Remote
Senior Operations Manager, Partner Management
About this role
About the role This is a high-visibility opportunity to own the health, evolution, and strategic value of a member operations ecosystem at Chime's only onshore customer operations center. You will lead as one part Operator (running the operations with rigor), one part Strategist (improving the operations by challenging what exists), and one part Influencer (informing the business by turning frontline signals into company decisions).
The role carries real executive presence: you'll be the person in the room translating what's happening on the frontline into decisions senior leaders act on. This is an on-site role (location TBD - Austin, San Antonio) — you'll be embedded with the operation you own, not managing it from a distance, and you'll serve as a cultural ambassador for Chime within the partnership (BPO) and a highly effective motivator of front line staff.
You will play a hands-on role in daily partner governance, business reviews, escalation management, and operational initiatives that improve frontline execution and member outcomes. In this role, you can expect to Run the Operations Own performance governance for assigned Partner/BPO operations, including SLAs, quality, productivity, staffing adherence, operational efficiency, and member experience outcomes. Lead daily, weekly, and monthly partner performance reviews with clear metrics, action plans, owners, timelines, and expected business impact.
Drive accountability with external partners by identifying performance gaps, aligning on corrective actions, and ensuring sustained follow-through. Improve the Operations Challenge existing processes, technology, staffing models, and site/channel strategy rather than optimizing within them. Lead complex, cross-functional initiatives that improve member and service experience, from problem definition and stakeholder alignment through execution, change management, and post-launch measurement.
Identify automation and AI opportunities within the partner operation, and help redesign the operating model as routine volume shifts to AI Agents. Influence the Business Operate with a level of entrepreneurship and ownership consistent with running a business unit, not administering a contract. Translate operational performance trends into root-cause insights, risk assessments, and data-backed recommendations. Develop concise, executive-ready updates that connect frontline performance, member impact, risks, tradeoffs, and recommended next steps — with a point of view.
