## About the role

You’ll lead the product designers responsible for some of Mercury’s core experiences and establish a point of view for how our interfaces should evolve as the possibilities of software change. You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, and Design Systems to turn emerging interaction ideas into coherent, reusable patterns, while building a team known for exceptional product thinking and craft.

## What they're looking for

- Define and evolve Mercury’s interaction philosophy, with a particular focus on how AI-native, conversational, adaptive, and proactive experiences should work across our products
- Set an exceptional bar for product quality across the Interfaces organization, helping teams like mobile, dashboard and our agentic product understand not only whether an experience works, but why it feels right
- Lead, coach, and develop a team of product designers, creating an environment where designers can take creative risks, develop strong points of view, and consistently produce exceptional work
- Shape product strategy alongside Product and Engineering rather than waiting for requirements to arrive. Bring design into ambiguous problems early and help teams identify the right problems to solve
- Stay close to the work. Use critique, prototyping, exploration, and hands-on collaboration to push ideas further and help teams turn ambitious concepts into thoughtful, pragmatic experiences
- Help raise the craft and product-thinking bar of Mercury’s broader Design organization, sharing frameworks, perspectives, and emerging ideas that make everyone around you a stronger designer
