Job Details

We’re looking for a Community Manager to lead and engage with communities that matter to our founder and builder audiences, starting with Reddit, X, and our own Mercury-owned spaces. You’ll be on the front line of authentic interaction in founder circles and other entrepreneurial communities, representing Mercury where the conversations are already happening and helping us deepen connection and sentiment across multiple platforms.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who deeply understands the founder experience and who knows how to build trust and drive authentic conversation without sounding like a brand bot.

Mercury is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group, Column N.A., and Evolve Bank & Trust; Members FDIC.

 

What You’ll Do

  • Craft and execute a strategy for community engagement on Reddit and X
    • Own our organic presence on each channel
    • Monitor high-signal threads and actively participate in a way that’s native to the platform
    • Surface opportunities for organic engagement, sentiment shaping, and content inspiration
    • Build trust in Mercury’s voice by being present, helpful, and founder-first
    • Measure and report on the impact of this work
  • Identify other external communities Mercury should be present in
    • Research opportunities, explore ways to test for impact, and develop plans for resourcing as appropriate
  • Manage Mercury’s owned Slack community
    • Run our existing founder Slack
    • Create a strong feedback loop between community conversations and internal teams (marketing, product, support)
  • Be the connective tissue across paid and organic efforts
    • Collaborate with the Growth Marketing team to ensure continuity between our paid Reddit and X strategies and our organic presence
    • Share learnings and community insights regularly with the broader Marketing and Product teams

 

You should : 

  • Have proven experience building or moderating online communities, especially on Reddit and X.
  • Be fluent in internet culture and niche forums (e.g. Reddit, Discord, IndieHackers), and have a track record of showing up authentically in those spaces.
  • Be highly autonomous and proactive — you consistently surface opportunities and initiate engagement without waiting for direction.
  • Be a strong communicator who prioritizes authentic, dialogue-driven community engagement over brand broadcasting.
  • Know how to analyze community insights and turn them into actionable feedback for cross-functional teams (e.g. marketing, product).
  • Have experience collaborating across social, content, and growth teams to align community initiatives with broader strategy.
  • Thrive in ambiguity and fast-paced environments, with a natural bias toward experimentation and iteration.
  • Bring sharp copy instincts and a strong sense of brand voice, with experience contributing to content or communications.
  • Bonus: You’re already familiar with Mercury, founder communities, or the fintech ecosystem

The total rewards package at Mercury includes base salary, equity (stock options), and benefits.

Our salary and equity ranges are highly competitive within the SaaS and fintech industry and are updated regularly using the most reliable compensation survey data for our industry.
