About Mercury

Mercury is building a complete finance stack for startups. We work hard to create the easiest and safest banking* experience possible to simplify entrepreneurs’ and business owners’ financial lives.

About the Role

We’re looking to hire a Senior Treasury Operations Specialist to help execute and evolve the operational engine powering both our SEC-registered investment advisor and our FINRA-member Broker Dealer. This is a high-impact individual contributor role for someone who thrives in detail-rich, regulated environments and can operate efficiently and independently. You’ll work closely with the Principal Operations Officer to carry out operational workflows, resolve complex issues, and drive improvements across our investment stack. This role is ideal for someone who has deep brokerage operations knowledge, a strong sense of ownership, and the ability to both execute precisely and communicate clearly.

Responsibilities

  • Support end-to-end operations for Mercury’s Treasury product including account onboarding, money movement, and exception handling
  • Experience executing and reviewing KYC processes in a broker-dealer setting, including identity verification, beneficial ownership analysis, and risk-based customer profiling in accordance with FINRA and SEC requirements.
  • Execute core broker-dealer operational tasks such as trade reconciliation, approvals, ACATs, cashiering, and daily reporting
  • Serve as a go-to contributor for regulatory and procedural accuracy in daily operations and special projects
  • Contribute to the maintenance of our Written Supervisory Procedures by identifying procedural gaps or changes in workflows
  • Support licensed team members and help ensure compliance with FINRA and SEC requirements across operational processes
  • Work closely with Engineering and Product teams to troubleshoot partner issues and suggest process or tooling improvements
  • Provide high-quality written documentation for process flows, controls, and reporting requirements
  • Identify operational inefficiencies, propose solutions, and take initiative to implement improvements
  • Assist with readiness for exams or audits by ensuring books and records are accurately maintained and easily retrievable
  • Help monitor volume trends and surface insights through regular reporting and analysis

Qualifications

  • Hold active FINRA Series 7, 63 and 24 licenses
  • Have 5+ years of experience in broker-dealer or investment operations with firsthand involvement in trade support, account servicing, or control functions
  • Demonstrate excellent written communication and documentation skills
  • Be comfortable navigating regulatory nuance and operational edge cases
  • Have a track record of delivering high-quality work quickly and consistently
  • Work independently with minimal oversight, while collaborating fluidly with cross-functional teams
  • Possess a strong understanding of the operational requirements under FINRA and SEC rules, including recordkeeping, supervision, and customer protection
  • Enjoy solving problems with a balance of efficiency and precision
