Art Director - Campaigns
Share this job
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 almost 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 an Art Director to help shape how Mercury shows up visually, emotionally, and creatively across our brand campaigns, website, social, and more. 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.
In this role, you’ll:
- Lead the creative development of large-scale visual storytelling that brings Mercury to life in expressive ways.
- Ensure campaigns connect seamlessly across formats from out-of-home and experiential moments to digital placements, paid social, and performance marketing ads with coherence and craft across every touchpoint.
- Contribute and translate complex brand strategy into simple, magnetic visual stories that connect with Mercury’s audience of founders and builders.
- Concept, design, and art-direct campaigns that translate Mercury’s voice and visual system into bold, emotionally resonant, and culturally attuned experiences. You’ll work cross-functionally with brand leadership, copywriting, motion, and performance marketing to craft work that’s impossible to ignore and unmistakably Mercury.
- Design across scales from the macro impact of a citywide takeover to the micro craft of typography, layout, and color harmony.
- Collaborate with external agencies, photographers, and illustrators to bring ambitious creativity to life with quality and precision.
- Champion craft and clarity in every deliverable from the initial sketch to final production files.
- Effectively balance multiple projects, from concepting through to final execution, managing timelines with clarity and calm.
- Collaborate proactively and communicate effectively in an environment that values diverse perspectives, creativity, and innovation.
What you’ll bring:
- 7–10 years of experience in brand design, art direction, or visual communication, ideally with a mix of in-house and agency experience.
- A strong portfolio that demonstrates conceptual range, systems thinking, and refined visual execution across print and environmental formats.
- Deep understanding of typography, composition, and storytelling principles.
- A proactive problem-solving drive, ability to manage multiple deliverables, and ease in receiving or handing off projects.
- Experience leading campaigns from concept through production, including managing vendors, testing proofs, and navigating print or fabrication logistics.
- Comfort working autonomously and collaboratively in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment.
- A sharp eye for craft, but also for cultural and conceptual applications, you design for resonance, not decoration.
- Strong communication skills, able to clearly articulate concepts, ideas, and creative decisions to internal teams and external partners.
- Passion for mentoring other designers and cross-functional partners to enhance our creative execution.
The total rewards package at Mercury includes base salary, equity, and benefits.
Our salary and equity ranges are highly competitive within the SaaS and fintech industry and are updated regularly using the most reliable compensation survey data for our industry.
