Senior Designer - Web

JobsCloseBy Editorial Insights

Mercury is hiring a Senior Designer to own and evolve its website, ensuring clarity, consistency, and craft across all pages while bringing the brand to life through storytelling, motion, and interaction on mercury.com. The role requires an AI-first mindset, close partnership with marketing, product, and engineering to take concepts from idea to production, and contributions to design systems and documentation that scale. The ideal candidate has 8+ years of design experience, a robust portfolio, and a clear point of view on brand, typography, layout, motion, and web interaction, plus comfort iterating with cross-functional teams. Include a deck or portfolio, demonstrate systems thinking, and if a password is required, include it in your application or on your resume.

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 a financial technology company building products that feel extraordinary to use. We help people and businesses accomplish more with their money by turning banking* from a frustration into a catalyst for their ambitions.

We’re looking for a Senior Designer to help shape how Mercury shows up visually, emotionally, and creatively across our website. Someone who thrives in a highly collaborative environment where the best ideas drive progress, not the most powerful voices in the room.
