We’re looking for a strategic and hands-on learning specialist to join our growing People Development team. As Senior People Development Partner (IC/Team focus), you’ll design and deliver development solutions that strengthen individual performance, enable high-performing teams, and reinforce Chime’s culture. Equal parts learning strategist and hands-on builder, this role will create programs that foster ownership, grit, trust, and collaboration across our teams. You’ll partner closely with People Partners, business leaders, and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver impactful experiences that help Chimers thrive and drive business success. This is a unique opportunity to build programs from the ground up, shaping the way Chime develops talent at both the individual and team level.

In this role, you can expect to:

Design and implement company-wide development strategies aligned to business priorities (2025 priorities: AI Fluency and Culture of Feedback).
Partner with People Partners and business leaders to co-create team effectiveness solutions tailored to team needs while driving measurable impact on company-level goals.
Deliver and iterate scalable learning solutions across the Chimer Life Cycle—from onboarding (with People Experience) through performance management, feedback, career growth, and change navigation.
Facilitate leadership enablement and train-the-trainer programs to empower leaders and People Partners to embed development in their teams.
Collaborate with DEB and People Partners to ensure learning experiences are inclusive, accessible, and delivered through blended methods (live, cohort, digital, AI tools, peer-based).
Measure and report on program effectiveness, using data and feedback to continuously refine and improve.
Manage external learning partners and platforms to scale delivery and maintain a high-quality learner experience.
Evaluate and sunset legacy programs, ensuring the portfolio reflects evolving business and Chimer needs.

To thrive in this role, you have:

Led end-to-end employee development initiatives across diverse populations, with a focus on team performance and cross-functional enablement.
Deep knowledge of adult learning principles, instructional design, and engagement strategies.
Strong facilitation skills and experience leading team-based learning and workshops.
Demonstrated ability to partner with senior leaders and influence stakeholders to drive adoption of learning solutions.
Comfort with learning platforms (e.g., Docebo) and design tools (e.g., Articulate) to scale learning in a decentralized organization.
A data-informed mindset—you use insights and analytics to design, pilot, and iterate.
A builder’s mindset—you thrive in fast-changing environments and enjoy creating programs from scratch.
At least 7 years of experience in Learning & Development, Talent Development, or related fields; experience in high-growth tech or fintech preferred.
