In 1924, Benjamin Graham began teaching a night class at Columbia Business School. His students were Wall Street professionals who came to learn a radical idea: that investing could be rigorous, disciplined, and principled, not merely speculative. Graham insisted that the best investors weren’t the ones with the sharpest instincts, but the ones who built the most trustworthy systems. He spent the rest of his career proving it.
A century later, most investment platforms still feel like they were designed for the speculative crowd. Mercury is building something different. We believe startups and growing businesses deserve investment infrastructure that is principled, transparent, and embedded in the tools they already use to run their finances.
Our Treasury product already helps thousands of companies put their idle cash to work, and Mercury Invest brings investing to our personal banking* customers. We operate a registered investment adviser and are standing up an introducing broker-dealer to support these offerings.
We’re looking for a Head of Investments to lead this effort across both our business and personal investing products. This role will also serve in formal regulated capacities, including President of Mercury Advisory (our registered investment adviser) and CEO of our introducing broker-dealer.
This is a rare role: part investment leader, part product leader, and part regulatory executive. You’ll sit in the Product org, working at the intersection of investments, product development, brokerage operations, and compliance, ensuring that as we scale our investment platform, we do so with the rigor and care our customers trust us for.
