About The Position

We're looking for a Product Design Lead to join Chime and help shape simple, human, and engaging experiences that make financial progress accessible to millions. You'll craft thoughtful, intuitive, and visually polished designs that help members confidently manage their money — and you'll do it in close partnership with product, engineering, research, and brand.

The ability to balance product goals and member needs, turning complex problems into clear, delightful experiences.
Experience collaborating in fast-paced, cross-functional environments, with strong communication and storytelling skills.
(For senior-level designers) Experience mentoring peers, influencing product direction, or driving initiatives end-to-end.
