Role

Who you are

10+ years of experience in growth marketing, with at least 5+ years hiring and developing people
PLG experience: You’ve worked at startups at Mercury’s scale and larger, and have seen high volume PLG / self-serve acquisition; a bonus if you also have experience with demand gen / sales-led acquisition
Breadth in all areas of growth marketing, with deep expertise in paid, SEO, and martech
Proficiency in full-stack of marketing tools: You know what tools to use and how to use them—or you can figure it out quickly. You’re excited to try new tools to unlock more capabilities in the team. We’re currently using: CustomerIO, Salesforce, Dato (CMS), Rockerbox (MTA), Segment
Experimentation mindset. You understand the importance of testing and scaling what works, and can prioritize tests and find ways to get them out quickly

What the job involves

As our Head of Growth Marketing, you will be responsible for all functions of growth marketing to acquire new customers (mainly through a PLG / self-serve motion), and monetize and retain our existing ones.
You will lead a talented team of marketers, and work hand in hand with sales and product to hit acquisition and revenue goals, bringing Mercury’s bank accounts and financial software to ambitious companies, as well as consumers (Mercury Personal launched to the public in December 2025)
Set the strategy across all areas of growth marketing (paid, demand gen, martech, lifecycle, website optimization, SEO/GEO)
Think across channels and full funnel – the work doesn’t stop when the customers join, we need to activate and monetize them (we are launching new products all the time)
Hire, manage, and develop a team of marketers and agencies (will inherit a talented team of 11)
Create a team culture of relentless execution, experimentation, and curiosity (everything from trying new ad creative to trying new technology)
Be extremely data driven and be excellent at defining, setting, and reporting on full-funnel KPIs (working with a data science team)
Develop strong relationships with sales, partnerships, and product/engineering teams to collaborate on growth strategy across the company
Be a crucial voice of marketing leadership; understanding how to hit growth goals while staying true to the brand and putting the customer first
Make strong, principled decisions and influence a cross-functional group to execute

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.
