About the role
Who you are
- Excel at platform thinking, understanding how to design systems that start focused but can elegantly expand to serve entire ecosystems
- Master visual craft at scale, creating design systems that maintain beauty and usability whether serving 10 customers or 10,000
- Navigate complex stakeholder dynamics, balancing the needs of founders, accountants, bookkeepers, and Mercury's business objectives
- Think strategically about competitive disruption, understanding how to identify and exploit incumbents' weaknesses through superior design
- Demonstrate expertise in multi-sided platforms, having designed products that serve both end users and the professionals who support them
- Obsess over workflow optimization, finding ways to compress hours of manual work into moments of delight
- Bridge consumer and enterprise design, creating products that are as intuitive as consumer apps but as powerful as enterprise software
- Lead through influence and vision, inspiring teams to build toward ambitious long-term goals while shipping incremental value
- Understand the accounting domain or demonstrate exceptional ability to quickly master complex professional workflows
- If you're excited about using exceptional design to disrupt a massive market, building platforms that empower entire professions, and creating tools that make financial management a source of clarity rather than stress, we'd love to hear from you
What the job involves
- As a financial technology company, our mission is to help businesses spend less time on bookkeeping and more time building
- We’re not just creating another accounting tool, we’re building a platform that will become the backbone of how thousands of accounting firms support their clients
- To bring this vision to life, we’re hiring a Staff Product Designer to lead design direction for a product that will serve as the linchpin of our accountant ecosystem and redefine the role Mercury plays in helping accountants and businesses thrive
- Define the future of bookkeeping software by creating an experience so compelling that accounting firms willingly migrate from their legacy accounting platforms
- Design for dual users with competing needs: founders who want simplicity and automation, and professional accountants who need power, flexibility, and deep integration with practice management tools
- Architect a platform strategy that seamlessly integrates timely, robust accounting capabilities into Mercury’s ecosystem — including Banking, Cards, Bill Pay, and future products
- Create visual systems that make complex financial data beautiful and accessible, setting new standards for craft in enterprise bookkeeping software
- Pioneer collaborative workflows that transform bookkeeping from a solo activity into a multiplayer experience, where founders, accountants, and bookkeepers work seamlessly together
- Design for platform extensibility, laying the foundation for an app marketplace that will eventually scale to 10,000+ integrations
- Drive strategic efforts across key phases, from earning trust with early adopters to advancing Mercury’s accountant strategy through a product designed to win over firms and their clients
- Balance immediate usability with long-term vision, shipping features that delight today's users while building toward a platform that can serve any business need
- This role represents one of Mercury's most strategic bets
- You'll be designing the product that could fundamentally change how Mercury grows—transforming us from a company that acquires customers one by one to a platform that wins entire accounting practices and their client portfolios
- Breaking into this space is no small feat — most accountants are deeply embedded in legacy software, making change difficult
- But the first modern solution to truly resonate with them has the potential to redefine financial operations for millions of businesses and create a compounding growth engine that could define Mercury’s next decade
