The posting

Mercury helps ambitious companies manage their finances with banking* services and tools for payments, cards, accounting, and cash management. We’re looking for a GTM strategist and sales leader to drive our growth within startups of all sizes.

You’ll own the scaling startups strategy from the ground up, driving execution and delivering massive results from Series A+ startups. You have a product that founders and finance teams already love and buy in to pour fuel on the fire to completely win the market. Working directly with our Head of Sales, Director of Revenue Strategy, and executives across GTM and product, you’ll have everything you need to move fast and own the business line. In addition, you’ll manage the Startup Sales Manager, who leads our Account Executives, and directly manage our Venture Ecosystem team. You’ll have substantial autonomy to shape the overall startup sales strategy and operate as a general manager for this part of the business. That means bringing SDRs, AEs, Venture Ecosystem Sales, Revenue Strategy & Operations, Partnerships, and Marketing together around a clear plan - and adjusting it as you learn what works.

What you’ll do

  • Own the strategy. Set priorities across segments, markets, pipeline creation, and conversion. Build an operating rhythm that keeps teams aligned and makes it clear where to invest effort.
  • Creatively combine proven SaaS sales practices with in-market work. Use strong outbound, qualification, deal management, and forecasting disciplines alongside in-person founder and investor engagement, events, and portfolio programs.
  • Raise the quality of execution. Set standards for discovery, deal strategy, and follow-through. Use coaching and reporting to identify what is working and change what is not.
  • Drive outcomes beyond the close. Help both teams win customers who activate and use Mercury for deposits, payments, cards, and their broader financial operations.
  • Lead across functions. Work closely with SDR leadership, Revenue Strategy & Operations, Partnerships, Marketing, Product, and post-sales teams to remove obstacles and move the startup business forward.
  • Build for the next stage. Hire and develop talent, improve workflows, and bring customer and market insights into decisions about the sales motion.

You’ll thrive in this role if you

  • Have a strong track record (7+ years) selling foundational software and financial products into growth stage startups, including founders and finance leaders, as well as 4+ years of people management
  • Understand the venture ecosystem and how investors, accelerators, and founder communities influence startup decisions.
  • Have led quota-carrying sales teams and can develop both a team lead and experienced individual contributors.
  • Know how to build a disciplined SaaS sales motion while recognizing where in-person relationships create an advantage.
  • Are comfortable making decisions with autonomy, aligning teams you do not directly manage, and adapting quickly in a competitive market.

How success is measured

  • Startup sales results: New customers, gross profit, pipeline health, and customer activation.
  • Venture ecosystem results: Opportunities and customers generated through the team’s founder and investor work.
  • Strategic execution: Clear priorities and effective coordination across the teams that contribute to startup growth - knowing when to go big and when to pivot.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
