About the job

About the role

Chime is on a mission to help millions of everyday people achieve financial progress. The Director of Growth and Acquisition owns the full digital acquisition portfolio — paid social, paid search, affiliate, YouTube, mobile and app networks, and emerging channels — while building the capabilities that define Chime's next chapter of growth. This is a leadership role, not a channel-management role. The leader is accountable for delivering today's business while identifying and building tomorrow's growth engine, staying close to the ecosystem of platforms, agencies, and technology partners. This role sits within Chime's newly evolved Media & Acquisition organization, alongside a Director of Media leading Offline, Media Planning, and MMM.

Responsibilities

  • Own performance across Chime's full digital acquisition portfolio, delivering ambitious growth, efficiency, and CAC targets.
  • Make portfolio-level investment and prioritization calls across channels, talent, technology, and vendor partnerships.
  • Lead and develop a team of experienced channel managers as a true player-coach.
  • Build new acquisition channels, partnerships, or technology-enabled growth motions.
  • Stay plugged into the external digital ecosystem — platforms, agencies, AI/martech vendors, startups.
  • Push the organization to rebuild how it works around AI: experimentation, creative production, media buying, and measurement.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Media Planning/MMM, Growth Product Marketing, Analytics, Risk, and Finance.
  • Represent Digital Acquisition in senior leadership forums.

Qualifications

  • Experience leading a multi-channel digital acquisition or growth organization with meaningful business accountability.
  • A demonstrated record of owning growth, efficiency, and business outcomes.
  • Experience managing a significant media portfolio and making prioritization tradeoffs across channels, technology, and vendors.
  • A leadership style that blends strategic range with hands-on credibility.
  • Experience building or scaling teams and developing future leaders.
  • Comfort operating in a fast-moving, cross-functional, senior-executive-visible environment.

Compensation & benefits

Base salary: $196,000—$270,000 USD. Full-time employees may also be eligible for bonus(es), competitive equity, and benefits. Benefits include comprehensive health, financial, and wellbeing benefits; generous vacation policy and company-wide paid days off; annual wellness stipend; up to 22 weeks of paid parental leave for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents; access to family planning reimbursement; backup child, elder, and pet care; subsidized commuter benefits for eligible employees.
