Role
Who you are
- 10+ years of experience in marketing, with a focus in partner marketing or product marketing
- SaaS experience: You’ve worked at a B2B startup, preferably a SaaS company; experience marketing to accountants is a big plus
- Strategy and details: Be able to operate at all levels of depth; setting marketing strategy and quarterly targets, while also enjoying reviewing the user journey and drafting copy
- Results driven: You can set the right targets and are relentless at hitting them, using data and customer insights to continually refine the roadmap
- Experimentation mindset: You understand the importance of testing and scaling what works, and can prioritize tests and find ways to get them out quickly; you are excited to build something from the ground up
What the job involves
- As the Head of Marketing- Accounting, you will create the strategy for scaling our accountant partner program and launching our accounting products
- Both initiatives are zero-to-one projects, where you’ll need to experiment, iterate, and adapt quickly
- You’ll work with our stellar marketing team—from PR to growth marketing—and partner closely with product and partnerships teams. This is a great opportunity to help Mercury grow our footprint in the accounting world and generate new revenue from transformative financial products
- Set the marketing strategy for the accountant partner program (with the goal of building a scaled acquisition channel) and the accounting products; both 0 -> 1 type projects
- Dream up campaigns on accounting or for accountants, and work across marketing (PR, events, social, growth marketing) and the company (product, partnerships) to execute, iterating as you learn
- Think creatively and make a business case for further investment – community, referral programs, content… lots of room to be creative and drive impact
- Be accountable (along with partnerships and product) for Mercury growth from accountant partners and revenue from accounting products
- Be a critical voice of marketing leadership; understanding how to hit targets 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 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.
