About the Role
We are seeking a Staff Data Analyst to serve as Chime's dedicated analytics partner to Strategic Finance, focusing on the Spending portfolio.

You will work on ambiguous problems, build durable infrastructure, and mentor other analysts.

Requirements
- 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).

- Expert-level SQL ability and strong proficiency in Python.
- Deep expertise in applied statistics, experimental design, and analysis of A/B tests, including causal inference, and demonstrated experience applying ML techniques to business use cases.
- Demonstrated experience as a trusted strategic partner to senior cross-functional leaders (Directors/VPs) — carrying weight in contested decisions and influencing roadmaps through both data and judgment.
- A strong bias toward proactive problem discovery on ambiguous problems.
- Strong business intuition and judgment, and experience applying prioritization frameworks to your work (e.g., RICE, Eisenhower matrix).
- Exceptional data storytelling and data visualization ability, with experience communicating at executive altitude. Experience with Hex and Looker.
- Experience building and maintaining data pipelines with dbt or Airflow, and contributing to shared analytical infrastructure and standards.
