"Life is a process of connecting the dots, not in a straight line, but in a way that creates a meaningful picture." - Unknown

Just as life's journey is about connecting the dots in a non-linear way to create a meaningful picture, tackling financial crimes is not a straight line; it requires detecting intricate patterns, continuously monitoring activities, and optimizing strategies to uncover hidden connections and effectively combat fraud and money laundering. The Risk Product team needs a product leader to shape and guide our scoring, monitoring, and investigations products to stop fraud, money-laundering, and sanctions evasion across all of Mercury.

As a Senior Product Manager at Mercury, you will lead collaboration with designers, engineers, and other key partners to ship high quality products to our customers.

While you will focus on a particular area, you’ll develop a point of view on how our products fit into Mercury more broadly — working with teams like Core Product, Onboarding, Growth, Legal, and Compliance.

As set forth in Mercury’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection.

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
