Job Description

Overview

Join to apply for the Senior Content Designer role at Mercury .

Dolphins are incredibly smart. One of their most fascinating traits is one we dont fully understand: they can produce a clicking sound (for echolocation and problem-solving, such as finding fish) and a whistle (to communicate with their pod) simultaneously. In other words, they can solve complex individual tasks while staying deeply connected to the group. Were not hiring a dolphin, but we are looking for someone with the same knack for juggling two things at once: a content designer/writer who can write sharp, helpful, and on-brand content for our banking product and zoom out to shape the systems, guidelines, and strategies that help a whole team communicate better.

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

What youll do

• Create and socialize guidelines for style, mechanics, shared language, and system-wide voice consistency; define and evolve the architecture of reusable content components; establish principles for how we utilize channels (in-app, email, notifications, etc.) and their cadence.
• Collaborate with research and design to test and refine messaging.
• Support major initiatives by partnering with product designers and PMMs to help customers understand new developments.

What were looking for

• 5-7 years of experience in Content Design or Product Writing with experience balancing writing craft and system thinking.
• Someone who moves comfortably between detail-level execution and team-wide strategy.
• Strong communication skills: able to advocate for voice, consistency, and clarity across disciplines.
• A proactive partner who brings ideasnot just executionto the table.
