Senior Product Manager - Account Fraud and Enablement
Holds. Limits. Locks. Closures. The judicious use of these tools are designed to protect good customers. But if wielded maladroitly, good customers get entangled in unnecessary friction, burden our operations teams, and may become detractors and churn. At Mercury, we believe banking* should be empowering and seamless, not difficult, confusing, or stressful.
As the Senior Product Manager for Account Fraud and Risk Enablement, you’ll build products that enable Mercury to master these tools and deftly balance customer experience with fraud prevention. You'll develop a deep understanding of our customers and our money movement products to build systems that protect our customers and Mercury from fraud. You’ll work cross-functionally to build 0-1 products for both end users and internal risk teams that enable Mercury to provide a seamless and safe banking experience.
We are looking for someone that can lead us in redefining how risk friction is used, measured, and optimized to unlock the seamless, magical banking experience we believe is possible.

Deep understanding of how friction points affect customer experience and customer retention metrics
Experience working with automated decisioning systems using multiple data inputs and complex rule engines
Proficiency in understanding risk data and identifying patterns that can be operationalized into product improvements
