Role

Who you are

We’re looking for a seasoned product manager with a generalist mindset, deep payments experience, and a strong sense of craft
You care about how things work and how they feel to use
7+ years of product management experience in fintech or payments
Strong understanding of domestic and international payment systems, including ACH, RTP, domestic and international wires
Proven ability to ship high-quality payment products grounded in customer needs
A strategic thinker who’s comfortable working across both infrastructure and experience layers, and who enjoys rolling up their sleeves to get things done
Excellent communicator and collaborator, able to work across functions and levels of seniority
A strong eye for detail and a natural drive to create experiences that feel polished, trustworthy, and clear

What the job involves

We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to create fast, intuitive, and reliable payment experiences that businesses trust to move their money every day
This is a senior individual contributor role with full-stack ownership, driving user-facing flows while bringing a strong understanding of backend systems and partner integrations
You’ll own a core area within our Payments Group, partnering closely with engineering, design, operations, data, and our partnerships teams
Your work will shape products that set a high bar for modern business payments: seamless to use, resilient under the hood, and trusted by thousands of customers
Drive meaningful outcomes: Lead end-to-end execution of payments projects that improve speed, reliability, transparency, and user trust
Simplify complexity: Identify and reduce friction in customer-facing flows, clarify what’s happening behind the scenes, and build systems businesses can count on
Prioritize what matters: Use customer feedback, support insights, and product data to focus your efforts on areas that deliver measurable value
Champion excellence: Advocate for thoughtful, high-quality payment experiences, and bring alignment across stakeholders
Communicate clearly: Translate complex technical decisions and regulatory tradeoffs into product strategies that are easy to understand and act on

Our take

Frustrated by the archaic, fee-laden banking services offered to entrepreneurs, the founders of Mercury set out to create a better solution. They envisioned a platform that was dynamic, tech-driven, and free from unnecessary fees.

Mercury delivers on this vision by automating business payment processes, offering FDIC-insured accounts, and providing full API access, empowering entrepreneurs with greater control and efficiency. This approach stands in stark contrast to traditional startup banking, which often burdens young businesses with high fees and limited functionality.

By prioritizing user experience and offering a free service tier, Mercury has attracted over 100,000 businesses and achieved a $1B valuation in 2021. As a rising unicorn in the stagnant world of startup banking, mercury is poised for continued growth, constantly adding new features and expanding its team to further disrupt the industry.
