Role
Who you are
- You’re experienced: You have 5+ years of relevant product management experience in a growth stage technology company working directly with engineers and designers on user-facing products
- You care about people: You understand the unique challenges business owners and accountants face, and you’re passionate about building tools that make their lives easier
- You thrive in complexity: You’re skilled at taking intricate problems and distilling them into experiences that feel obvious in hindsight
- You have a technical edge: You can collaborate closely with engineers, providing clear and thoughtful requirements that lead to polished features
- You see the big picture: You’re excited about creating a cohesive product experience that feels as magical as it is practical
- You lead with empathy: You care deeply about the user experience and make decisions with their perspective in mind
What the job involves
- As a Senior Product Manager - Accounting User Experience, you’ll guide the creation of a product that brings clarity and perspective to business owners without bogging them down in the technicalities of accounting.
- You’ll help them find and work with accountants, explore their finances, and see the story of their business unfold through real-time metrics. In short, you’ll make the complicated feel simple, the stressful feel manageable, and the mundane feel helpful
- This role is about crafting an experience that’s more than just functional—it’s meaningful. And you’ll work across Mercury to ensure this experience feels like it belongs, seamlessly woven into the fabric of our banking platform
- Be the steward of clarity: Own the core experiences and roadmap that bring completed accounting data to life, helping business owners understand their numbers and work seamlessly with their accountants
- Shape a unified story: Rethink how accounting and banking interact to create a single, harmonious “money” experience that no one has built before
- Work across the ecosystem: Collaborate with design, engineering, revenue, and growth teams to ensure the product feels unified and effortless from every angle
- Empower connection: Design tools that foster collaboration between business owners and accountants, making it easy to complete books and uncover insights together
- Build for people, not processes: Focus on how accounting data is consumed and understood, leaving the heavy lifting of technical workflows like reconciliation to a separate product
- Drive adoption with care: Partner with growth teams to build a community of accountants who not only use but champion Mercury’s accounting tools
- Stay curious and grounded: Use data and feedback to inform your priorities and decisions, always keeping the user’s experience at the heart of your 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 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.
