About the role
Who you are
- Have 8+ years of experience in consulting, investment banking, private equity, or high-growth tech (with deep exposure to strategic finance, FP&A, or bizops)
- Have been in positions where you have collaborated with Risk and/or Operational teams (or other teams with significant customer, product / growth, and regulatory dynamics to balance)
- Are deeply analytical and fluent in business modeling, financial planning, and interpreting the “so what” of the numbers
- Thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and enjoy designing new frameworks to answer complex questions
- Are curious to the core—you don’t stop at surface-level understanding and are eager to dive into how Mercury’s operations actually work
- Understand how to see the forest from the trees: You can zoom out to explain why a trend matters at the exec level, while still being in the weeds on workforce models or performance KPIs
- Bring a bias toward action and enjoy being a hands-on problem solver—this is not a whiteboard-only strategy job
What the job involves
- As the Strategic Finance Lead for Risk & Ops, you’ll be the dedicated finance partner supporting tens of millions in annual spend, advising on organizational design, workforce planning, customer segmentation strategy, and crafting a plan for supporting user and product growth efficiently and in a way that preserves Mercury high quality standards
- Be the lead finance partner to Risk and Operations leadership—driving strategic decisions and helping these orgs scale efficiently as they grow
- Analyze workforce design: How big should our teams be? How do we balance in-house vs. outsourced labor? What’s the right staffing model to deliver on our SLAs while optimizing cost?
- Evaluate customer segmentation: How do we profitably serve small business and personal banking customers in addition to larger startups while maintaining compliance and service standards?
- Connect growth to operations: Understand how risk and operations enable our customer acquisition strategy, and build plans that enable us to support growth reliably and efficiently
- Work with leadership on future-forward, ambiguous questions about how our Risk and Ops teams should evolve—partnering on big bets and operational improvements
