You will build and lead a high-performing team, setting the vision for how we think about cost structure and the tradeoffs between revenue growth and cost efficiency across the business.

You will serve as a trusted strategic partner to senior leaders across Product, Banking Partnerships, Data, Engineering, and Accounting going beyond forecast accuracy to shape how Chime evaluates the financial viability and economics of new product launches, features, and initiatives.

You will lead coverage of key COR areas including processing, network, and bank-related costs, bringing a deep understanding of the drivers including transaction volume, pricing dynamics, vendor relationships, and product evolution that influence our cost structure. In this capacity, you will also play an active role in vendor contract negotiations and renewals, partnering with Legal, Procurement, and business stakeholders to optimize terms and drive cost efficiency at scale.

• Own the development and continuous improvement of Cost of Revenue reporting and dashboards, ensuring senior business and finance leaders have timely, accurate visibility into vendor costs, transaction drivers, and overall COR performance
