To make financial peace of mind a reality for millions of everyday people.
Role
Who you are
- 8+ years in analytics roles spanning both finance and product analytics, with a track record of building infrastructure that scales an analytics function beyond one-off requests (FinTech, payments, or card a plus)
- Direct experience partnering with a Finance or Strategic Finance organization — fluent in unit economics, contribution margin, and forecasting, not just product metrics
- Expert-level SQL and strong proficiency in Python
- Deep expertise in experimental design, A/B testing, and causal inference, plus experience applying ML techniques to business problems
- Track record as a trusted strategic partner to senior leaders (Directors/VPs), influencing roadmaps through both data and judgment, with a strong bias toward proactive problem discovery
- Exceptional data storytelling at executive altitude, with experience using Hex and Looker
- Experience building dbt/Airflow pipelines, and fluency with AI coding/analytics tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) used to build self-serve workflows for non-technical stakeholders like Finance
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Staff Data Analyst to become Chime’s dedicated analytics partner to Strategic Finance on the Spending portfolio — debit, Credit Builder, Chime Card and Single Balance, Chime Deals, Spending Insights, and Checkbooks
- Finance’s demand for spending data has outgrown an ad hoc, request-by-request model, and this role exists to fix that: building the roadmap, tooling, and semantic layer that let Finance answer its own questions, and designing the AI-assisted workflows that make that data usable at scale
- You’ll retain fluency in Spending’s products and experimentation, but Strategic Finance — not Product — is the primary partner
- This is a strategic, area-level role
- You’ll work on ambiguous problems — deciding what Finance actually needs, building durable infrastructure instead of one-off pulls, and reframing requests when the initial ask isn’t the real question — while mentoring other analysts along the way
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.
