Mercury · San Francisco, CA, New York, NY, Portland, OR, or Remote within Canada or United States
Mercury is a fintech company that creates business‑lending products in partnership with FDIC‑insured banks, aiming to give growing businesses fast, fair and transparent access to capital. In this senior product manager role you will own the vision, strategy and roadmap for Mercury’s business‑lending suite, guiding the product from eligibility and discovery through application, underwriting, funding, servicing and repayment. You will work closely with risk and data‑science teams to shape underwriting experiences that balance speed with sound credit controls, collaborate with design and engineering to make the application feel effortless and trustworthy, and partner with banking partners, legal and compliance to ensure regulatory compliance. You will define key metrics such as conversion, time‑to‑funding, loss performance and repayment health, use customer insight and market data to prioritize features, and coordinate with marketing, sales and support for launches. The role calls for strong product instincts, deep empathy for business owners, and the ability to navigate ambiguity in a fast‑moving, green‑field area.
In the days after the 1906 earthquake and fire destroyed most of San Francisco, the city's banks stayed shut, their vaults too hot to open for weeks. Amadeo Giannini, who ran the small Bank of Italy, did the opposite. He set up a makeshift desk on the wharf, a plank laid across two barrels, and began lending. Most of his customers were shopkeepers, fishermen, and tradespeople who had lost everything, including any papers proving who they were. So Giannini lent on a signature and a handshake, betting on the people in front of him. Those loans helped rebuild the city block by block, and, the story goes, every one of them was paid back. That's the promise of a business loan: capital, offered fairly and fast, to people with the will and the plan to build something. More than a century later, too many growing businesses still hit a version of the closed vault: slow processes, opaque decisions, and paperwork that arrives too late to matter. At Mercury, we're building lending products that give growing businesses fast, fair, transparent access to the capital that lets them say yes when it counts. We're looking for a Senior PM to own this product end-to-end. You'll blend sharp product instincts with real empathy for business owners, partnering closely with risk, design, data science, engineering, and operations to ship a product that is both responsible and genuinely delightful to use. *Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank.
