Performance Marketing Manager

The origins of modern performance marketing can be traced back to the 15th century when new printing technologies allowed merchants to advertise their goods and services via posters and pamphlets. Though the world of marketing has changed immeasurably since then the core tenant is the same–get the right message in front of the right people. We’re looking for the right person to join our Performance Marketing team and do exactly that.

Mercury is revolutionizing banking* for the modern age, building the finance stack that empowers startups and companies of all sizes to thrive. We have significant momentum, and are investing behind that to reach new audiences, test new channels, and acquire new customers. These ambitions are exactly why we are looking to strengthen our team by adding a Performance Marketing Manager.

This role will support the team by launching, optimizing, and reporting on the digital marketing campaigns that help Mercury achieve our aggressive growth goals. Our ideal candidate is thoughtful, strategic, detailed-oriented, and excited to drive interesting work in support of a growing marketing organization. You should be comfortable managing execution at the tactical level and ready to ask bold questions and embrace ambiguity as we build our program. It helps to be a little bit weird (did you read the first paragraph of this job description?).
