In 1954, Eero Saarinen designed a branch office with glass walls, no offices, and a completely open floor plan in Columbus, Indiana. It was surrounded by trees; the furniture was made by Herman Miller; the lobby flooring was thick, rustic brick. It was built with transparency and community at its core. Since then, a lot of things have happened — Saarinen's branch is now a conference center, people increasingly live on the internet, and it's hard to think of a single financial institution that still applies design thinking to their company.
Mercury is on a mission to defy those expectations. We're a financial technology company that helps startups spend less time banking* and more time building. We believe that the key to our success revolves around thoughtful design — and we hold the craft of that design to an exceptionally high standard. We're looking for a Staff Brand Designer who sets that bar: someone whose eye is so precise, and whose execution is so considered, that the work around them gets better just by virtue of their presence.
This is a role for a designer who sweats the details that most people don't notice — the type hierarchy, the negative space, the grid, the crop. Someone who has developed a genuine aesthetic philosophy over years of doing hard work at a high level, and who brings that philosophy to everything they touch. You'll own the most technically complex brand design work at Mercury, provide craft oversight across the Brand Studio, and help define what visual excellence looks like as our brand continues to evolve.
