Mercury is building Mercury Bank, N.A., a proposed nationally chartered bank focused on serving ambitious businesses. Credit and lending are central to that mission, and as we migrate our charge card and term loan products to the Bank's own balance sheet and build the next generation of lending infrastructure, we need someone who can hold the full program together. The Sr. Technical Program Manager for Credit and Lending will own end-to-end delivery of the technology programs that power Mercury's charge card, term loan, and adjacent credit products. You will be the connective tissue between Engineering, Product, Risk, Compliance, Treasury, and Operations: setting strategy for how these programs run, surfacing tradeoffs that unblock leaders, sequencing the critical path, and ensuring that what ships is audit-ready from day one. We are looking for someone who has operated at this level before, in a regulated environment, at scale, with real accountability for outcomes.
*Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group and Column N.A., Members FDIC.

What we're looking for:
Experience
10+ years of program management or technical program management in a high-growth or regulated environment. - Direct experience in financial services, fintech, or credit infrastructure. Compliance, audit, reporting and risk management obligations are familiar territory. - Track record of operating at the department or business level, owning programs with multiple concurrent workstreams and cross-functional accountability. - Proven ability to communicate with and influence executive stakeholders, in writing and in high-stakes meetings, without a senior manager to translate. - Bonus: Familiarity with the lending tooling ecosystem such as loan origination, credit risk management and lending management systems. #### What you bring
Technical fluency. You can understand and challenge engineering decisions, identify technical risks early, and translate complexity for non-technical stakeholders. - Exceptional written and verbal communication. You write documentation that clarifies hard decisions and build frameworks teams actually adopt. - Commercial instincts. You understand the financial dynamics of a lending business well enough to evaluate tradeoffs with authority. - High emotional intelligence. You build trust quickly across engineering, product, risk, and executive stakeholders. You navigate complex interpersonal situations without losing credibility or momentum. The total rewards package at Mercury includes base salary, equity (stock options/RSUs), 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.
