Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone who brings both sharp strategic thinking and a hands-on approach—someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, builds with care, and leads with clarity
- Bachelor's Degree
- 6+ years of proven experience in the Regulatory, Compliance or Legal field within an HR team, with demonstrated subject matter expertise through similar work
- Exceptional program and project management experience; you excel at working cross-functionally with partners org-wide and can juggle priorities with ease
- Deep knowledge of federal, state, local, and global HR laws, regulations, best practices, and data privacy requirements. Familiarity with audit and compliance frameworks (e.g., OFCCP , FMLA, ADA, GDPR).
- Additionally, I-9/E-verify compliance, pre-employment screening and adjudication, compliance postings, reporting analytics, unemployment insurance, training, and third-party vendor management (such as contingent worker, payroll, and 401K providers, etc.)

- This role also streamlines and creates ownership when policy, training, or communication enhancements or updates are needed, as well as creates a single point of contact for state and federal agencies for reporting and responses
- In this role, you’ll lead the development and execution of global compliance programs, policies, and frameworks that support high performance and safety always
- You’ll drive strategy and be the do-er —either standing up a new process or partnering across regions to ensure we’re meeting regulatory expectations and staying ahead of emerging risks
- You will research, develop, and evaluate HR policies and procedures to ensure they align with Robinhood’s strategic goals and meet legislative and regulatory requirements, while enhancing the Hoodie experience
- You’ll collaborate closely with Compliance, Legal, Privacy, Finance, including, Internal Audit and Risk and cross-functional teams to ensure alignment across our global operations
- You’ll also manage external counsel and regional experts as needed to ensure our practices are proactive, thoughtful, and globally consistent
- Lead, develop, and implement major HR compliance programs, processes, and initiatives
- Develop the framework for tracking compliance programs, and maintain internal controls and policies designed to ensure organizational compliance needs are met
- Conduct ongoing assessments and periodic audits of HR processes, practices, and policies; and develop remediation plans as necessary
- Collaborate with Robinhood Markets and Subsidiary Compliance teams to ensure programs align with the overall Robinhood compliance framework (such as governance, policy, record retention, testing/monitoring, certifications)
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.
