Job Description
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 a Brand Designer who brings depth in growth and performance creative — and who believes that the best creative work doesn't just look good, it earns its place. At Mercury, we think paid creative should be tested, iterated on, and informed by data. Not at the expense of craft, but because of it. We want someone who sees testing as a creative tool: a way to take smart risks, learn fast, and make the work better. This is a first-of-its-kind focus area for the Brand Studio. It isn't about producing ads at volume; it's about establishing a creative vision for a largely untapped surface and building the discipline around it from the ground up. You'll contribute to the full range of Brand Studio work while owning how Mercury shows up in growth channels, and using those channels as a canvas for what the brand can become. We want someone who's excited to experiment, willing to try unexpected creative directions, and curious enough to follow the data somewhere new. *Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank.
