Senior Designer - Web

Mercury•Portland, OR

About The Position

In 1954, architect Eero Saarinen designed a radically modern bank branch for Irwin Union in Columbus, Indiana. With glass walls, no private offices, and a floor plan that invited openness, it embodied a new kind of transparency in finance. The building was surrounded by trees, furnished by Herman Miller, and featured rustic brick flooring. Today, that space is a conference center, and that spirit of design-forward thinking in banking feels all but extinct. Mercury believes that level of care and craft in design has been lost in modern finance and we’re building a brand that brings it back. We're a financial technology company building products that feel extraordinary to use. We help people and businesses accomplish more with their money by turning banking from a frustration into a catalyst for their ambitions. We’re looking for a Senior Designer to help shape how Mercury shows up visually, emotionally, and creatively across our website. Someone who thrives in a highly collaborative environment where the best ideas drive progress, not the most powerful voices in the room. Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group and Column N.A., Members FDIC.
