Account Executive

<p>When Karl Elsener introduced the original Swiss Army knife, he wasn’t just crafting a tool; he was defining a new standard for adaptable craftsmanship, something that works just as well in a workshop as it does in the wild. That spirit is at the heart of this Account Executive role at Mercury, where success comes from being a true multipurpose operator: someone who can prospect, run discovery, adapt on the fly, decode messy financial workflows, and make founders feel understood and supported.</p> <p>At Mercury, we build modern business banking along with tools for payments, cards, and cash management so companies can run their finances from a single, intuitive dashboard. We are looking for <strong>multiple Account Executives</strong> to help a wide range of businesses make Mercury the core of how money moves through their company. One day you might be talking to a fast-growing AI startup, the next to an ecommerce brand you love, or a 30-year-old family owned business that is ready to modernize its banking and finance operations. Many of these customers are lean and fast-moving, and they will look to you as a partner who understands both their business and their operations.</p> <p>This is a full-cycle, quota-carrying, consultative role in a fast-changing environment where you will build and iterate on your own sales motion.</p> <h3><strong>What you will do</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Own a quota and the full sales cycle from first touch through activation across a diverse range of companies across all stages, industries, and use cases.</li> <li>Design and execute your own pipeline strategy across outbound, inbound, and creative channels, while partnering closely with SDRs.</li> <li>Run high-quality discovery with founders, operators, and lean finance teams to uncover real problems in how they manage cash, payments, and financial operations.</li> <li>Connect pain-points to Mercury’s products and tell clear, simple stories that help customers make confident decisions.</li> <li>Drive a strong pipeline of high-velocity deals while staying in control of your time and competing priorities.</li> <li>Collaborate with Account Management, Partnerships, Marketing, and Product to win complex deals and unlock new segments.</li> <li>Turn what you see in the field into structured feedback and ideas that improve our go-to-market motion, processes, and product.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Who you are</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Coachable and growth-oriented. You seek out feedback, integrate it quickly, and can point to a clear improvement curve in your recent roles.</li> <li>Curious, creative, and strategic.
