Senior Product Manager - Banking Platform

The quintessential tenet of Mercury is enabling startups of all sizes to experience the magic of banking* with Mercury. The Banking team at Mercury is obsessively focused on evolving the banking experience for our customers through evolution of our Banking Platform.

As a product manager on this team, you will own the next step of this evolution and define the strategy and roadmap to enable seamless banking experiences across customers' accounts through the ownership of our banking platform.

This is a technical product role that requires empathy and foresight into our users' present and future needs as they pertain to banking and moving money.

You will work within a complex ecosystem of domestic and international banking networks to quickly identify issues, define solutions, and articulate their importance and impact across teams.

You will utilize your data acuity to better prioritize and justify the banking platform roadmap across user experiences and partner integrations.

You will collaborate across internal and external teams to jointly shape plans that lead to great banking experiences, working tirelessly to mask the "under the hood" complexities for our users.

Secure, reliable, thoughtful, and (perhaps) magical, is how a user should describe the banking experience on Mercury. Your job is to help the team aspire to that description.

Mercury is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services provided by Choice Financial Group and Evolve Bank & Trust, Members FDIC.
