About The Position

Mercury is looking for an Events and Experiences Manager to lead our team onsite program and bring our culture to life through thoughtfully crafted in-person experiences. This role will oversee 50+ team onsites per year across the U.S., ensuring each event reflects Mercury’s thoughtful approach to design, quality, and connection. From strengthening trust and belonging to reinforcing company strategy and sparking innovation, onsites are where Mercury teams build relationships, solve difficult problems together, and experience the culture that makes working here meaningful. You will be the person shaping those touchpoints at scale. In addition to leading the onsite program, this role will play a significant part in supporting broader employee experience initiatives, including the company All Hands, virtual events, merch production and coordination, and other cultural moments focused on recognition, celebration and culture-building. You’ll join a group that creates immersive, memorable moments for our people, from team gatherings to large-scale cultural touchpoints, with the same care we put into our products. You’ll manage a small team and define the standards for how Mercury shows up for employees throughout the year. Because our team is lean, your impact will be huge—you’ll help build culture-defining experiences alongside passionate teammates who care deeply about their work.
