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.

The Financial Operations team’s mission is to provide accurate, complete, and timely financial and operational information to our leaders, regulators, customers, and key stakeholders. We ensure efficient asset utilization, proactively mitigate risks, and ensure full compliance with regulatory bodies.

We are seeking a Financial Operations Manager to join our growing team on the ground in Singapore.

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.
