By the 1970s, the travel industry had quietly figured out something that most businesses hadn't: growth at scale required three different go-to-market motions happening at once. Individual travelers booked directly — they walked in, called up, and bought. Corporate travel programs needed a sales rep to negotiate rates and sign contracts. And then there were travel agents: independent businesses with deep client relationships who effectively decided what their clients bought. The airlines and hotel chains that grew fastest were the ones that recognized all of these distribution motions and invested in each of them in the right ways.
Mercury runs the same three motions. Most of our growth is self-serve and product-led: Founders discover us, sign up, and stay. Our fast-growing sales team closes meaningful deals with larger businesses. And our partners — incorporators, accountants, investors, and platforms that already have the trust of the businesses we want to reach — refer customers to us the same way a great travel agent would: because they believe in our product and its value to their clients. We are looking for a go-to-market leader who can make all three of these motions work harder together with a data-driven strategy and consistent positioning across the customer journey.

You Should Have

Demonstrated experience driving growth across multiple GTM motions; you've run product-led, sales-led, and partner-led programs, and you understand how they interact
Strong messaging and positioning craft — you can develop a compelling narrative from scratch, test it with customers, and translate it into assets that actually get used by sales and partners
Revenue mindset — you track contribution to pipeline, activation, and retention, and you know how to use data to argue for, refine, and defend your strategy
Experience working with sales leadership on messaging and proof points to improve their team’s ability to source pipeline and close deals.
Ability to lead cross-functional initiatives without direct authority — aligning sales, product, partnerships, and growth teams around a shared GTM plan
Nice to Have
Fintech, banking*, or financial services experience — familiarity with the regulatory, trust, and competitive dynamics of this space
Experience at a company that scaled through multiple GTM channels simultaneously, particularly one with a strong PLG foundation that was extending into enterprise and/or channel
Data fluency — comfortable pulling your own analysis in Amplitude, Hex, Metabase, or SQL rather than waiting on a data team
