Mercury - Senior Counsel - Product & Regulatory (Investment Products)

• 6+ years of legal experience, with at least 2 of those years focused on non-deposit investment products. • Familiarity with the Investment Advisers Act, Securities Act, Investment Company Act, Regulation Best Interest, Form CRS/ADV, FINRA rules, and related regulatory frameworks. • Some in-house experience is preferred but not required. Bonus points for exposure to regulatory agencies relevant to these products, whether as a member of agency staff or as part of an industry role. • Exceptional communication skills. You know your audience and you tailor accordingly. You're as precise in a Slack thread as you are in a regulatory filing, and you know the value of a well-selected emoji in one versus the other. • A proactive sense of ownership. You're never afraid to say "I don't know, but I'll find out." • Strong working knowledge of AI use cases within legal roles and/or financial services generally and genuine interest in using AI to drive efficiency in your work. • Some additional experience outside the investments/brokerage space. The right candidate brings a broader foundation in financial services, payments, or fintech. • What will make you successful here: • Mercury is a place where legal counsel are expected to have a point of view. Not just about what the regulation requires, but about how the product can meet that bar in a way that's elegant, scalable, and good for customers. The people who thrive on this team treat ambiguity as an invitation rather than a reason to pause. They read a regulation and think about what it permits, not just what it prohibits. • You'll also spend a meaningful amount of your time on work that doesn't look like traditional legal practice: scoping cross-functional projects, pressure-testing product designs, building operational processes alongside compliance and ops partners. If you're someone who gets energy from that kind of work, and who measures their own impact by whether the product got better and not just whether the memo was airtight, you'll do well here. • Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank.
