Job description

About the role

Chime is looking for a bold, digitally native editorial leader to take our strong foundation and build one of the most future-forward corporate editorial functions in tech. As Director of Corporate Editorial, you’ll define how we tell Chime’s story to investors, policymakers, media, industry talent, and employees—through innovative storytelling, rapid response, and creative experimentation. This role goes beyond publishing content : it’s about shaping narratives that matter, mining stories from across the company and industry, and transforming them into campaigns that resonate at scale.

You’ll operate at the intersection of traditional media fluency and digital-first innovation, crafting compelling stories for a traditional media outlet one day and driving a snackable video reel the next. You’ll inspire a lean, high-performing team that pairs journalistic chops with AI-powered tools to accelerate output, personalize at scale, and create an editorial engine that is award-winning, next practice, and impossible to ignore.

The base salary offered for this role and level of experience will begin at $168,570.00 and up to $238,900.00. 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 :

  • Editorial Strategy & Narrative Development

Own and evolve Chime’s corporate editorial strategy, aligned with business priorities and Corporate Affairs narratives.

  • Act as both strategist and creator : shaping the vision while writing, editing, and publishing hands-on.
  • Build on the draft editorial standards and channel playbooks our team has started, and help define and finalize them to unify Chime’s voice across owned, earned, and social platforms.
  • Story Mining & Rapid Response
  • Surface and package stories from across Chime—products, people, policy, and culture.

  • Partner with the communications team on newsjacking and rapid response storytelling, helping turn corporate moments into cultural moments.
  • Experiment with new formats including short-form video, podcasts, newsletters, interactive features, and snackable social content (e.g., , blog, and other owned channels).
  • AI-Powered Editorial Innovation
  • Integrate AI tools (ChatGPT, Sora, Runway, Synthesia, ElevenLabs, etc.) into editorial workflows to speed production and scale creativity.

  • Build human-in-the-loop systems that balance creativity, governance, and speed.
  • Use analytics, influencer discovery, and sentiment tools to optimize placement and impact, and collaborate with external validators or partners to authentically amplify stories.
  • Leadership & Team Development
  • Guide and mentor a lean core team, tapping contractors, freelancers, and agencies when needed to scale impact.

  • Partner closely with Communications, Legal, Policy, Marketing, and executives to align storytelling with strategy.
  • Measurement & Impact
  • Build a self-learning editorial system with A / B testing, real-time analytics, and reputation feedback loops.

  • Define KPIs that measure reach, resonance, and reputational impact—and continuously raise the bar.
  • To thrive in this role, you have :

  • 10+ years in corporate communications, journalism, digital media, or brand storytelling.
  • Proven success leading editorial strategy in fintech, technology, or policy-influenced industries.
  • A journalist’s instinct for clarity, timing, and story—paired with a marketer’s understanding of audience and distribution.
  • Strong writing and editing ability across formats : op-eds, blog posts, speeches, scripts, and social copy.
  • Experience building and leading creative / editorial teams and managing external partners.
  • Familiarity with SEO, CMS, and analytics tools; fluent in testing, optimization, and data-driven storytelling.
  • Comfort navigating regulated industries and collaborating with executives.
