About the role

Leader responsible for shaping and delivering Mercury's brand media investment strategy, overseeing paid media, agency relationships, measurement, and integration with broader marketing to differentiate Mercury in a competitive fintech landscape.

Responsibilities

  • Own Mercury's media investment strategy — build and execute the plan for a budget doubling year over year, deciding where, when, and how we invest across channels to deliver near-term results while building an approach that scales with the spend.
  • Differentiate how Mercury shows up in market — develop a media and distribution approach that stands apart from the standard playbook and lets us outmaneuver competitors who outspend us, through unconventional channels, formats, partnerships, and creative use of the media we buy.
  • Lead our agency and media partners — set the agenda, hold a high bar on their work, and source, evaluate, and onboard new partners as our needs evolve.
  • Build the measurement system — establish a rigorous framework for attribution, incrementality, and optimization that can support spend at the magnitude we aspire to, and leverage learnings to drive our investment decisions.
  • Connect media to the broader marketing ecosystem — integrate paid media with brand, performance, community, content, lifecycle, and product marketing so that media amplifies what the rest of the team creates rather than running in parallel to it.

Qualifications

  • 15+ years building and running a media investment strategy on a fast-growing budget with a proven track record delivering and measuring short-term wins while putting systems in place that last.
  • Be a market leader, not a best-practices follower — proven examples of differentiated media work.
  • Think in systems — design programs that make the broader marketing engine more effective.
  • Rigorous about measurement — fluent in attribution, incrementality testing, and media mix modeling with ability to translate analyses into clear leadership-facing narratives.
  • Track record of agency management — experience managing agencies and vendors and holding them accountable.
