We’re looking for an Art Director to help shape how Mercury shows up visually, emotionally, and creatively across our brand campaigns, website, social, and more.

Contribute and translate complex brand strategy into simple, magnetic visual stories that connect with Mercury’s audience of founders and builders. Concept, design, and art-direct campaigns that translate Mercury’s voice and visual system into bold, emotionally resonant, and culturally attuned experiences. You’ll work cross-functionally with brand leadership, copywriting, moti
