Summary

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 Money team’s mission is to design best-in-class financial experiences that empower users to manage and move their money with confidence. We work cross-functionally with product, engineering, content design, and research to deliver solutions that are accessible, user-focused, and scalable. The team operates like a nimble startup within Robinhood—lean, innovative, and collaborative.

As Design Manager, you will lead a small but growing team focused on our Credit Card and Banking products, including the Gold Credit Card and our suite of banking tools. You’ll serve as a player-coach, guiding IC designers while also contributing hands-on. You’ll work to elevate the visual quality, UX consistency, and user delight across all surfaces, while collaborating closely with product leaders to drive strategic outcomes!

This role is based in our Menlo Park, CA, New York, NY, or Seattle, WA office(s), with in-person attendance expected at least 4 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

1. Lead and grow a small team of IC designers, coaching them in both UX and visual excellence.
2. Contribute hands-on to design work, especially in areas with high visual impact or strategic complexity.
3. Collaborate with cross-functional partners to define and evolve product experiences for Robinhood’s Credit Card and Banking products.
4. Drive coherence and quality across all banking and credit card product experiences.

What you bring

1. Proven experience leading and mentoring design teams, including managing direct reports.
2. A strong portfolio demonstrating high visual and UX standards, especially in consumer-facing digital products.
3. Ability to push product thinking and advocate for user-centered design at all stages of the development cycle.
4. Experience operating in fast-paced environments and working with lean, cross-functional teams.
5. (Nice to have) Familiarity with fintech.

Leadership Expectations

Our ambitious roadmap requires a great culture shaped by exceptional leaders. Here’s what we expect from them:

1. Drive high performance by setting clear, focused goals, giving real-time feedback, stretching top talent, and scaling impact through focus, innovation, and tech.
2. Hire and retain top talent by setting a high bar, hiring only those who raise it, investing in onboarding, and addressing talent issues quickly and fairly.
3. Create community by connecting work to purpose, removing friction while prioritizing safety, building trust and inclusion, and leading from the front with integrity.
