Senior Data Analyst, Strategy & Forecasting

About the role

You will build and be responsible for the organizational process, technical infrastructure, and statistical techniques to forecast Chime’s member funnel. Your success in this role will enable Chime to predictably grow and make investments in new product and marketing areas. This role is a mix of analytics engineering work (building a data system to generate, store, and analyze forecasts) and analytics insights work (understanding the why of changes and helping Finance implement changes based on your analysis).

The base salary offered for this role and level of experience will begin at $106,300 and up to $185,100. Full-time employees are also eligible for a bonus, competitive equity package, and benefits. The actual base salary offered may be higher, depending on your location, skills, qualifications, and experience.

In this role, you can expect to

• Implement new forecasting processes and continue to improve and refine system over time
• Scenario plan with leadership under different assumptions (i.e. how does investing in one area translate into business metric improvement)
• Keep pulse on topline metrics and unit economics. Unlike anyone else, you will be aware of changes in Chime’s key financial and business performance metrics and will be building the understanding for why.
• Be an arbiter of truth with data. You’ll use data to help the organization understand how members are interacting with Chime.
• Partner widely. You’ll work hand-in-hand with the Finance team and collaborate with stakeholders across Marketing, Product, Operations & Member Experience, and Risk. The stronger these partnerships, the more successful you and Chime will be.
• Ask why a lot. Your proactive inquisitiveness, supported by your data dexterity, means you’re leading first-of-its-kind analyses.

To thrive in this role, you have

• 4+ years in data-focused roles, performing analyses or building data tools that support an executive audience and facilitate decisions of trade-offs.
• Proficiency in financial metrics and how operators and investors evaluate business performance.
• Extensive stakeholder management experience and a Northstar for how Analytics partners with business units.
• Expertise in SQL - you innately translate business questions to queries, understand the edge cases of joins, and with dexterity explore a warehouse to find data most appropriate to the problem.
• Expertise in R or python - you write reproducible code and have a tendency toward automation.
• Sound statistical inference skills, with the ability to communicate uncertainty appropriately to business partners.
• A focus on impact - you don’t stop with just recommendations but ensure to see work through to changing the business.
