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 is building out its firm-commitment underwriting capability to manage and co-manage IPOs and follow-on equity offerings, while continuing to operate an established distribution channel that brings new issues to Robinhood's retail customers.

You will guide deal execution from due diligence through pricing, allocation, and settlement on the underwriting side. You'll ensure all activity meets regulatory and internal standards across both sides of the deal. This role partners closely with Compliance, Finance, and Trading Operations to support successful execution while maintaining strong supervisory practices.
