The Finance & Strategy Data Science team is a specialized Data Science group within Robinhood’s Finance & Strategy organization.

We partner closely with teams across Robinhood including Finance, Product, Data, Engineering, Marketing, Research, and Operations. Our work spans customer and business analytics, benchmarking, forecasting, measurement frameworks, and AI‑powered analytics, helping leaders make faster, more informed decisions and identify opportunities to improve performance across the company.

As the Data Science Manager for Finance & Strategy, you will lead and develop a high‑performing team of data scientists and analytics engineers, setting the team’s technical direction and priorities while partnering with leaders across Robinhood to turn complex business questions into actionable insights.

• Make agentic workflows the default operating model. Build durable shared infrastructure so the team can delegate analysis, pipelines, QA, and recurring reporting to agents
• Drive both sides of the analytics stack: rigorous data science (measurement, experimentation, modeling) and the analytics engineering foundation (pipelines, tooling, data models)
• Partner closely with Finance, Product, Engineering, Operations, and other cross‑functional teams to translate complex business questions into scalable, trustworthy analytics
• Represent Finance & Strategy Data Science in leadership forums and help shape how Robinhood leverages data and AI for strategic decision‑making

What you bring

• 7+ years of experience in data science, analytics, or related fields, including 2+ years of people management experience

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

• Drive high performance by setting clear, focused goals, giving real‑time feedback, stretching top talent, and scaling impact through focus, innovation, and tech.
• 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.
• Create community by connecting work to purpose, removing friction while prioritizing safety, building trust and inclusion, and leading from the front with integrity.
