Internal Audit Senior Associate

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 Internal Audit function at Robinhood provides independent, objective, and timely assurance on the effectiveness of governance, risk management, and internal controls — helping to strengthen the organization's overall control ecosystem. Our team oversees governance across the Company and its regulated entities, and facilitates the communication of risk management information between RHM leadership and the Board of Directors and its Committees. We work closely with cross-functional partners across Brokerage, Crypto, Security, and Engineering to drive meaningful improvements to the control environment. We're a collaborative, high-performing group of auditors who take their work seriously — and love what they do!

You will be a technically skilled, collaborative, and analytical professional with a strong understanding of risks, controls, and processes in a regulated Fintech setting. You'll contribute across the full audit lifecycle — from planning and execution through reporting and remediation validation — and build lasting relationships with business partners and management teams along the way.

This role is based in our Ljubljana office, 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.
