Head of Product - Business Banking

Mercury•Portland, OR

1d•$289,700 - $362,100

About The Position

Mercury is building a business banking product at a scale better than anything else in the market. The bank account is where a company's financial life happens - payroll clears or it doesn't; a wire lands or a deal slips; the month closes clean, or someone loses a weekend to it. Business Banking is the heart of Mercury. We're looking for a Head of Product to own it end-to-end: setting product strategy, leading a team of product managers, driving deposit and payment growth, and owning business performance. Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group and Column N.A., Members FDIC.

Requirements

10+ years' experience, ideally in banking, payments, platforms, or financial products
5+ years leading product managers: hiring, coaching, org design, and performance management
Command of how business banking works: account opening and KYB, deposits and liquidity, payment rails (ACH, wire, check, international, FedNow, RTP)
Experience launching and scaling 0-1 financial products, ideally in fintech or another high-growth environment, alongside operating a large product with real customers on it
Sound judgment in a regulated, risk-sensitive environment: balance a delightful experience with the controls a banking product requires, and know which corners are never worth cutting

Nice To Haves

A leader with great product chops, commercial instinct to grow the business, and discipline to run it safely
A high bar for craft – leading a creative, customer-centered, data-driven and experimentation-oriented approach
Enthusiasm for building AI- and agent-powered products that drive spectacular customer experiences
Exceptional cross-functional leadership across engineering, design, risk, compliance, finance, and partners

Responsibilities

Own the P&L, strategy, and product offering: accounts, user experience, payments, new rails, and agents
Build AI - and data-driven user experiences at scale better than the alternatives
Build and scale the org: recruit and lead a high-performing PM team, instill strong build discipline, develop future leaders, and set an operating cadence and culture that drives pace and quality
Deepen the core account and take new products 0-1 to scale: optimize what businesses run on, and invest in new rails, capabilities, and agents so customers can focus on building their companies
Make reliability and trust product features: own uptime, correctness, latency, and support outcomes, and be measured on them
Align the banking ecosystem: bring product, engineering, design, data, risk, compliance, legal, marketing, sales, support, and partners behind one cohesive strategy
