Support Manager

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

Mercury is building a complete finance stack for startups. Since we launched Mercury in 2019, our customer base has grown to over 200,000 startups and small businesses from all around the world. With growth comes the need to ensure our customer experience is top of mind even in the most challenging scenarios.

We’re working to build something like magic for a really wide range of startup businesses. A key piece of the magic we’ve built thus far has been smart, product-driven support, and we’re looking to bring on a strategic, thoughtful Manager to help us continuously augment our support experience as we scale quickly. 

You’ll focus on managing and inspiring a team of front-line leaders while working on impactful projects to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the support team (~80 people) as a whole. You’ll also be working closely with our engineering, design, business operations, and compliance teams to improve our product and general customer-facing processes. 

You’ll need to understand how our products and internal teams work in detail. Banking* has a lot of moving pieces, so this is harder than it might seem. Finding efficient, elegant solutions for problems stemming from the oft-convoluted U.S. financial system isn’t always easy, but if you’re good at your job, our users will never know it.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

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.
