Mercury builds banking* and financial software for startups and growing businesses. The leaders we hire decide how that software gets built, sold, and kept safe. We're hiring a Senior Recruiter to help find them
You'll join our small executive recruiting team, partnering with our founders and execs on Director to C-suite hiring. Most of your searches will be Director and VP roles, with a tilt toward Engineering, Product, Design, and Data. You'll also get to know strong leaders before we have a role for them, and jump into hiring sprints when the business needs it
Run full-cycle Director and VP searches, with a focus on Engineering, Product, Design, and Data leadership
Break each role down with the hiring manager (what the team needs to build or fix, and who has done it before), then turn that into a market map and target list
Talk scope, team, and tradeoffs with senior candidates, and represent Mercury's leadership when they can't be in the room
Use market data to advise hiring managers, push back when a spec won't find anyone, and catch a stalled search early
Host executive talent events and build a network of leaders for roles we expect to open in the next 12 to 24 months
Step into hiring sprints and other high-priority searches across Mercury
Give senior candidates an experience they remember, from first note to offer
