People Partner

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 People Partner team at Robinhood is a strategic partner to the business, helping build high-performing organizations that deliver on our ambitious goals. We partner closely with business leaders across geographies to build the frameworks, programs, and partnerships that help Robinhood operate at a global level — thoughtfully and fast. Our team works hand-in-hand with COEs, HRIS, and People Operations to deliver programs that are both locally relevant and globally consistent. We are a team that moves with urgency, thinks in systems, and never loses sight of the people at the center of everything we build!

As a People Partner, you will be the first dedicated HR partner in the UK, supporting senior leaders and teams across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East and North Africa. As Robinhood continues to expand internationally, you'll play a critical role helping our leaders and People team build, evolve, and scale high-performing organizations across an increasingly complex global footprint. You'll serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders — navigating decisions spanning talent, performance, org design, workforce planning, leadership effectiveness, employee relations, and change. You'll also operate as a consultant and project leader across our People COEs, bringing together the right expertise and driving toward solutions that scale with the business. This role requires strong judgment, the ability to bring frameworks to ambiguity, and the independence to make sound calls where the playbook is still being written.

This role is based in our London, UK 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.
