About Us
Rho is the modern banking platform built for startups. Open accounts in minutes, issue cards, manage expenses, pay bills, and close the books – all in one connected platform backed by real human support.
About the Role
At Rho, we seek to attract, develop and retain extraordinarily talented people. We believe that who we hire is central to what we can accomplish. As our Talent Associate, your job will be to uphold that exceptional standard and refine the infrastructure that enables us to hire great people.
You will build exceptional end-to-end searches, improve our Talent operating rhythm, and leverage AI as a force-multiplier. Our People function has already made significant inroads embedding AI into their workflows and we empower every member of the team to be a builder.
This role reports directly to Rho’s VP of People & Talent and is based out of either our New York or San Francisco offices, 5 days a week.
What You’ll Do
Build relationships with the best talent in the tech ecosystem and find creative ways to connect with people.
Focus on quality over quantity. We know that a lean team of A+ talent is infinitely better than a large team of B-players.
Strengthen our talent brand: Partner with marketing to run events, brainstorm
Develop rigorous hiring processes across the business and advise hiring teams on building better searches.
Treat recruiting like half art, half science: Find creative ways to position Rho before the strongest operators in the business; A/B test messaging; take a human-first approach.
Obsess over our metrics and beating them, all the time.
Go where you are needed. Everyone at Rho goes beyond their job description - whether it's hiring for a G&A role or guiding someone to their interview room, this role is no exception.
What You Bring
1 - 4 years of sales, operations, or similar experience and a BA.
A passion for experimentation and craft: you multiply your leverage with AI, try new tools, and refuse to stop until you get it right.
Experience operating in high-accountability environments (startups, fintech, financial services, or similarly rigorous orgs).
High ownership and accountability—you take responsibility for getting the job done.
Strong knowledge of the talent market—where to find excellent builders, and how to speak their language.
Operational excellence—you know how to run a disciplined search and coach hiring managers along the way.
Clear, persuasive communication and storytelling skills.
A bias toward action and sense of ownership.
Our people are our most valuable asset. Our target compensation range for this role is:
NYC or SF: $73,000 - $110,000
with variation based on relevant experience, skills, and business needs. In addition to base pay, Rho offers equity, comprehensive healthcare benefits, and paid time off.
