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 Brokerage Operations team’s mission is to deliver radical customer support with a “safety always” mindset as we democratize finance for all. We’re in a constant state of evolution — partnering across Robinhood to drive operational excellence through data, technology, and risk management! You’ll join a team committed to continuous improvement and meaningful collaboration.

As a Brokerage Operations Intern, you’ll gain hands-on experience across multiple operational domains—supporting processes that power Robinhood’s trading, clearing, and customer experience. You’ll learn how data, technology, and risk management intersect in brokerage operations and work on projects that use analytics, process improvement, and light automation to improve performance, accuracy, and customer trust.
