People Transformation Manager

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. 

The PeopleX Transformation & Operations team is reinventing how People services are delivered at Robinhood. We’re moving HR Operations beyond transactional processing to full ownership of the employee lifecycle, using AI and automation to deliver consumer-grade experiences for every employee and manager! We work hand-in-hand with People COEs, People Systems, and Enterprise Technology to drive efficiency. We hold our employee experience to the same high bar Robinhood sets for its customers. Our team is high-performing, fast-moving, and wired to make an impact.

As PeopleX Transformation Manager, you will be the builder at the center of PeopleX’s AI agenda. You’ll coordinate the AI roadmap across People teams, lead the AI Front Door for PeopleX Operations, and design and ship the AI solutions that transform how HR Operations works. You’ll help define what AI-native HR Operations looks like at a company built on technology, with the mandate to set the strategy and the skills to build it. This role requires technical depth, sound judgment, and the drive to move from idea to production in a space where the playbook is still being written.

This role is based in our Chicago, IL, Menlo Park, CA, or New York, NY offices, 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.
