Senior Recruiter - Marketing & Creative

Scott Cook once said that “a brand is no longer what we tell the consumer it is; it is what consumers tell each other it is.” At Mercury, we understand that our brand is not just a logo or a set of colors; it is the collective experience of our customers. As we build the financial infrastructure that helps startups scale, the stories our customers tell are directly shaped by the people we hire. This is why we are looking for a Senior Business Recruiter to join us as a hiring partner for our COO organization.

In this role, you will be the architect of the teams that define Mercury’s identity and reputation in the world.
