About the role
Chime is building a world-class member service organization, and we believe member support should be built around three guiding principles:
- Frictionless product: Use member insights to mitigate member issues with a simple, transparent product
- Self-service: Provide self-service and automated capabilities to help members solve their own problems; create community for members to support each other
- Excellent support: When members do have to contact us, provide them with excellent service.
We are looking for an Incident Manager with a strong background in member communication and response to join the Operational Excellence function within our Operations & Member Experience organization.
The Performance Effectiveness and Incident Response team is responsible for coordinating Chime’s member-facing response to incidents in a way that minimizes degradation of the member experience and protects Chime’s reputation and brand. MXIC leads efficient incident resolution, collaborating with cross-functional partners across Chime, and ensuring effective communication for our advisors to best support our members.
As an MXIC Incident Manager, you will work directly with our Technical Incident Management team and other cross-functional stakeholders to execute on end-to-end response runbooks and ensure all teams are adhering to key performance metrics (e.g. time from incident alert to member comms being published). You will need to develop deep subject matter expertise about Chime’s products, technical infrastructure, and regulatory / compliance processes in order to know when, where, and how to effectively respond during an incident or crises.
We’re looking for a candidate who has a solid understanding of the technology industry, thrives in a high growth, dynamic environment. An ideal candidate will challenge the status quo, providing new and innovative ways to improve the member experience during and after an incident. If you like rolling up your sleeves and helping build programs from scratch - we want to hear from you!
The base salary offered for this role and level of experience will begin at $103,680 and up to $144,000. 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:
- Act as the primary coordinator / decision maker for the member response strategy during an incident; e.g., making the call on when and what to post on Chime’s social media sites.
- Play an active role during critical incidents which may occur outside of normal business hours. This position will require on-call duties.
- Work closely with the Technical Incident Management team, led by Engineering, to ensure the MXIC and TechIC are working in harmony during an incident.
- Conduct cross-functional retros and executive readouts following SEV 0/1/2 incidents; documenting impact, key learnings, and areas of improvement.
- Ensure we’re meeting performance metrics / SLAs for the MXIC team; e.g., time from incident raised to MXIC acknowledgement, time to create and approve agent scripts, time to update Chime.com/status (if applicable), etc.
- Partner with cross functional stakeholders including, but not limited to, Chime’s engineering, product, compliance, legal, and lifecycle marketing teams.
- Champion and drive efforts across the team to improve effectiveness and contribute to making Operations & Member Experience a great place to work.
To thrive in this role, you have:
- A Bachelor's Degree, with 5+ years of experience in customer experience and incident response and/or crisis management.
- Excellent program management skills to manage multiple stakeholders; e.g. ability to give direction and coordinate teams during an incident.
- Sharp analytical and problem solving skills, sound business judgment, with a strong bias for action, can derive satisfaction and meaning by digging deep into the data, thinking from first principles, and delivering the best results.
- Experience using incident management tools such as PagerDuty
- Strong ability to create executive ready materials (retros, decks, recommendations) to garner support for improvements and/or investments into the incident management approach.
- Critical thinking - the ability to understand strategic business drivers across disparate businesses will be essential.
- Team player - this is a highly collaborative role that will work with a range of senior leaders across various organizations.

What We Do
Chime was created because we believe everyone can unlock financial progress, and we want to develop solutions and services to empower people to succeed. The premise upon which we started Chime is simple: basic banking services should be helpful, transparent, and easy. Our easy-to-use tools and intuitive platforms give members the ability to have more control over their money and to take action toward achieving their financial ambitions.
By designing a member-centric banking app with easy-to-understand financial tools, we’re creating a more competitive market with options for everyday Americans. We offer access to accounts with no overdraft fees, provide members the chance to receive their pay up to 2 days early* with direct deposit, help them build credit history, and build financial literacy to hit their goals—among many other things.
Since 2012, we’ve grown our team to more than 1500 Chimers across 3 offices. But more than that, we’ve expanded the products and services we offer to our members based on member feedback. And in doing so, we’ve disrupted the banking industry and changed the conversation for everyday people about money on a national level.
Chime is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services are provided by The Bancorp Bank, N.A. or Stride Bank, N.A., Members FDIC.
*Early access to direct deposit funds depends on the timing of the submission of the payment file from the payer. We generally make these funds available on the day the payment file is received, which may be up to 2 days earlier than the scheduled payment date.
Why Work With Us
Working at Chime means keeping our values in mind, putting our members first, and striving for long-term growth and success. To that end, we’re building an inclusive workplace where all perspectives and experiences are welcome on our team and creating an environment where every Chimer can thrive.
