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 art director 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 by Choice Financial Group, Column N.A., and Evolve Bank & Trust, Members FDIC.
