Requirements
• Curious – you go out of your way to understand the work that surrounds you, not just your own. You learn how adjacent systems, teams, and processes work before you are forced to, because understanding the full picture is how you do your job well • Curious • A builder – you have stood something up from scratch before and you are drawn to that kind of work, not daunted by it • A builder • Precise – small errors in loan servicing cascade into audit findings, customer impact, and regulatory exposure. You know that, and you operate accordingly • Precise • A systems thinker – you trace a workflow from intake to general ledger and spot where it will break before it does • A systems thinker • Resourceful – you use AI tools to draft, automate, and scale your output, and you treat new tools as leverage, not overhead • Resourceful • Collaborative – you step into gaps and work with a team-first mentality, even when you own a function independently • Collaborative • Ideal candidates will have 5+ years of experience across banking, fintech, or private credit operations. An inclusive 2+ years of experience in credit operations or loan servicing is preferred. • Comfortable building in ambiguity and operating in a 0-to-1 environment • Strong written communication: the documentation you produce will be reviewed by bank regulators. It must be precise, defensible, and clear enough that an operator can follow it and an examiner can evaluate it • Experience owning core servicing workflows: booking, disbursements, payoffs, collateral management, or reconciliation • Experience translating operational requirements into system specifications or partnering with product and engineering teams on system design • Prior experience working in full-cycle credit management (origination, portfolio management, workout, etc.) is a plus • SQL and data skills are useful but not required
Responsibilities
• Own loan booking, quality control, disbursements, payoffs, lien tracking, and reconciliation, establishing single-point ownership over activities currently distributed across multiple teams • Design and implement a formal quality control function between underwriting approval and loan booking, establishing a control layer that scales with Mercury's credit products and regulatory obligations • Build scalable, bank-grade workflows for each stage of the loan servicing lifecycle • Design operational infrastructure for Standby Letters of Credit, including collateral controls, contingent liability tracking, and release procedures • Translate operational requirements into system specifications, test plans, and user acceptance criteria in partnership with development teams • Establish procedural documentation, SLAs, and control frameworks that hold up to regulatory examination • Build and maintain loan tapes and operational reporting across the portfolio • Contribute to standing up the broader credit program ahead of bank launch, including operational standards, procedures, controls, and exam-readiness documentation
Benefits
• Loan Operations at Mercury does not exist today. You are building it. • Mercury is actively becoming a bank. The controls you design, the procedures you write, and the evidence you build will be reviewed by regulators as part of that process. This is not process improvement at an established lender. It is foundational infrastructure for a new institution, and the commercial lending operation Mercury runs will reflect what you design. • This role is designed to grow into managing a standalone Loan Operations team as Mercury’s lending program scales. • The total rewards package at Mercury includes base salary, equity (stock options), 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, Seattle, Los Angeles or San Francisco: $132,400 - $165,500 • US employees outside of New York City, Seattle, Los Angeles or San Francisco: $119,200 - $149,000
