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.
Robinhood's Employee Relations team partners with leaders and employees to navigate the moments that matter most - workplace concerns, investigations, performance, conflict, and accommodations. Our Employee Relations Business Partners bring clarity and care to complex, sensitive situations, guiding managers through difficult conversations and ensuring every process reflects both our values and our obligations. We sit at the intersection of people advocacy and business accountability, and we do this work with rigor, empathy, and a deep commitment to fairness.
As an Employee Relations Business Partner, you will own the end-to-end employee relations and performance strategy for a dedicated client group, acting as a strategic partner to leadership on performance, conduct, and organizational health.
You'll drive how performance management shows up across your client group, shape the policies and processes that govern it company-wide, and act as the connective tissue between People Partners, Legal, and business leadership when the stakes are highest. This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who wants to own the full performance and ER strategy for a client group - not simply execute against an existing playbook.
This role is based in our Chicago, IL and Westlake, TX 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.
