Role
Who you are
- This role is ideal for someone who’s highly analytical and model-driven, but equally strong at turning numbers into a clear narrative that leaders can act on
- 4–8 years of experience in forecasting, finance analytics, strategic finance, or a similar quantitative role (fintech/payments/consumer financial services is a plus)
- Demonstrated ability to own forecasting end-to-end and deliver decision-driving insights to senior stakeholders
- Strong modeling instincts: comfortable living in the details (assumptions, drivers, sensitivities) while keeping the business story straight
- Excellent communication: able to translate analytical output into crisp narratives, tradeoffs, and recommendations for technical and non-technical audiences
- Expert SQL skills - able to translate business questions into robust queries, understand edge cases, and explore a warehouse efficiently to find the right data
- Proficiency in Python or R - writes reproducible, well-structured code with a tendency toward automation and scalable analysis
- High accountability, strong judgment, and comfort operating in ambiguity and fast-moving environments
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Lead Data Analyst to drive forecasting for key growth and revenue drivers and deliver insights that shape business decisions
- You’ll own end-to-end forecasting workstreams such as member growth, purchase volume, deposit volume, and intramonth performance tracking - while partnering closely across Analytics, Data Science, Product, Marketing, and Investor Relations
- Own core forecasting workstreams for key business metrics (e.g., member growth, purchase volume, deposit volume), including in-year outlooks and contributions to longer-range forecasting
- Build, maintain, and improve forecasting models that are accurate, transparent, and scalable; document assumptions and create repeatable processes
- Run intramonth pacing, variance, and sensitivity analyses, identifying key drivers and surfacing risks/opportunities early
- Develop scenarios and “what-if” analyses to support planning and real-time decision-making (e.g., upside/downside cases, impact of product or marketing changes)
- Partner cross-functionally to align inputs and assumptions, reconcile differences across reporting/forecasting views, and ensure a single source of truth where possible
- Own unit economics and profitability analytics, including LTV/CAC, ROI analysis, and framework development for evaluating product and growth initiatives
- Improve dashboards and forecasting tooling (spreadsheets, Looker/Pigment or similar) to increase visibility, consistency, and speed of insight
Our take
Chime is part of the growing realm of fintech banks and providers, emphasising straightforward, cost-effective banking solutions. It cuts the expenses tied to basic bank accounts and provides users with greater autonomy in managing their finances.
In contrast to many traditional banks that levy steep fees and hefty penalties for overdrafts while offering meagre interest rates on savings, Chime addresses a crucial gap in the banking sector. Its primary focus is on catering to individuals with modest savings who seek the convenience of automated digital banking.
With a remarkable ascent in its trajectory, Chime's current valuation stands at $11.6B since its 2025 IPO. However, competition remains fierce, with other neobanks like Ally offering similar features and vying for the same customer base. That being said, Chime's IPO, rare in a financially uncertain period, proves that it has shifted from challenger to major player.
