Senior Associate - Venture Ecosystem Sales

In the early days of Silicon Valley, the most powerful ideas spread not through ads or algorithms, but through conversation. It was founders sharing lessons over coffee, investors making connections at late-night dinners, communities forming around ambition and belief. These moments weren’t loud, but they were transformative.

At Mercury, we believe modern banking* should feel the same way - powerful, personal, and effortless. Our mission is to simplify finance for ambitious founders so they can spend less time managing money and more time building what matters.

We’re looking for a Senior Associate, Venture Ecosystem Sales to bring that philosophy to life: someone who can turn introductions into opportunities, events into relationships, and conversations into lasting customer relationships. You’ll be at the forefront of Mercury’s connection with the startup ecosystem, bridging founders, investors, and the tools that help them move faster.

While referrals are not the only way into an interview, working your network to get a Founder / VC introduction to one of our teammates (James Deacon, Holly Hanson, Charlie Blank, Alexander Giordano, Nick Dellis) will show us that you can already do part of the job!
