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. 

Robinhood is seeking a Senior Manager to play a leadership role in its Accounts Payable function. This role includes end-to-end ownership of AP operations, with a mandate to advance process maturity, drive automation, and strengthen controls across a Procure-to-Pay (P2P) environment integrated with an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. The successful candidate will combine strong domain expertise with a strategic and tactical mindset, and will be responsible for developing a high-performing team.

This role is based in our  Chicago, IL, Menlo Park, CA, New York, NY office(s), 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

• Play a leadership role in end-to-end Accounts Payable operations, including daily payment processing, system implementation / upgrades, process improvement, and ongoing optimization across the P2P and ERP environment (Coupa, Oracle).
• Oversee two-way and three-way PO matching, invoice exception resolution, and vendor discrepancy investigation, ensuring accuracy and timeliness of the invoice-to-pay cycle.
• Identify and lead automation initiatives — including AI and robotics-enabled solutions — to improve efficiency and accuracy within AP workflows.
• Design and implement logical, well-structured processes with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and controls.
• Establish and maintain performance metrics and reporting frameworks to support data-driven decision-making.

• Oversee specialized payment operations, including non-USD and manual payment processing, Sales & Use Tax and VAT/GST compliance, Form 1099 issuance, and AP-related Treasury support activities.
• Manage corporate card, travel, and expense reimbursement programs in partnership with Brex, Ramp, and Navan, including policy compliance and reconciliation.
• Partner with HR/People teams on vendor and payment data managed through Workday.
• Build and maintain effective cross-functional relationships across Finance, Treasury, and business partners, exercising influence and credibility beyond direct authority.
• Lead, mentor, and develop AP team members, tailoring management approach to individual skill levels and supporting career growth.
• Uphold internal controls and approval protocols consistently, including in situations where deviation is requested by senior stakeholders, to safeguard against fraud risk.
