rho connects banking, cards, treasury, bill pay, and expense management in one workflow — reducing the need for 3–5 separate vendors.
- **Fast implementation**: "Get up and running quickly with hands-on onboarding and a dedicated team… response times under a minute" [rho.co](https://www.rho.co/).
- **Enterprise-grade without bloat**: "No monthly fees" and strict spend controls, while still offering features like AI invoice scanning and automated approvals.
- **Global presence**: Operating across 7 countries (US, Serbia, Poland, Philippines, UK, Switzerland, Canada) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/rhobusiness/jobs) enables multi-currency/regional support for scaling clients.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling with customers**: The platform is explicitly designed to support companies "from inception stage to IPO and beyond… never outgrow" the platform [rho.co/about](https://www.rho.co/about).
- **Hiring expansion**: Aggressively hiring across go-to-market, engineering, product, and marketing (50% monthly increase in job postings, 2000% quarterly increase) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/rhobusiness/jobs), signaling a major growth push.
- **Automation depth**: Focus on AI-driven features (invoice scanning, expense automation) to reduce manual finance work.
- **Treasury/Runway focus**: Emphasis on putting cash to work (treasury yields) suggests a strategic bet on serving cash-rich startups and SMBs looking to maximize runway.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture highlight**: Described as a place for "obsessive people" who want to "hone your craft, ship faster than you thought possible, and do the most ambitious work of your career" [rho.co/careers](https://www.rho.co/careers). The "About Us" page repeatedly emphasizes "creating delightful experiences" for customers and earning the right to serve them.
- **Remote/Hybrid/Office Policy**: Mixed model. Roles exist in NYC (HQ), San Francisco, Austin, Boston, Los Angeles, Belgrade, and Poland (remote). Some roles are explicitly "US - Remote" or "Poland - Remote" while others specify a city (e.g., "NYC", "San Francisco"). The company has 4 offices globally (likely NYC, SF, Belgrade, and one other) [rho.co/careers](https://www.rho.co/careers).
- **Notable perks/culture signals**:
  - 32 open roles spanning multiple functions — strong signal of growth.
  - Technical staff makes up 22% of headcount; Sales 10%; Finance 9%, suggesting an engineering-led but GTM-heavy current hiring phase.
  - Talent sources include American Express (32 hires), Capital One (7), Microsoft (7), Goldman Sachs (5) — implying a strong Fintech/Finance DNA.
  - Alumni go to Rippling, Amazon, Deloitte — suggesting a pedigree similar to high-growth Fintech.
- **Engineering culture**: With 73 technical staff (22% of total), and open roles for Senior Software Engineers (Belgrade + Poland remote), Full Stack Engineers (Poland remote), and multiple Product Designers, engineering appears to be a core focus area for growth.
