Senior Product Manager, Capital Markets

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 and 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. Private markets have been closed to everyday investors for decades. The Capital Markets team is opening them. As the Product Manager for this team you will own the products that give retail investors access to companies before they reach the public markets including: 

1. IPO Access, which distributes pre-IPO share allocations to our customers 
2. Robinhood Ventures, our family of publicly traded funds holding direct positions in the world’s best private companies 
3. New products you will define to give investors direct access to individual private companies and alternative investments.  

As a Senior Product Manager on Capital Markets, you will own these product lines end to end and help shape where all three go next. You’ll own the strategy and products that help everyday investors access IPOs, Private Companies, Alternatives and more. You'll work with our top tier engineers, designers, researchers, data scientists, and investing team to ship industry-changing products that revolutionize access to private markets. Today private markets are the largest category of assets ordinary investors cannot touch. This is a chance to change that.

This role is based in our 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.

What you'll do

• Own the strategy, roadmap, and execution for one of the Capital Markets product lines - IPO Access, Robinhood Ventures, or single-asset private offerings - and contribute to the strategy across all three
• Lead 0-1 launches, including the in-app experience for investing in a single private asset and the discovery surfaces that make private markets navigable for a first-time investor
• Translate ambiguous regulatory, operational, and partner requirements into clear, dependable customer experiences, working shoulder to shoulder with legal, compliance, and operations
• Build and manage relationships with external partners - issuers, underwriters, fund administrators, and infrastructure vendors - so that a shared product actually ships
• Set the quality bar for a product line where a confusing flow costs customers real money and real trust
• Use research, experimentation, and product analytics to decide what to build, and to prove what worked
• Communicate strategy, tradeoffs, and the reasoning behind them to senior leadership

What you bring

• 5+ years of product management experience building and shipping high-quality consumer or consumer fintech products
• A track record of shipping 0-1 products at scale, beyond prototypes and pilots
• Comfort with financial products that carry genuine complexity - you can become an expert in a new instrument, offering structure, or regulatory regime quickly.
• Experience working with legal, compliance, operations, or other regulated-product stakeholders, and the judgment to know when to push and when to redesign
• Experience working with 3rd-party partners on large-scale projects to deliver a shared product
• Strong product judgment and the ability to turn an ambiguous opportunity into a clear strategy, roadmap, and execution plan
• Ability to operate in unclear, 0-1 situations while sustaining a high quality bar under real time pressure
• Demonstrated history of using research, experimentation, and analytics to guide decision making
• Clear communication and relationship management skills, with experience influencing across highly cross-functional teams and with external partners
• Passion for Robinhood's mission to democratize finance for all, and excitement about opening an asset class that has been closed to most investors
• Experience and proficiency building through the latest AI tools such as Claude Code, Gemini, Cursor, or ChatGPT
• Nice to have - familiarity with private markets or alternatives - closed-end funds, BDCs, interval funds, SPVs, Reg D offerings, or the IPO / ECM process.

What we offer

• Challenging, high-impact work to grow your career
• Performance driven compensation with multipliers for outsized impact, bonus programs, and equity ownership
• Top tier benefits to fuel your work, including supplemental health insurance, ancillary insurance, and mental health support programs
• Lifestyle wallet - a highly flexible employer-paid benefits spending account expenses beyond traditional benefits such as wellness, childcare, learning, and more.
• Time off to recharge including company holidays, paid time off, sick time, paid volunteer time off, parental leave, and more!
• Exceptional office experience with catered meals, events, and comfortable workspaces.
• Monthly commuter stipend to help offset in-office commuting costs
