Executive Creative Director
Mercury has quietly become one of the most design-forward companies in fintech. An executive creative director role here means leading the creative vision for a brand that's already best-in-class — rare executive-level design leadership at a company that genuinely values craft.

# Executive Creative Director
Location: San Francisco, CA, New York, NY, Portland, OR, or Remote within United States
About Mercury
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 all but 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 building a company with the ambition to become the new standard for banking*: products that are technically excellent and extraordinary to use, with a brand to match. We're looking for an Executive Creative Director to elevate Mercury's brand from strong to best-in-class, and to set a bar for craft, clarity, and taste across the entire industry. This is a rare opportunity to build a category defining brand, at a company that truly values brand and design.
As Executive Creative Director, you'll be responsible for Mercury's brand and creative expression across every customer touchpoint outside of the product (and you'll collaborate with product designers to bring the brand inside the product, too)
*Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group and Column, NA, Members FDIC.
