You'll partner with Marketing, Revenue, and Engineering, Product, Design, and Data to build systems that make organic growth more predictable and controlled - transforming word of mouth, virality, and conversion into compounding advantages
Most importantly, you'll ship product that makes Mercury's growth feel inevitable
Lead Growth Product at Mercury, owning top-of-funnel conversion, activation, and virality as core levers for scaling the business
Manage and develop 3–5 PMs across multiple product teams, setting a high bar for strategy, execution, and craft

Deliver lovable product experiences to our customers while holistically managing product experience, adoption, and business outcomes/revenue
Partner closely with the VP of Revenue, VP of Marketing, and your Design & Engineering counterparts to define the vision and roadmap for Growth
Build and scale a high-velocity product organization - one that can move quickly on near-term goals while investing in durable, long-term platform work

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 200,000 businesses and achieved a $3.5B valuation as of 2025. As a rising unicorn in the stagnant world of startup banking, mercury is backed by substantial funding and poised for continued growth, constantly adding new features and expanding its team to further disrupt the industry.
