资深品牌设计师
Staff Brand Designer
1954年，埃罗·沙里宁为印第安纳州哥伦布市的一家分公司设计了玻璃墙、没有独立办公室、完全开放的平面布局。它被树木环绕；家具由赫尔曼·米勒制作；大堂地面是厚重的粗犷砖块。它以透明和社区为核心建造。从那时起，发生了许多变化——萨里宁的分公司现在是一个会议中心，人们越来越多地生活在互联网上，很难想到有哪家金融机构仍然将设计思维应用于他们的公司。
Mercury致力于打破这些预期。我们是一家金融科技公司，帮助初创企业减少花在银行事务上的时间，更多地专注于构建。我们认为成功的关键在于周到的设计——并且我们对设计工艺设定了极高的标准。我们正在寻找一位资深品牌设计师来树立这一标准：一位眼光如此精准，执行如此细致的人，只要他们存在，周围的工作就会因他们而变得更好。
这是一个为注重细节的设计师准备的职位——那些大多数人不会注意到的细节，如字体层次、负空间、网格、裁剪等。一位经过多年在高水平上辛勤工作的设计师，形成了真正的审美哲学，并将这种哲学带入他们所触及的每一件事中。你将负责Mercury最复杂的技术品牌设计工作，为品牌工作室提供工艺监督，并帮助定义我们的品牌在持续发展过程中视觉卓越的样子。
*Mercury是一家金融科技公司，不是FDIC保险的银行。银行业务通过Choice Financial Group和Column N.A.提供，成员FDIC。
在这个职位中，你将：
- 设定并保持Mercury品牌在活动、网站、社交媒体、活动以及品牌接触的每个表面的工艺标准。
- 全程领导最复杂且高可见度的品牌设计项目，从简报到交付。
- 与资深品牌设计师和创意领导合作，共同领导Mercury创意方向的演变——定义并执行字体、图像、布局和动态方面的视觉标准。
- 提供品牌工作室输出的实际工艺监督——审查工作，提高质量基准，并帮助团队做出更好的决策。
- 委托并指导外部创意人员：摄影师、插画师和动态设计师。
- 开发品牌系统文档和d

In 1954, Eero Saarinen designed a branch office with glass walls, no offices, and a completely open floor plan in Columbus, Indiana. It was surrounded by trees; the furniture was made by Herman Miller; the lobby flooring was thick, rustic brick. It was built with transparency and community at its core. Since then, a lot of things have happened — Saarinen's branch is now a conference center, people increasingly live on the internet, and it's hard to think of a single financial institution that still applies design thinking to their company.
Mercury is on a mission to defy those expectations. We're a financial technology company that helps startups spend less time banking* and more time building. We believe that the key to our success revolves around thoughtful design — and we hold the craft of that design to an exceptionally high standard. We're looking for a Staff Brand Designer who sets that bar: someone whose eye is so precise, and whose execution is so considered, that the work around them gets better just by virtue of their presence.
This is a role for a designer who sweats the details that most people don't notice — the type hierarchy, the negative space, the grid, the crop. Someone who has developed a genuine aesthetic philosophy over years of doing hard work at a high level, and who brings that philosophy to everything they touch. You'll own the most technically complex brand design work at Mercury, provide craft oversight across the Brand Studio, and help define what visual excellence looks like as our brand continues to evolve.
*Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group and Column N.A., Members FDIC.
In this role, you’ll:
- Set and uphold the craft standard for Mercury's brand — across campaigns, web, social, events, and every surface the brand touches.
- Lead the most technically complex and high-visibility brand design projects end-to-end, from brief through delivery.
- Partner with a staff-level brand designer and creative leadership to co-lead the evolution of Mercury's creative direction — defining and executing visual standards across typography, imagery, layout, and motion.
- Provide hands-on craft oversight across Brand Studio output — reviewing work, raising the quality floor, and helping the team make better decisions.
- Commission and art-direct external creatives: photographers, illustrators, and motion designers.
- Develop brand system documentation and decision-making frameworks that help the team move with confidence and consistency.
- Mentor IC3 and IC4 designers through critique, pairing, and direct feedback — elevating their craft through the work, not just in conversation.
- Collaborate with brand strategists, copywriters, PMMs, and leadership on how Mercury shows up across all channels.
- Shape how Brand Studio uses AI in its craft. You’ll set the standard for where AI belongs in the creative process, build AI-ready brand guidelines the team can design against, and hold the quality bar as these tools become part of how work gets made.
What you’ll bring:
- A portfolio that is simply excellent — work that demonstrates mastery of typography, layout, color, and composition across a range of brand contexts.
- A clear and deeply held aesthetic point of view: you can articulate what makes something great and what makes something fall short, and you've built that perspective through years of rigorous practice.
- Fluency in brand systems — you understand how to build for scale and consistency, and you've stewarded a brand through growth or change.
- 7–10+ years of brand design experience, with a background that includes high-craft environments: agency, fashion, elevated consumer, or design-forward tech.
- Experience operating at a staff level: you work autonomously, influence without authority, and make decisions that shape the output of an entire team.
- Proficiency in Figma and hands-on experience contributing to or owning a design system.
- Strong verbal and presentation skills — you can communicate the process, intent, and impact of your design decisions with clarity.
- The judgment to know when to zoom in and when to zoom out, and the discipline to hold both at once.
- A considered point of view on AI’s place in high-craft design. You’ve used AI tooling in real creative work and can guide a team on where it belongs and how to use it without lowering the bar.
- Curiosity, restraint, and a genuine passion for doing work that's worth doing.
