Senior Product Designer - Personal Banking

San Francisco, CA, New York, NY, Portland, OR, or Remote within Canada or United States

In the 1970s, Massimo Vignelli took on the daunting task of designing a wayfinding system for the New York City subway. The complexity of the subway network, with its numerous lines and stations, posed a significant challenge. Vignelli's solution was a masterpiece of simplicity and clarity, using a consistent visual language to guide passengers through the labyrinthine system. Today, individuals face a similar complexity when navigating their personal finances, with their myriad of banking products, investment options, and financial decisions.

At Mercury, we believe that the key to helping individuals achieve financial wellness lies in designing banking* tools that are as intuitive and user-friendly as Vignelli's subway signs. As a financial technology company, we help people spend less time managing their money and more time living their lives. To achieve this, we're looking to hire a senior product designer to lead design on our Personal Banking Team. As a senior designer, you'll play a lead role in defining & designing best-in-class user experiences for everyday banking needs across our entire suite of personal finance products.

*Mercury is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services provided by Choice Financial Group, Column N.A., and Evolve Bank & Trust, Members FDIC.

  • Find elegant solutions to user problems and think critically from the user perspective, utilizing frameworks like user journeys or service blueprints.
  • Create simplicity from complexity.
  • Craft designs from first principles.
  • Imbue mundane tasks and flows with a feeling of wonder.
  • Prototype multiple visual and UX concepts and then narrow them to the right solution.
  • Communicate the reasoning behind your product decisions and arrive at the most optimal solution together with your team.

You are the right fit if you:

  • Enjoy designing innovative, high-quality consumer products.
  • Have experience or interest in personal finance products.
  • Have the ability to design whole systems, not just interface elements or static pages.
  • Have experience working on consumer fintech or other financial products.
  • Enjoy the autonomy of a lean, small team within a larger organization.
  • Love shaping and scoping ambiguous problems with your product and eng partners.
  • Love being a holistic designer, executing UI/UX, visual design, and interaction design.
  • Have experience building for a variety of form factors, including mobile and web.
  • Understand when no design is the best design.

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
