Senior Recruiter - Product
In 1986, Richard Hamming gave a lecture titled 'You and Your Research,' where he argued that the most impactful contributors aren't just skilled – they develop taste. They learn to recognize what matters, what scales, and what's worth building.
Recruiting, at its best, is a similar exercise in judgment. It's about developing a point of view on talent: recognizing patterns, seeing beyond surface signals, and consistently raising the quality bar.
At Mercury, that judgment compounds. Every PM we hire shapes the products that hundreds of thousands of companies rely on – which means recruiting here is not only filling roles, but it’s also influencing what we build and how well we build it. We're looking for a Senior Recruiter to drive Product Management hiring end-to-end: partnering closely with leaders, developing real fluency in what great product work looks like here, and translating that understanding into disciplined, high-quality hiring.
*Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group and Column, NA, Members FDIC.
What you’ll do
Lead full-cycle recruiting for Product Management roles, flexing to support other searches across technical and platform functions as needed
Partner closely with Product leaders to align on role scope, success profiles, and evaluation criteria - and be a consistent voice for quality throughout the process
Develop deep domain fluency across the product areas you support, so your assessment is informed and your candidate conversations are genuinely compelling
Own search strategy end-to-end: sourcing, pipeline development, and closing
Use data and market signals to sharpen your approach and keep searches moving with momentum
Deliver a candidate experience that's thoughtful and transparent from first touch to final decision
Build inclusive pipelines and drive structured, consistent evaluation processes
Who you are
4+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with meaningful focus on Product Management hiring at high-growth technology companies
Able to assess product thinking, systems orientation, and trajectory - not just pedigree
Skilled at advising and influencing hiring managers, balancing urgency with quality without compromising either
A clear, structured communicator who can turn ambiguous role needs into actionable hiring plans
Organized and proactive, with a track record of running multiple searches simultaneously without losing momentum or quality
Genuinely curious about products, systems, and what separates good work from great work
And, ideally, a sense of humor
The total rewards package at Mercury includes base salary, equity, and benefits.
Our salary and equity ranges are highly competitive within the SaaS and fintech industry and are updated regularly using the most reliable compensation survey data for our industry. New hire offers are made based on a candidate’s experience, expertise, geographic location, and internal pay equity relative to peers.
Our target new hire base salary ranges for this role are the following:
US employees in New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle, or the San Francisco Bay Area: $132,400 - $165,500
US employees outside of New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle, or the San Francisco Bay Area: $119,200 - $149,000
Canadian employees (any location): CAD 125,100 - 156,400
