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
*Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group and Column N.A., Members FDIC
In This Role, You’ll… Set the overall direction for our investment products across business and personal offerings (Treasury and Invest), including how we design, position, and evolve them over time, shaping how tens of billions of dollars are managed on behalf of our customers
Serve as President of Mercury Advisory (our RIA), acting as the firm’s accountable leader for investment strategy, client outcomes, and regulatory integrity. You’ll be a named executive officer and primary point of contact for regulators, responsible for the quality and consistency of the investment products and services we deliver
Serve as the CEO of our introducing broker-dealer, establishing strong governance, overseeing brokerage operations, and ensuring alignment across product, operations, compliance, and external partners
Act as the senior decision-maker on regulatory and business risk matters for our investment entities, synthesizing input from Legal, Compliance, Product, and represent those decisions to regulators when needed. You won’t delegate compliance awareness, you’ll live it.
