Product Design Manager - Accounting

In 1954, Eero Saarinen designed a bank that challenged convention. With glass walls and an open floor plan surrounded by nature, it demonstrated how thoughtful design could transform financial services. Today at Mercury, we're carrying that vision into the digital age.

We're building the future of business banking*, and we're seeking a Design Manager to lead our Accounting product. This role combines strategic product thinking with nurturing team growth—an opportunity to shape both innovative financial products and the careers of talented designers.

You'll join our collaborative community of 40 designers who combine deep product thinking with genuine care for craft and each other's growth. Your work will directly impact how businesses manage their finances, making complex accounting workflows feel effortless.

*Mercury is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services provided by Choice Financial Group, Column N.A., and Evolve Bank & Trust, Members FDIC.

In this role, you'll:

• Own and drive the design strategy for Mercury's new accounting product, ensuring seamless integration with our existing platform
• Create cohesive experiences across multiple surfaces (accountant-specific tools, Mercury dashboard, customer onboarding)
• Lead a growing team of designers focused on accounting products, providing mentorship and establishing processes for success
• Partner closely with executive, product, and engineering leadership to define and execute on the accounting product roadmap
• Translate complex accounting workflows into intuitive user experiences that save our customers time and effort
• Build frameworks for making design decisions that balance user needs, technical constraints, and regulatory requirements
• Help grow the team by hiring designers who can elevate our accounting product experience
  
  

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has led design teams through complex product challenges, particularly in fintech, banking, or other highly regulated spaces
• Brings 5 years of design leadership experience with a track record of developing both people and products
• Finds joy in untangling complex problems, particularly in financial or accounting domains
• Can see both the forest and the trees—setting strategic direction while being hands-on when needed
• Builds strong relationships across product and engineering teams
• Has experience creating intuitive experiences within regulatory constraints
• Brings systems thinking to both product design and team development
