Robinhood To Hire 400 In Coming Years In Expansion To Charlotte

CHARLOTTE, NC — Robinhood is expanding its stock trading app operations to Charlotte and will hire about 400 over the next five years, the investment company announced Tuesday.

The company's new Queen City location is expected to open by September and will lead to the initial hire of more than 100 employees as part of its customer experience team, the company said.

“Charlotte is known for its talented and diverse workforce, making it an easy choice as we looked to expand our operations,” Alex Mesa, Head of Customer Experience, said in a statement. “We’re confident that Charlotte’s workforce will further contribute to our mission and lower the barriers to investing for all. We’re thrilled to join the Charlotte community.”

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper lauded the announcement. "Our talented workforce is attracting innovative fintech industries to our state," Cooper said via Twitter. "It’s one of the many reasons why North Carolina’s tech hubs are growing and expanding quickly."

Charlotte will mark the eighth U.S. location for Robinhood, which is headquartered in Menlo, Calif. The company also has locations in Denver, Colo.; Lake Mary, Fla.; Westlake, Texas; Tempe, Ariz.; Seattle, Wash.; and New York City.
