Senior Data Analyst, New Account Risk
About The Position
At Chime, the moment someone becomes a member is everything—it’s where trust begins, and where bad actors try to slip in. As an L4 Risk Analyst on the New Account Risk team, you will help protect Chime’s enrollment funnel from fraud while ensuring every legitimate applicant gets a fast, frictionless path to membership. You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, Data Science, Compliance, and Operations, digging into data to spot emerging fraud patterns and turning your findings into policies, dashboards, and recommendations the team can act on. Your work will directly support the team’s two headline goals for 2026: improving the Funnel Enrollment Rate (FER) and reducing the post-enrollment synthetic identity theft rate.
