Job Description:

Mercury is looking for an Executive Creative Director to elevate Mercury’s brand from strong to best-in-class, and to set a bar for craft, clarity, and taste across the entire industry. This is a rare opportunity to build a category defining brand, at a company that truly values brand and design. As Executive Creative Director, you’ll be responsible for Mercury’s brand and creative expression across every customer touchpoint outside of the product (and you’ll collaborate with product designers to bring the brand inside the product, too).

Job Responsibility:

  • Own the creative vision behind Mercury’s brand – elegant, technically excellent, creative, and unmistakably recognizable
  • Set strategy and vision for how we can establish Mercury as the new standard for design and craft in modern banking
  • Oversee creative and brand work across all marketing channels, including digital ads, OOH, video, editorial and blog content, website, events & experiential marketing, physical products (like our credit cards and print magazine), and more
  • Ensure a consistently high bar for craft, clarity, and creativity across all channels
  • Lead a growing team of 16+ talented creatives (brand designers, writers, and people managers)
  • as well as manage and direct external agencies and freelancers
  • Foster a team culture for delivering excellent and impactful creative work
  • Be comfortable getting hands-on when needed — reviewing work in detail and providing precise, actionable feedback to push work from good to excellent
  • Partner closely with Product Design and Product leadership to ensure brand and product feel cohesive
  • Collaborate with executive leadership to translate strategy into creative direction

Requirements:

  • 10+ years of experience in creative leadership roles, with both in-house and agency experience
  • Experience building or evolving brands at companies known for strong design and craft
  • Exceptional taste — and the ability to articulate what it will take to push work from good to great
  • Ability to understand high-level strategy and translate it into clear, tactical feedback for creative teams
  • Excellent leadership and ability to set a vision that the entire company can get excited by
  • Comfort operating at all levels – both where are we going in 10 years? And how can we make this billboard more resonant?
  • Credibility with designers, writers, and product teams alike
  • Willingness to take creative risks in service of building a distinctive, durable brand
  • Ability to manage complexity: evolving a brand while delivering against an ambitious roadmap
What we offer:
  • base salary
  • equity (stock options)
  • benefits
