Role
Who you are
- We're looking for a bold, imaginative thinker–someone who can challenge outdated financial norms with innovative, visually striking solutions
- The ideal candidate can explore a wide range of creative directions and collaborate closely with other designers and leadership to shape the future of Robinhood's products
- Excellent portfolio that demonstrates a high bar for visual design combined with an understanding of complex end to end product experiences
- You bring steadfast curiosity and an ability to grasp sophisticated subject matter
- You are able to identify action items and move projects forward when facing ambiguity
- You enjoy collaborating with your design team and cross-functional partners without ego
What the job involves
- Leading design projects across the entire product lifecycle and multiple product launches
- Partnering closely with product, design and engineering teams to find elegant solutions to design challenges
- Rapidly producing multiple concepts and prototypes; knowing when to apply pixel-perfect attention to detail, and when to make low-fi sketches and prototypes
- Proactively define and clarify outcomes, build a plan of action, and deliver the results (especially when outcomes are unclear)
- Navigate the complexities and constraints of data, legal, and tech dependencies to deliver top notch user experiences without compromising user outcomes
Our take
For years, traditional brokers ruled the share trading realm, charging hefty fees that locked out everyday investors. Robinhood emerged as a disruptor, offering commission-free trading and opening the door to a new generation. Its innovative model thrives on premium features like increased buying power and extended trading hours, attracting a younger audience drawn to meme stocks like AMC and GameStop.
But Robinhood's not just about quick thrills. The company claims its mission lies in catering to "the unmet needs of the next generation," evidenced by its "Robinhood Retirement" launch, targeting gig-economy workers often excluded from financial planning. This commitment to accessibility aligns with its core values.
However, 2023 brought unexpected turbulence, as Robinhood became entangled in the FTX cryptocurrency exchange bankruptcy scandal when it emerged that the US Department of Justice seized hundreds of millions of dollars of the company's shares tied to FTX founder Bankman-Fried. Despite these challenges, Robinhood successfully bought back the missing stock, and its impact on democratizing finance remains undeniable.
