President, Bitstamp Europe

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. 

Bitstamp Europe S.A. is Robinhood’s EU-regulated crypto exchange and the company’s primary licensing hub for European operations. Under Robinhood, Bitstamp Europe is the cornerstone of the company’s ambition to become Europe’s leading regulated crypto platform - serving institutional, retail and B2B clients through spot, perpetual futures, and crypto-as-a-service offerings.

As President, Bitstamp Europe, you will serve as the general manager and senior-most leader of Bitstamp Europe S.A., with full P&L accountability for Robinhood’s European crypto business. You will be the company’s most senior face to European regulators - primarily the CSSF in Luxembourg, with whom you are expected to qualify as an Authorized Manager and to institutional partners, counterparties, and key stakeholders across the region. This is a high-visibility, externally facing leadership role requiring equal mastery of financial regulation, business strategy, and team leadership.

This role is based in our Luxembourg office, with in-person attendance expected 5 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. 

• Serve as the CSSF-recognized Authorized Manager and primary regulatory representative for Bitstamp Europe's MiCA CASP, Payment Institution and related licenses across all business lines.
• Lead supervisory engagement on examinations, license conditions, notifications, outsourcing and regulatory change. 
• Clear new products and markets for launch quickly, so regulation speeds up revenue growth.
• Own the P&L of Bitstamp Europe S.A. and be accountable for revenue growth across institutional and B2B in the EEA. Drive volume, fee yield and market share, and keep the cost base disciplined as revenue scales.
• Define and execute Bitstamp Europe’s regional go-to-market strategy in close partnership with Robinhood’s global product, engineering, compliance, and BD leadership
• Lead, grow, and develop the Luxembourg-based team - recruit senior talent, define organizational structure, and preserve Bitstamp’s culture of performance and integrity 
• Own institutional and strategic partnership relationships across Europe, including B2B crypto-as-a-service clients, bank liquidity partnerships, and key institutional accounts
• Proactively navigate the evolving European regulatory landscape - MiCA, MiFID II, DORA, and future frameworks - ensuring sustained CSSF compliance and shaping regulatory engagements

• Significant experience in regulated financial services with meaningful European presence - ideally combining fintech or crypto depth with deep working knowledge of Luxembourg or EU financial regulation
• Demonstrated experience qualifying or operating as an Approved Person or Authorized Manager under European regulatory frameworks (CSSF, FCA, DNB, BaFin, or equivalent); ability to qualify as a CSSF Authorized Manager is required
• Deep command of MiCA, MiFID II, and the CSSF’s regulatory expectations for crypto-asset service providers; working knowledge of DORA, AML/CFT frameworks, and PSD2
• P&L ownership at scale in a regulated European financial entity - you have run a business, not just managed a function
• Proven track record building and closing institutional B2B relationships and strategic partnerships in European financial markets
• Experience leading through corporate integration or significant organizational change - managing competing stakeholders while keeping a business performing
• Fluency in English required; French or Luxembourgish a plus

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.

• Challenging, high-impact work to grow your career.
• Performance-driven compensation with multipliers for outsized impact, bonus programs, equity ownership, and 401(k) matching.
• Best-in-class benefits to fuel your work, including 100% paid health insurance for employees with 90% coverage for dependents.
• Lifestyle wallet - a highly flexible benefits spending account for wellness, learning, and more.
• Employer-paid life & disability insurance, fertility benefits, and mental health benefits.
• Time off to recharge including company holidays, paid time off, sick time, parental leave, and more!
• Exceptional office experience with catered meals, events, and comfortable workspaces.
