Brand Designer

In 1954, architect Eero Saarinen designed a radically modern bank branch for Irwin Union in Columbus, Indiana. With glass walls, no private offices, and a floor plan that invited openness, it embodied a new kind of transparency in finance. The building was surrounded by trees, furnished by Herman Miller, and featured rustic brick flooring. Today, that space is a conference center, and that spirit of design-forward thinking in banking feels almost extinct.

Mercury believes that level of care and craft in design has been lost in modern finance and we’re building a brand that brings it back. We're a financial technology company building products that feel extraordinary to use, helping people and businesses accomplish more with their money by turning banking* from a frustration into a catalyst for their ambitions.

We’re looking for a hands-on designer to help shape how Mercury shows up visually, emotionally, and creatively across every touchpoint. Someone who thrives in a highly collaborative environment where the best ideas drive progress, not the most powerful voices in the room. 

*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.

In this role, you’ll:

• Support Mercury’s marketing and product teams by creating thoughtful, polished graphic design assets for product launches, internal events, social media, and various production initiatives.
• Collaborate closely with senior designers and cross-functional partners, quickly adapting across diverse projects and refining your work through feedback and iteration.
• Assist in producing illustrations and graphics to enhance storytelling and content projects.
• Actively participate in setting the vision for Mercury's brand by supporting the execution of creative concepts.
• Grow your skills in motion design, exploring new creative techniques to elevate Mercury’s visual storytelling and expanding your skillset.
• Balance multiple projects with adaptability, maintaining strong organizational skills and attention to detail even when context-switching.

What you’ll bring:

• 2-4 years of professional experience in graphic design, ideally within marketing, brand design, or related creative fields.
• A versatile portfolio demonstrating foundational design skills, clear visual communication, creativity across various mediums, and interest in exploring motion graphics or 3D.
• Proficiency in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), and an eagerness to grow your skills in motion design (After Effects) and 3D software (Cinema 4D, Blender).
• Curiosity, ambition, and enthusiasm for growth, with a willingness to learn, experiment, and take initiative in your creative career.
• Excellent organizational abilities with the skill to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, openness to feedback, and excitement about collaborative problem-solving.
