Role
Who you are

- Experience partnering cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Data
- Exposure to or experience integrating AI/ML into product experiences
- A track record of hiring, developing, and retaining strong design talent
What the job involves
- We’re hiring a Design Manager to lead Lending at Chime — including Instant Loans and MyPay — and push the boundaries of what financial experiences can be
- You’ll own a high-impact product area, leading a team to deliver best-in-class design while partnering closely with Product and Engineering to shape strategy and outcomes
- This is a space where the details matter: clarity, trust, and usability aren’t nice-to-haves — they’re essential to helping members make real financial progress
- This role is also an opportunity to explore what’s next
- You’ll help define how AI can be thoughtfully integrated into lending experiences, making them more responsive, personalized, and intuitive without sacrificing transparency
- Along the way, you’ll raise the bar on craft, mentor and grow designers, and build systems that scale — all while delivering experiences used by millions of members every day
- Lead and grow a team of product designers working across lending experiences (Instant Loans, MyPay)
- Set a high bar for craft, ensuring polished, thoughtful, and cohesive end-to-end experiences
- Drive product strategy in partnership with cross-functional leaders, shaping roadmaps and outcomes
- Champion member-centric design grounded in research, data, and experimentation
- Identify and integrate AI-driven opportunities to improve user experience and decisioning
- Establish scalable design patterns and systems across lending surfaces
- Mentor designers and build a strong, inclusive, and high-performing team culture
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.
