Senior Product Manager - Ledger

Mercury's ability to deliver on customer trust comes down to one thing: every dollar must be accounted for, in every account, across every transaction, with a complete audit trail that satisfies regulators, engineers, and accountants alike. Mercury's Ledger is the system that makes that possible—a double-entry bookkeeping engine that records every financial event as balanced, auditable entries as money moves through Mercury's products and banking* infrastructure.

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own this platform across Mercury. The Ledger team sits at the intersection of financial infrastructure, regulatory accountability, and org-wide platform adoption—and the PM who leads it will need to be as comfortable discussing chart of accounts design as reviewing event schemas. This is a load-bearing platform role: the decisions made here flow downstream to every payment rail at Mercury and have direct impact on regulatory and reporting obligations.

*Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group and Column N.A., Members FDIC.

As part of the journey, we would expect you to:

• Own the Ledger roadmap: Drive strategy and execution for Mercury's Double Entry Ledger (DEL)—the financial system of record.
• Drive org-wide ledger adoption: Partner with payment rails teams to enable their flows on the ledger platform, ensuring event-to-ledger integration is clean, correct, and scalable. Remove adoption friction, establish patterns, and accelerate the standardization that makes precise reconciliation possible.
• Build next generation financial infrastructure: Own the implementation of our financial processes across charts of accounts, transfer code definitions, and GL mapping frameworks that connect to our core systems of record.
• Partner with Finance and Accounting: Translate accounting requirements into product architecture, and translate product decisions back to stakeholders who think in debits, credits, journal entries, and regulatory reports. Drive alignment on GL mappings, posting accuracy, and financial reporting pipelines.
• Set the financial data standard: Define what clean, reconcilable financial data looks like at Mercury. Work with the Reconciliation team to ensure every ledger entry is accurate, traceable, and exception-free.
• Navigate a complex, high-stakes stakeholder environment: Coordinate across banking platform teams, payment rails teams, Finance, Compliance, Risk—all of whom depend on your platform and have a voice in how it evolves.

Some things that might make you successful in a role like this

We're looking for a product manager who brings both technical depth and financial rigor to platform infrastructure—someone who understands why a double-entry ledger matters and can build the product that makes it work at bank* scale.

• 7+ years of product management experience in fintech, financial services, or platform/infrastructure product roles.
• Real technical fluency: you can engage credibly with engineers on event-sourced architectures, database consistency models, double-entry accounting data models, and financial data pipelines—not as a generalist, but as a peer.
• Meaningful background in accounting, finance, or banking operations—you understand chart of accounts, GL mapping, journal entries, reconciliation workflows, and why they matter to regulators.
• Experience building and scaling internal platform products with broad adoption requirements—you know how to work with adopter teams, reduce onboarding friction, and drive org-wide standardization across a distributed set of engineers.
• A highly structured, data-driven approach to product decisions: you think in systems, model second and third-order effects, and communicate tradeoffs in a way that lands with both engineering and finance audiences.
• Exceptional cross-functional communication—you earn credibility in rooms with accountants, engineers, compliance officers, and regulators, and you hold your own in all of them.
