Performance Marketing Specialist

Mercury is changing how startups bank*. We’re a financial technology company that helps startups spend less time banking and more time building their companies. In 2023, we grew transaction volume by 90% to $95B total and we have even larger ambitions. In April we announced expansion into personal banking, in May we announced new products to help finance teams do their daily work, and we have more coming this year.

In the late 1990s, Ethan Zuckerman, a programmer and designer for Tripod.com invented the “pop-up ad.”  Zuckerman used JavaScript to open another window on a web page, which allowed him to launch ads in separate windows.  Zuckerman has since apologized. 

30 years later, digital advertising has gotten more sophisticated, more productive, and we hope, much less annoying. In our view, beautiful advertising, crafted with care, and designed for performance can be a surprising, refreshing, and even pleasant experience for prospective customers.  

We believe in our product and we want to deliver it to the right people, at the right time, through performance digital marketing channels and everywhere else that founders, entrepreneurs, and growing companies are. Our Marketing organization aims to make Mercury the obvious choice for startups.
