The posting

For the longest time, banking* has only really served one purpose, holding money securely. In doing so, it’s also slowed us down and overcomplicated things. That’s where Mercury comes in. Banking should do more and we’re on a mission to make that happen through powerful banking solutions and simplifying all of the financial workflows that come with managing a business. To accomplish this end, we also need to ensure the trust and safety of our customers, partners and ecosystem. Thankfully, Mercury has a world class Risk team to detect and mitigate any threats. And this team is growing. We’re looking to bring on a Risk User Experience Specialist to make risk decisions in response to risk-related user inquiries, all while providing best-in-class user experiences.

As a Risk User Experience Specialist, you’ll be responsible for responding to transaction limit request increases, making risk decisions on queued payments and check deposits, and leveraging your general risk knowledge to escalate unusual or high risk behavior to relevant teams. You’ll be responsible for providing great user experiences to Mercury users while making highly efficient and high quality risk assessments. You will report directly to the Risk User Experience Lead and will be supported by a highly functional team.

*Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group and Column N.A., Members FDIC.

  • Manage a high-volume caseload within service level agreements and with critical attention to detail
  • Respond to Risk support requests in the mailbox and Slack channels, related to limit increases, and other account operations inquiries from financial partners, users, or other internal/external parties
  • Partner with our BPO team by providing second opinions and exception guidance on escalated reviews for both check deposits and overlimit transactions
  • Document rationale for risk decisions with supporting documentation
  • Write clear documentation on current processes and help train future teammates
  • Identify opportunities to make processes more observable, scalable, and efficient through tooling changes and procedure updates
  • Maintain a positive user experience, while mitigating any potential fraud loss or risk to Mercury

  • Manage relationships with external parties with confidence and kindness
  • Act as a generalist by assessing various types of risk when making decisions

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
