Role
Who you are
- 2-4 years of social media experience, specifically in creating socially native content
- Don’t just work in social media, but thrive in it – you have tangible experience amassing highly engaged communities on social for brands
- Have a genuine passion for social – you’re a genuine consumer of social media and what goes on in the world, and have a deep understanding of how to integrate cultural trends without making it feel forced or out of pocket for our brand
- Strongly believe that details matter. Despite the excitement of creating big brand moments, you’re innately meticulous, and make sure that everything is thought through
- Have the skills of a natural storyteller and have a passion for crafting stories through words, pictures, and video. You have a keen visual sense, an eye for detail, and mastery of both technical and aesthetic best practices for images and video across top social platforms
- Possess a mission-driven and naturally member-obsessed mentality. You lead with empathy and never lose sight of why we do what we do, and who it’s in service for
- Have an entrepreneurial spirit, are naturally curious, are resourceful, and able to succeed with minimal guidance
- Have a deep understanding of the unique intersection between data and culture, and the ability to think strategically on how to activate within this space
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Social Media Specialist to help take our brand on social to the next level by leading our always on content strategy. You can expect to produce content across our channels, primarily TikTok and Instagram. The Social Media Specialist will work collaboratively with the rest of the Social Team, Brand, Creative, Legal, Product, Member Services (OMX) teams and more
- Success in this role means moving at the speed of culture – identifying trending content and creators, and coupling that cultural relevance with data-driven solutioning

- Creative ideate and execute upon our social media strategy
- Work cross-functionally with Creative, Partnerships, Compliance and more
- Be accountable for goals and impact (engagement and impressions)
- Drive most of our social editorial calendar
- Monitor and analyze conversations across key social media channels and collaborate with the Social Operation Specialists (OMX) to understand performance and uncover insights and content opportunities
- Stay on the pulse of culture – identifying trending content/creators, and making recommendations for how some of them can come to life across our social channels
Our take
Chime is part of the growing realm of fintech banks and providers, emphasizing straightforward, cost-effective banking solutions. It cuts the expenses tied to basic bank accounts and provides users with greater autonomy in managing their finances.
In contrast to many traditional banks that levy steep fees and hefty penalties for overdrafts while offering meager interest rates on savings, Chime addresses a crucial gap in the banking sector. Its primary focus is on catering to individuals with modest savings who seek the convenience of automated digital banking.
With a remarkable ascent in its trajectory, Chime's current valuation stands at $25.5B, a staggering $23.5B surge from its early 2019 valuation, underscoring its impressive and swift expansion. However, competition remains fierce, with other neobanks like Ally offering similar features and vying for the same customer base.
