Mercury is building a complete finance stack for startups. We work hard to create the easiest and safest banking* experience possible to simplify entrepreneurs’ and business owners’ financial lives. You can check out our demo dashboard at www.demo.mercury.com.

Underneath all 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 & Operations team comes in. Partner Operations works to maintain our external relationships and streamlines our collective workflows to keep customers, partners, and Mercury employees happy. 

As a Partner Operations Strategist, you will work to keep our network of banking and payment partners running like a well-oiled machine. This will include a mix of day-to-day communication, process design and execution, as well as long-term strategic relationship building. Internally, you’ll work across many of our teams, like Risk, Compliance, and Legal – owning the coordination efforts to maintain our regular partner reporting, approvals, and change management procedures You’ll be the connection between our product teams and external banking partners, advocating for the most efficient collaboration possible and removing roadblocks so our designers and engineers can build with the freedom to dream big. You’ll deliver magic to our bank partners and, in turn, our customers by making sure even the smallest details of our partnership operate efficiently, so we can continue to expand our products and services.

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

  • Support day-to-day relationship management with Mercury’s bank partners
  • Help build the knowledge base for how our partnerships work and a framework for our internal teams to support new feature development
  • Onboard and train Mercury employees on any external tools or dashboards they need to work with partners
  • Work with risk and compliance to create reporting and feedback processes that can scale 
  • Work with engineering and product to launch features and grow existing programs 
  • Get exposure to a ton of teams at Mercury – working with everyone from Audit to Product Managers
  • Help our partnerships team strategically grow Mercury’s network of financial relationships and deepen already existing programs

You should: 

  • Have 7+ years of experience in financial services or banking operations, with at least 3 years supporting bank partnerships
  • Feel confident building relationships and being the operational go-to for our bank partners
  • Have strong organizational skills and an eye for detail
  • Be highly collaborative and innately tuned in to partner expectations

  • Consistently exercise empathy
  • Stay calm and collected while working on ten things at once
  • Exercise creativity while working within difficult constraints
  • Have a strong product sense and technical inclination to liaise with internal and external teams
  • Communicate ideas clearly across teams
  • Be comfortable owning time-sensitive reporting deliverables and deadlines, and working seamlessly with internal contributors to exceed the expectations of our banking partners
  • Be motivated to leverage tools and processes to automate as much of your job as possible
