Data Strategy & Operations Leader

Mercury is redefining *banking for ambitious companies and behind every great financial platform is a data system that people can actually trust.

Turning that activity into clear, reliable intelligence — without brittle pipelines or constant rework — is critical to how we grow.

• Design and evolve core GTM data models across Salesforce, ETL, and analytics layers
• Partner with Data Engineering to align GTM schemas with enterprise data models and define clear data contracts between source systems and downstream consumers
• Partner with Data Science / Analytics to ensure revenue data is interpretable, statistically sound, and reflects how the business actually operates
• Own clarity around data ownership boundaries, shared dependencies, and escalation paths when upstream or downstream changes impact revenue integrity
• Define and uphold data quality, freshness, consistency, and documentation standards for revenue platforms
• Monitor and improve pipeline reliability, performance, and scalability, proactively identifying fragile or redundant transformations
• Identify opportunities to automate manual or error-prone data workflows and reduce operational overhead
