At Mercury, we’re building a better way to bank* for all types of businesses. We started by imagining what the best banking platform for startups would be like. Fast forward a few short years, and we are adding more and more financial tools to support businesses as they grow. And it’s not just startups – we have customers in ecommerce, non-profit, crypto, and other industries as well. Turns out this requires a lot of strategic administrative support, so we are hiring an Executive Assistant. In this role, you will primarily support our Go To Market team (Revenue, Sales, Marketing, Growth groups). You will largely be focused on partnering deeply and supporting leadership in their day-to-day from calendaring to meeting preparation. You will also drive efficiencies always looking for ways to proactively get in front of challenges. We are looking for someone who is unafraid to try new things, embrace new ideas, and who welcomes suggestions for how we can iterate on our processes.
