About this role
Building Mercury's customer base has turned out to be a wild endeavor! With our continued growth in lending, we're looking for a seasoned credit and capital sales professional to continue to grow our capital products. This role focuses on selling to established, high-value mid-market brands generating millions in annual sales revenue. You'll bring the skills of a proven lending closer, someone who's structured and closed credit deals, while still thriving in the fast-moving, resourceful environment Mercury is known for.
You'll partner with founders and finance teams to understand their cash flow and capital needs on a deep level, and translate that understanding into credit-sound offers alongside underwriting. This role focuses on building your own pipeline of exceptional companies, starting with high-quality ecommerce brands, and expanding over time to other industries doing $20M-$500M in annual revenue. You'll own complex deal cycles that require both a strong banking relationship and real internal selling across underwriting and the executive team.

This might be the right role for you if:
• You've sold credit and lending products before, either at a fintech lender or bank.
• You don't wait for a pipeline to show up — you go find it, through outbound, networking, and relationship-building.
• You've managed a deal cycle that took months, involved a term sheet, and required you to keep multiple internal and external stakeholders aligned at once.
• When underwriting says no to a deal you like, you understand why, and you know how to bring back a structure that works for everyone.
You will:
• Own the full sales cycle from self-sourced pipeline to close, selling Mercury's working capital products (term loans and rolling lines) to high-growth brands generating $20M-$500M in annual revenue.
• Build and maintain a high-quality pipeline through self-prospecting, outbound campaigns, and strategic networking.
• Run deep discovery to understand a business's growth trajectory, cash flow patterns, and capital needs, then work with underwriting to structure compelling, credit-sound offers for complex, high-value deals.
• Sell internally as much as externally: build consensus across underwriting and the executive team to move deals forward without cutting corners on credit quality.
• Manage long, multi-stakeholder deal cycles — often involving founders, CFOs, and existing lenders or banking relationships — while creating urgency and maintaining momentum.
• Negotiate deal terms that work for both the business and Mercury, balancing growth ambition with credit discipline.
• Identify and pursue opportunities to expand relationships into other Mercury products (banking*, credit card, treasury) as the account grows.
• Share market and customer insight that helps shape how Mercury underwrites
