Mercury is building a whole stack of financial tools for startups. We work hard to create dashboards with thought and simplicity. You can check out our demo dashboard at www.demo.mercury.com.

Underneath all of our products is a massive web of partners that users don’t see, that require significant product and process investment. That’s where the Financial Partnerships team comes in. The Financial Partnership team maintains our external relationships and streamlines our collective workflows to keep customers, partners, and Mercury employees happy. 

As a Senior Financial Partnerships Manager - Brokerage, you’ll manage our portfolio of strategic Treasury partners who enable us to provide brokerage services to our customers. Your main priority will be growing our current partnerships and ensuring all integrations and escalations are managed appropriately. You should be a creative problem solver that thinks of new ways to solve partner and product problems, and is able to drive progress and change with cross functional teams through communication and collaboration.

You’ll also be responsible for building out our network of potential partners  - this will include a mix of operations, product thinking, and relationship building. You should be an expert at networking, evaluating partners, and developing a partner strategy. You will work within a complex ecosystem of internal and external partners to quickly identify issues, define solutions, and communicate across teams. You will collaborate with product development with insights into the constraints and capabilities of our partners. You will build and foster excellent relationships with our partners as an account manager would do for their top clients. 

Secure, reliable, thoughtful, and (perhaps) magical, is how a user should describe banking* on Mercury. Your job is to build and maintain a team that ensures our partners can live up to this description.
