- Lead the Detection & Response and Threat Intelligence organizations across North America, setting the technical vision, organizational strategy, and execution priorities for both teams
- Mature Robinhood's detection and incident response capabilities by improving detection coverage, response workflows, operational readiness, and measurable security outcomes
- Define and track operational metrics such as detection coverage, response time, investigation quality, and control effectiveness, using data to continuously improve team performance

- Drive adoption of automation, AI, and modern engineering practices to improve analyst productivity, accelerate investigations, and scale security operations
- Contribute to long-term security strategy, annual planning, budgeting, and organizational design as the Detection & Response program continues to grow
- Our ambitious roadmap requires a great culture shaped by exceptional leaders. Here’s what we expect from them:
- Drive high performance by setting clear, focused goals, giving real-time feedback, stretching top talent, and scaling impact through focus, innovation, and tech
- Hire and retain top talent by setting a high bar, hiring only those who raise it, investing in onboarding, and addressing talent issues quickly and fairly
- Create community by connecting work to purpose, removing friction while prioritizing safety, building trust and inclusion, and leading from the front with integrity

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. Since then, expectations have continued to evolve, with investors looking not just to lower costs, but for simpler tools, clearer information, and guidance that makes the market easier to understand.
Robinhood was built to meet those changing expectations, designed from the start as a mobile-first platform that makes investor more accessible and less intimidating for people at every stage of their financial journey. Through its app, users can trade stocks and other financial instruments while benefiting from a clean interface and built-in educational support, helping them move from curiosity to confidence without unnecessary complexity.
Recently, Robinhood has strenghtned its impact too, particularly in the UK. With the launch of AI-powered Digests within its Robinhood Cortex assistant that helps users understand what's driving stock movements in plain English, while upcoming options trading and expanded educational resources add flexibility and depth. Together, these steps position Robinhood as a platform evolving alongside its users, blending technology and education to stay ahead in an ever-changing investment landscape.
