Senior Brand Designer

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 into a catalyst for their ambitions.

We believe that design should be deep, tested, and informed by data, not sacrificed for speed. This role is the first of its kind in our Brand Studio, focused on establishing a creative vision for our growth channels and building the discipline around it from scratch.

• Contribute across the full range of Brand Studio work—campaigns, web, social, and brand initiatives—while maintaining a high standard of craft and intention.
• Own the creative vision for Mercury's growth channels, defining brand excellence at the performance layer and building sustaining standards.
• Design paid ad creative across static, motion, and social formats, ensuring each placement reinforces Mercury’s brand while driving results.
• Use creative testing as a strategic tool by developing hypotheses, taking risks, and translating quantitative and qualitative insights into stronger creative direction and brand improvements.
• Partner closely with growth marketing on campaign briefs, iteration cycles, and channel strategy.
• Translate Mercury's product UI into compelling visual moments for campaign and growth contexts.
• Design for lifecycle marketing: email imagery, landing pages, and other conversion-focused touchpoints.
• Art‑direct video and collaborate with production partners when required.
• Build scalable creative systems—templates, asset libraries, and workflows—that accelerate the team without compromising craft.
• Contribute to Mercury’s brand system as it intersects with growth and performance contexts.
• Use AI tooling to scale and test growth creative, producing bespoke imagery and assets, and sharing learnings with the team.

• 5+ years of experience in brand design, art direction, or visual communication, ideally with a mix of in‑house and agency experience.
• A portfolio that demonstrates both craft and strategic thinking—work that is beautiful, purposeful, and grounded in why it works.
• Proficiency in Figma; motion and video editing experience is a strong plus.
• A genuine point of view on brand, understanding that growth creative is an expression of the brand, not a departure.
• A real appetite for creative testing and an analytical mind that reads both quantitative data and qualitative signal, takes risks, and translates findings into better creative and brand.
• Fluency with AI design tooling, using it to scale, iterate, and produce high‑quality assets, and a willingness to share what works.
• The ability to work at volume and speed without losing thread, moving from brief to shipped asset quickly and knowing when to push back.
• A pull toward the growth surface itself, treating paid, lifecycle, and growth channels as an under explored canvas to influence brand direction.
• Strong communication skills: articulate creative decisions, take feedback, and maintain a point of view under pressure.
• Experience with paid social platforms (Meta, Linked In) and familiarity with ad spec requirements is a plus.

• New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Seattle: $121,700 – $152,100
• Other U.S. locations: $109,500 – $136,900
• Canadian employees (any location): 115,000 – 143,700 CAD
