- Develop a deep understanding of Mercury’s products, business model, and risk and regulatory environment to connect hiring priorities to the needs of the business.
- Partner with hiring managers to define success, distinguish essential technical and domain expertise from skills that can be learned, and design thoughtful interview processes.

- Serve as a strategic advisor to hiring leaders, using talent mapping, market insights, and recruiting data to inform hiring decisions and calibrate expectations.

- Have a track record of hiring for technical or quantitative roles in areas such as compliance analytics, data science, information security, or related functions.
- Have direct experience recruiting for compliance and risk teams within fintech or financial services, with an understanding of how domain knowledge and regulatory requirements shape these searches.
- Be comfortable learning technical concepts, discussing candidate backgrounds with specialized hiring teams, and translating complex requirements into effective sourcing and assessment strategies.
- Be willing and able to take on engineering searches when needed, including information security engineering roles. Prior experience recruiting engineers is a plus.
- Have experience partnering with senior leaders and executives, influencing hiring decisions, and serving as a trusted advisor throughout a search.
- Bring strong sourcing and networking skills, including the ability to build pipelines for specialized, emerging, or confidential hiring needs.
- Enjoy creative problem solving, navigating ambiguity, and balancing competing priorities across different functions and role types.
- Lead with empathy, kindness, and care, and enjoy building diverse, inclusive, and high-performing teams.
- Communicate clearly and precisely, with a strong sense of urgency and ownership.
