Job Description
About Mercury
In 1954, architect Eero Saarinen designed a radically modern bank branch for Irwin Union in Columbus, Indiana, embodying a new kind of transparency in finance with glass walls and an open floor plan. While that spirit of design-forward thinking in banking feels all but extinct today, Mercury is bringing that level of care and craft back to modern finance.
Mercury is 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 - Web to help shape how Mercury shows up visually, emotionally, and creatively across our website. We seek someone who thrives in a highly collaborative environment where the best ideas drive progress, not the most powerful voices in the room.

In this role, you’ll:
- Own and evolve Mercury’s website, ensuring the brand shows up with clarity, consistency, and craft across all pages and features.
- Shape visual design, motion, and interaction across mercury.com to bring Mercury’s brand to life through storytelling and experience.
- Elevate brand expression through opinionated visual design and reusable web-focused asset libraries.
- Lead with an AI-first mindset in web design and production workflows.
- Partner closely with marketing, product, and engineering to take concepts from idea to polished production.
- Help define and maintain design systems, frameworks, and documentation that enable scale and consistency.
- Contribute to high-level creative and brand strategy discussions with cross-functional and executive partners.
- Give and solicit feedback to raise the bar for quality, craft, and clarity across the design team.
What you’ll bring:
- 8+ years of experience in design, art direction, or visual communication, with meaningful experience owning websites or digital brand platforms.
- A strong portfolio demonstrating conceptual range, systems thinking, and high-quality execution across web experiences.
- Deep experience designing, evolving, and maintaining marketing or content-driven websites.
- A strong point of view on brand, typography, layout, motion, and interaction for the web.
- Comfort working iteratively and incorporating feedback from cross-functional partners.
- Experience defining motion principles or lightweight animation systems for web experiences.
- Proven ability to collaborate closely with engineers and design within front-end constraints.
- Strong communication skills and experience presenting, workshopping, and advocating for creative ideas.
