Senior Recruiter - Product & Design

At Mercury, we believe building great financial products starts with hiring exceptional people. Our ability to innovate and scale depends on thoughtful, strategic recruiting - where great talent directly shapes the future of our company.

 

We’re looking for a Senior Recruiter to partner with leaders across Product and Design to bring in the talent that will drive Mercury’s next chapter of growth. Success in this role means diving deep into complex, nuanced domains, building enough context to source the right profiles, and persuasively selling candidates on Mercury’s mission.

This is a high-impact role where you’ll lead key searches and partner closely with Product and Design leaders to shape how we attract, assess, and close world-class talent. Your work will ensure Mercury has the people in place to build products our customers trust and love, today and in the years ahead.

 

*Mercury is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group, Column N.A., and Evolve Bank & Trust, Members FDIC.

 

What you’ll do

• Partner with Product and Design leaders to understand priorities, quickly ramp on new domains, and turn complexity into clear hiring strategies
• Manage the full lifecycle of high-priority searches, from kickoff through close, ensuring alignment with business goals and timelines
• Flex as needed to support critical roles across Product, Design, and occasionally other areas of the business
• Evaluate talent beyond surface-level signals to identify true craft and potential
• Build trust with candidates through a transparent, respectful, and engaging process that reflects Mercury’s values
• Analyze data, share insights, and experiment with new approaches to strengthen our hiring philosophy
• Proactively engage candidates from diverse backgrounds, building inclusive and representative teams

 

What sets you up for success

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with deep focus on Product and/or Design in high-growth tech companies (bonus points if you’ve recruited for both domains!)
• Track record of hiring senior-level talent and building strong relationships with both candidates and hiring teams
• Ability to evaluate talent beyond pedigree, assessing craft, philosophy, and long-term impact
• Strategic thinker who can move fluidly between big-picture goals and execution details
• Skilled at influencing and advising leaders, balancing speed with quality
• Excellent communicator, able to translate ambiguous business needs into clear hiring strategies
• Champion of diversity, equity, and inclusion in every stage of the process
• Naturally curious and collaborative, with a genuine interest in how great Product and Design talent shapes business outcomes
• And, ideally, a sense of humor
