Mercury is building the financial and banking
* products founders actually want: one that’s fast, intuitive, and crafted to help them do more with their money. As AI changes how companies are built and run, we’re rethinking what Mercury can do for the people running them. We’re looking for a Tech Communications Lead to tell that story and to make Mercury the company founders, builders, and the broader tech world think of when it comes to AI and innovation in finance and banking.

This includes:

• Shaping and owning Mercury’s technology and innovation narrative, including how we’re building AI that helps founders and entrepreneurs run better
• Partner with our co-founder and senior product and AI leaders to bring that story to market through integrated comms: podcasts, events, content, social, press, and more

Here are some things you’ll do on the job:

• Develop and own Mercury’s technology, AI, and innovation narrative, translating complex product and engineering work into clear, compelling stories for founders/entrepreneurs, SMBs, and the broader tech community
• Partner closely with our co-founder and senior product and AI leaders to build their thought leadership platforms, including messaging, talking points, bylines, and social presence
• Build and run an integrated comms program across podcasts, speaking opportunities, events, owned content, social media, and press to grow Mercury’s reputation in AI and innovation
• Identify and secure high-impact podcast, conference, and media opportunities that put our leaders in front of customers, prospects, talent, and investors
• Lead comms for product and AI launches in partnership with product marketing, ensuring every launch ladders up to a cohesive innovation story
• Cultivate relationships with tech, AI, and startup journalists, creators, and podcast hosts
• Create and edit content such as blog posts, executive social posts, talks, and briefing docs, and coach spokespeople to deliver them with confidence
• Keep a pulse on the AI and fintech landscape, spotting trends, competitive moves, and moments where Mercury can lead the conversation
• Measure what’s working and use those insights to sharpen strategy over time
• Use AI tools to scale the team’s output and experiment with new formats, workflows, and ways of reaching our audiences
