We are a renewable energy and ocean technology company committed to rapidly developing and deploying technologies that will ensure a sustainable future for Earth by unlocking the vast energy potential of its oceans. Our focus is on capturing civilizational levels of ultra-low-cost renewable energy for applications including computing and affordable renewable fuels delivered to shore.
The company is a public benefit corporation headquartered in Portland, Oregon and backed by leading venture capitalists, philanthropic investors, university endowments, and private investment offices. We operate as an idea meritocracy in which the best ideas change the company’s direction on a regular basis.
Reporting directly to the EVP Strategy, you will support and contribute to the company’s work across capital formation, investor relations, communications, and commercial partnerships. The EVP covers a lot of ground — fundraising, PR, and customer and partner engagement — and you will be embedded in all of it, learning fast and producing real work from day one. This includes but is not limited to:
This is a high-agency, high-trust position on a lean team commercializing a once-in-a-generation technology. You’ll start as a hands-on contributor, doing the work yourself across a wide range of tasks -- some glamorous, some not. As the company scales, if you are excelling in your role, you will help hire another associate to whom you hand off the scheduling and personal assistance work, and step into a more senior role with real ownership of strategic relationships and initiatives. There is no upper limit on your advancement within this company.
You are organized, resourceful, and reliable under pressure. You take ownership of your work, follow through without being chased, and move quickly when the situation calls for it. You're comfortable operating across a wide range of tasks — from building a financial model to coordinating doctor’s appointments — because you understand that on a small team, range matters more than title.
You are an excellent communicator: clear and concise in writing, confident in conversation, and able to distill complex ideas into compelling narratives for investors, partners, and the press. You have strong analytical instincts — you can build a model, catch an error in someone else's, and tell a clear story with data. You're discreet and trustworthy with sensitive information, and you navigate organizational dynamics with good judgment and emotional intelligence.
You are genuinely curious and motivated to develop expertise across new domains, tools, and markets. You handle ambiguity and shifting priorities well, and you bring energy and a bias toward action to your work. You value directness and transparency, and you hold yourself to a high standard without needing to be managed closely.
If hired for this full-time role, you will receive:

Mercury is a financial technology company building banking products for ambitious businesses. We've grown from a startup banking* platform to a company that manages tens of billions in deposits — and now we're taking the next step: pursuing a de novo bank charter to become a full-fledged bank.
This is a rare and defining moment. As we transition from fintech to bank, we need to build institutional-grade accounting infrastructure from the ground up. That work starts here.
*Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group and Column N.A., Members FDIC.
The role:
Reporting directly to the Corporate Controller, the Bank Controller will own the accounting function for Mercury's banking entity. This is a foundational leadership role — you will build the policies, processes, systems, and team that enable Mercury to operate as a fully regulated insured depository institution.
You'll work at the intersection of technical accounting, regulatory compliance, and operational build-out. This isn't a role for someone who wants to maintain an existing function — it's for someone who wants to architect one and work closely with Engineering and Product.
Bank accounting infrastructure
Regulatory and call report compliance
Financial reporting and controls
Team and systems build-out
What we're looking for:
Required experience
Strongly preferred
The kind of person who will thrive here

In 1924, Benjamin Graham began teaching a night class at Columbia Business School. His students were Wall Street professionals who came to learn a radical idea: that investing could be rigorous, disciplined, and principled, not merely speculative. Graham insisted that the best investors weren’t the ones with the sharpest instincts, but the ones who built the most trustworthy systems. He spent the rest of his career proving it.
A century later, most investment platforms still feel like they were designed for the speculative crowd. Mercury is building something different. We believe startups and growing businesses deserve investment infrastructure that is principled, transparent, and embedded in the tools they already use to run their finances.
Our Treasury product already helps thousands of companies put their idle cash to work, and Mercury Invest brings investing to our personal banking* customers. We operate a registered investment adviser and are standing up an introducing broker-dealer to support these offerings.
We’re looking for a Head of Investments to lead this effort across both our business and personal investing products. This role will also serve in formal regulated capacities, including President of Mercury Advisory (our registered investment adviser) and CEO of our introducing broker-dealer.
This is a rare role: part investment leader, part product leader, and part regulatory executive. You’ll sit in the Product org, working at the intersection of investments, product development, brokerage operations, and compliance, ensuring that as we scale our investment platform, we do so with the rigor and care our customers trust us for.

"Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." – Arthur Ashe
There's a version of investment products legal work that's mostly about maintaining what already exists. Reviewing disclosures that haven't changed in years, advising on products whose architecture was set long before you arrived. This isn't that. Mercury Treasury and Mercury Invest* are in some ways still taking shape and must continually rise to the occasion to meet evolving customer needs. The regulatory frameworks are complex, the product roadmap is ambitious, and the person in this role will have a direct hand in the high quality customer experience we deliver to Mercury users.
Who we are:
Since 2019, Mercury has been on a mission to reinvent banking* for the modern age. We blend elegant design and cutting-edge technology to offer checking and savings accounts, debit cards, payment services, credit products, cash management tools, and sophisticated analytics. Everything we build reflects our belief that finance should be thoughtfully crafted, fast, transparent, and frictionless.
About the team:
Our Product & Regulatory Legal team operates like the rest of Mercury: with urgency, curiosity, and a bias toward action. We embed with product teams from early ideation through launch, working alongside engineers, designers, and compliance partners to get products right. We move fast, we take ownership, and we don't wait to be asked: If something needs figuring out, we’re up to the task.
What you'll do:
What you should have:
What will make you successful here:
Mercury is a place where legal counsel are expected to have a point of view. Not just about what the regulation requires, but about how the product can meet that bar in a way that's elegant, scalable, and good for customers. The people who thrive on this team treat ambiguity as an invitation rather than a reason to pause. They read a regulation and think about what it permits, not just what it prohibits.
You'll also spend a meaningful amount of your time on work that doesn't look like traditional legal practice: scoping cross-functional projects, pressure-testing product designs, building operational processes alongside compliance and ops partners. If you're someone who gets energy from that kind of work, and who measures their own impact by whether the product got better and not just whether the memo was airtight, you'll do well here.

Mercury is building a complete finance stack for startups. We work hard to create the easiest and safest banking* experience possible to simplify entrepreneurs' and business owners’ financial lives. You can check out our demo dashboard at www.demo.mercury.com.
Underneath all our products is a massive web of partners that users don’t see, that require significant product and process investment. That’s where the Product Partnerships & Operations team comes in. Partner Operations works to maintain our external relationships and streamlines our collective workflows to keep customers, partners, and Mercury employees happy.
As a Partner Operations Change Management Strategist, you will work to keep our network of banking and payment partners running like a well-oiled machine while enabling Mercury to launch products and features that make banking feel effortless. This will include a mix of day-to-day communication, process design and execution, as well as long-term strategic relationship building. Internally, you’ll work across many of our teams, like Product, Risk, Compliance, and Legal - owning the change management program that unblocks sustained growth and innovation. You’ll be the connection between our product teams and external banking partners, advocating for the most efficient collaboration possible and removing roadblocks so our designers and engineers can build with the freedom to dream big. You’ll deliver magic to our bank partners and, in turn, our customers by making sure even the smallest details of our partnership operate efficiently, so we can continue to expand our products and services.
Secure, reliable, thoughtful, and (perhaps) magical is how a user should describe banking* on Mercury. Your job is to build and maintain a framework that ensures our partnerships and programs can live up to this description.
