Mercury

Compensation

Full Description

Mercury is building a whole stack of financial tools for startups. We work hard to create dashboards with thought and simplicity. You can check out our demo dashboard at www.demo.mercury.com. Underneath all of our products is a massive web of partners that users don’t see, which require significant product and process investment. That’s where the Financial Partnerships team comes in. The team maintains our external relationships and streamlines our collective workflows to keep customers, partners, and Mercury employees happy. As a Product Partnerships Manager for Expansion, you’ll help shape and expand Mercury’s network of strategic partnerships that fuel our business growth. These may include tax solution providers, accounting tools, embedded lending partners, and other financial technology enablers that complement Mercury’s platform and extend our reach. You’ll serve as the primary point of contact for external partners while internally championing their requests, initiatives, and constraints - balancing external expectations with internal priorities. You should be an expert communicator, capable of translating complex partner needs into actionable workstreams, and following them through to completion with clarity and alignment. You’ll join an established growth function and play a key role in scaling it further — bringing a combination of operational excellence, partner management, and strategic thinking. This is a highly cross-functional role, working closely with Product, Operations, Legal, Finance, and Compliance teams to evaluate opportunities, execute partnerships, and ensure ongoing success. Secure, reliable, thoughtful, and (perhaps) magical, is how a user should describe banking* on Mercury. Your job is to build and maintain partnerships that help make this description a reality. *Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank.

You will: Support the identification, evaluation, and launch of new partnerships that accelerate Mercury’s growth — across areas like tax, accounting, lending, and operational tooling. Manage and deepen relationships with a portfolio of smaller but strategic financial and fintech partners. Collaborate cross-functionally to align partnership strategy, execution, and ongoing management. Serve as a key point of contact for external partners, ensuring strong communication and smooth day-to-day operations. Become the internal expert on Mercury’s ecosystem of growth partnerships, helping teams understand the partner landscape and identify new opportunities. Assist in negotiating commercial and strategic terms that balance long-term success with Mercury’s business goals. Advocate for partner needs internally and ensure mutual success through proactive issue resolution and collaboration. Help develop frameworks and processes to evaluate partnership performance, scalability, and strategic impact. You should: Have 4+ years of experience in fintech, business development, partnerships, or a related field. Be passionate about discovering and nurturing partnerships that help companies scale. Bring strong relationship management, organizational, and communication skills. Be comfortable balancing multiple priorities and working in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment. Have a strategic mindset with a hands-on approach to execution. Be technically curious — able to understand how partners integrate and interact with Mercury’s products. Thrive in ambiguity and enjoy building processes and frameworks where few exist. Consistently exercise empathy, creativity, and a customer-first perspective.
