Full Job Description
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. 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.

Robinhood's Brokerage TPM team drives the execution of the most complex, high-stakes engineering programs in the company. We operate at the intersection of product, engineering, design, and operations - providing the structure, clarity, and momentum that large cross-functional programs need to move fast and ship with confidence.

As a Staff Technical Program Manager, you will own end-to-end execution for one of the highest-profile programs in Robinhood Brokerage right now - a large-scale, cross-functional initiative with real-world impact on how millions of Americans experience financial products. You'll be the connective tissue across engineering teams, product, design, and CX, driving delivery with a high degree of autonomy. You'll also partner closely with the program's operations principal - crafting the narratives and communications that keep internal and external stakeholders aligned. This isn't a role for someone who needs constant direction. This is a role for someone who sees a complex program and knows exactly how to move it forward!

This role is based in our New York City or Menlo Park office, 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
  • Own end-to-end engineering execution for a high-profile, cross-functional Brokerage program - driving delivery across multiple engineering teams with minimal oversight
  • Serve as the primary coordination layer across product, design, CX, and engineering - filling execution gaps, resolving blockers, and keeping the program moving with clarity and speed
  • Partner with the program's operations principal to craft concise, polished narratives and stakeholder communications used across internal and external audiences
  • Identify risks and dependencies early, create structure where it's missing, and hold teams accountable to timelines without slowing them down
  • Provide engineering teams with the context, clarity, and decision support they need to execute confidently and efficiently
  • Build and maintain a clear view of program health - surfacing the right information to the right stakeholders at the right time
What you bring
  • 7+ years of experience as a Technical Program Manager, with a track record of independently owning and delivering large-scale, cross-functional engineering programs
  • Strong technical depth - you understand system design, are comfortable with AWS and core infrastructure concepts, and can hold your own in engineering conversations without needing to write code
  • Exceptional written communication skills - you write clean, concise narratives and can translate complex technical work into clear stakeholder updates
  • High agency - you're a self-directed operator who takes a program and runs with it; you don't wait to be managed
  • Exceptional organizational skills - you thrive in ambiguity, create structure intuitively, and give complex multi-team programs the clarity they need to move
  • This position requires U.S. citizenship or U.S. permanent resident (green card) status
What we offer
  • Challenging, high-impact work to grow your career
  • Performance driven compensation with multipliers for outsized impact, bonus programs, equity ownership, and 401(k) matching
  • Top Tier benefits to fuel your work, including 100% paid health insurance for employees with 90% coverage for dependents
  • Access to the Robinhood Employee Fund that gives eligible US employees the opportunity to invest in a private employee fund that provides exposure to Robinhood Ventures funds.
  • Access to the best AI tools on the market and continuous AI skill-building for every employee, technical or not.
  • Lifestyle wallet - a highly flexible benefits spending account for wellness, learning, and more
  • Employer-paid life & disability insurance, fertility benefits, and mental health benefits
  • Time off to recharge including company holidays, paid time off, sick time, parental leave, and more!
  • Exceptional office experience with catered meals, events, and comfortable workspaces.
