Mercury is a fintech platform providing banking, treasury, and financial workflow solutions for startups and technology companies. As the company scales, the complexity of executive support grows, and Mercury is seeking a Manager of Executive Business Partners to lead and develop the team supporting leaders across the organization.
In this role, you will manage a team of Executive Business Partners while also providing direct support to one or two executives. You'll combine sharp people leadership with fluency in AI tools and workflows, viewing AI not as a nice-to-have but as core to excellent executive support in 2026.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading, coaching, and developing Mercury's Executive Business Partners with clear expectations, actionable feedback, and meaningful growth opportunities
- Establishing operating principles and best practices for executive support, creating consistency while preserving flexibility for different leaders
- Evaluating, piloting, and rolling out AI tools and workflows that give the team real leverage and set the bar for AI fluency
- Developing a holistic view of executive support needs and proactively evolving team structure and coverage as the organization changes
- Building trusted partnerships with senior leaders to understand priorities and support needs
- Identifying patterns and rebuilding systems, processes, tools, and team rhythms—including AI-driven automation—to make executive support more effective and efficient at scale
- Maintaining strong connection across the Executive Business Partner team and ensuring information, best practices, and business context flow effectively
You'll be a trusted partner to leaders across Mercury, developing a strong understanding of the business and using that context to anticipate needs and identify gaps. You'll bring both a people-first approach and an operational mindset, equally comfortable developing your team, rolling out new AI tools, or solving complex problems.
Requirements:
- Experience managing and developing Executive Assistants or Executive Business Partners, ideally in a high-growth or dynamic environment
- Hands-on experience using AI tools to meaningfully increase a team's leverage
- Experience partnering with VP- and C-suite-level leaders and a strong point of view on what excellent, AI-forward executive support looks like
- Strong people leadership skills, including setting expectations, delivering thoughtful feedback, developing talent, and adapting your management approach to different people and situations
- Excellent judgment and the ability to balance the needs of individual leaders, your team, and the broader company when priorities are competing or the path forward isn't obvious
- Curiosity about the business and about new tools, comfort moving between strategic and tactical work, and a willingness to jump into the details when needed
