Support Team Lead - Treasury

Mercury is building a complete finance stack for startups. As we scale, the complexity of our money movement systems—and the support experience around them—keeps growing. We’re hiring a Treasury Support Lead to build and lead a brand-new specialty support function focused on treasury and investment-related support work.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity and feels energized by a blank canvas. You’ll scope the function, document the playbook, and help trailblaze how Treasury Support operates at Mercury.

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

What you’ll do

• Build the Treasury Support function from the ground up: define scope/ownership, escalation paths, workflows, SLAs, and quality standards—then document it into durable runbooks and playbooks.
• Lead and develop a team of Treasury Support Specialists (starting with a small cohort, with room to grow): hiring, onboarding, coaching, and performance management.
• Own complex, high-stakes support work across internal funds movement, explaining securities transactions, and discussions about suitability, plus customer questions tied to investments/holdings and securities transactions.
• Partner closely with Treasury Ops and cross functional partners to resolve discrepancies and unblock customers quickly and accurately.
• Drive continuous improvement: identify systemic issues and repetitive failures, document themes, and work cross-functionally with Engineering/Product/Ops to improve tooling, routing, and customer-facing processes.
• Be a hands-on leader: jump into escalations when needed, support the team during peak times, and maintain a high bar for accuracy and customer communication.
• Be a key contributor in expanding our specialized support coverage with opportunity to stretch into influential areas & new products beyond Treasury.

What you bring

• 2+ years leading customer support or other user-facing teams (ideally in a high-growth environment).
• 3+ years of experience in support, finance operations, treasury-related workflows, or a closely related field.
• Comfort operating in high-liability environments where precision and documentation matter.
• Working knowledge of funds movements, brokerage activity, and concepts—and the curiosity to investigate open-ended issues beyond the first answer.
• Excellent written communication: you can clearly summarize complex problems for customers and internal partners.
• Ability to create structure where it doesn’t exist—turning ambiguity into clear processes, training, and scalable team practices.
• Comfort using data/visualization tools (e.g., Omni/Zendesk Explore) to spot trends and drive decisions.

Required licenses (Treasury Support roles)

You must hold or be eligible to obtain and maintain:

• Securities Industry Essentials (SIE)
• Series 7
• Series 63
• Series 65 or Series 66
• Series 24
