Job description

Staff Product Designer - Banking Experience

San Francisco, CA, New York, NY, Portland, OR, or Remote within Canada or United States

We at Mercury are on a mission to build a product that people love on the inside, as much as on the outside. We’re a financial technology company that helps startups spend less time banking and more time building. We believe that the key to our success revolves around thoughtful design and we’re looking to hire the first staff product designer for our Banking Experience product. As a staff designer, you’ll play a critical role in defining & designing best-in-class banking foundation products.

What you’ll do at Mercury:

• Help define and shape our core banking products and work on improving the customer experience of managing deposits.
• Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and banking operations partners to craft a long-term vision and roadmap for your product area.
• Work across product teams and with execs to make sure we’re building one system and are achieving our goals.
• Design banking experiences that scale seamlessly - from solo founders just starting out to established companies managing complex operations.
• Work across the entire design stack, including speccing projects, designing workflows, detailed interactions, and high-fidelity visuals, and ensuring quality implementation.
• Find elegant solutions to customers’ problems and think critically from the customer’s perspective.
• Imbue mundane tasks and flows with a feeling of wonder.

You are the right fit if you have:

• 10+ years of experience in the design industry.
• Worked in fintech, banking or other heavily regulated industries.
• Enjoyed leading high-complexity projects with a lot of stakeholders.
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional partners to define product strategy.
• Comfortability running different types of quantitative & qualitative research and can use it to inform product decisions.
• A strong understanding of when and how to use metrics to inform design and measure success.
• The ability to design whole systems, not just interface elements or static pages.
• Experience and interest in the entire design stack, including UI/UX, visual design, and interaction design.
• Understanding when no design is the best design.
• Kindness and humility in everyday interactions.
• Worked with fellow designers of all levels.

The total rewards package at Mercury includes base salary, equity (stock options), and benefits. Our salary and equity ranges are highly competitive within the SaaS and fintech industry and are updated regularly using the most reliable compensation survey data for our industry. New hire offers are made based on a candidate’s experience, expertise, geographic location, and internal pay equity relative to peers.

Our target new hire base salary ranges for this role are the following:

• US employees (any location): $212,500–$250,000 USD
• Canadian employees (any location): CAD 193,400–227,500
