In 1986, Richard Hamming gave a lecture titled "You and Your Research," where he argued that the most impactful contributors aren't just skilled — they develop taste. They learn to recognize what matters, what scales, and what's worth building.

Recruiting, at its best, is a similar exercise in judgment. It's about developing a point of view on talent: recognizing patterns, seeing beyond surface signals, and consistently raising the quality bar.

At Mercury, that judgment compounds. Every PM and designer we hire shapes the products that hundreds of thousands of companies rely on — which means recruiting here is not only filling roles, but it’s also influencing what we build and how well we build it. We're expanding our recruiting team and looking for two Senior Recruiters to support our Product and Design organizations. You'll come with a stronger footing in one discipline — whether that's Product Management or Design — and genuine curiosity about both.

Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group and Column N.A., Members FDIC.

What you'll do

• Lead full-cycle recruiting across Product Management and Design roles, with deeper ownership in your area of strength
• Partner closely with Product and Design leaders to align on role scope, success profiles, and evaluation criteria — and be a consistent voice for quality throughout the process
• Develop deep domain fluency across the teams you support, so your assessment is informed and your candidate conversations are genuinely compelling
• Own search strategy end-to-end: sourcing, pipeline development, and closing
• Use data and market signals to sharpen your approach and keep searches moving with momentum
• Deliver a candidate experience that's thoughtful and transparent from first touch to final decision
• Build inclusive pipelines and drive structured, consistent evaluation processes

Who you are

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with meaningful focus on Product Management or Design hiring at high-growth technology companies
• Stronger in one discipline — PM or Design — with enough exposure to the other to ramp quickly and assess credibly
• Able to assess product thinking, design craft, and trajectory — not just pedigree
• Skilled at advising and influencing hiring managers, balancing urgency with quality without compromising either
• A clear, structured communicator who can turn ambiguous role needs into actionable hiring plans
• Organized and proactive, with a track record of running multiple searches simultaneously without losing momentum or quality
• Genuinely curious about products, systems, and what separates good work from great work
• And, ideally, a sense of humor
