IT Analyst at Mercury, Remote (Canada or United States)

At Mercury, we believe that good security is a journey rather than a destination which is really another way of saying that security is an ongoing process and not a one time task. Even continual processes have an outcome or product and for us that outcome is trust. When we do our jobs right we deliver trust to internal stakeholders and ultimately to the customer.

Trust that Mercury is protecting their assets and privacy and that we are a reliable platform to run their business on. Being on the Information Security (Info Sec) team at Mercury means you will be instrumental in building and maintaining that trust through secure process and system design.

Protecting our customer’s security and privacy is a top priority. We’re all about using the latest technology to do things smarter. That’s why we need an IT Support Analyst. This person will be our go‑to for making sure our employees systems are securely maintained while minimizing friction for internal teams. The ideal candidate should be ready and willing to come up with innovative solutions leveraging the newest technologies to address the unique problems they encounter.

We work with teams across the enterprise to solve security, privacy, and compliance challenges so be ready to collaborate.

In a digital world where security risks are always changing, having IT Security and Support on board is crucial. Come be the hero who helps us stay safe and maintains trust with our customers.
