Senior Strategic Partnerships Manager - Enterprise

About Strategic Partnerships at Mercury:

The Strategic Partnerships team drives customer growth, product expansion, and strategic advantage through high-impact partner relationships. We build and manage partnerships across the startup ecosystem: accounting firms, VCs, investors, ecommerce partners, incorporators, platforms, and financial institutions. We work cross-functionally with Product, GTM, Finance, Legal, Risk, and Operations to unlock new distribution channels, expand product capabilities, and strengthen Mercury's position as the leading financial platform for ambitious companies.

About the Role:

This is a ground-floor opportunity to build something that doesn't exist yet at Mercury.

Our team is growing fast and we've built most of our partnerships business bottom-up through accounting firms, VCs, accelerators, and incorporators. That motion works. But the next chapter is different: large-scale platform deals, embedded finance arrangements, and distribution partnerships that put Mercury in front of thousands of businesses through a single signed agreement.

This is a pure hunter role. You'll own Mercury's most ambitious enterprise and platform targets and be measured on deals that create real distribution leverage. The best ones will embed Mercury as the financial layer inside platforms, tools, and ecosystems that thousands or millions of businesses already use. You'll find the right targets, get yourself in the room, and architect deals that go well beyond a simple referral or co-marketing arrangement: embedded finance structures, deep API integrations, and distribution arrangements that neither side has done before.

What You'll Do:

Win platform-distribution deals

• Identify, target, and pursue the highest-leverage partnership opportunities in Mercury's addressable universe: category leaders across ecommerce (Shopify), social selling (TikTok, Meta), legal (Clio), productivity (Google), and any platform where ambitious businesses already live, then make Mercury the financial layer underneath them.

• Close deals where Mercury becomes natively embedded in a platform, reaching thousands of potential customers through a single signed agreement.
