## Description

At Mercury, we're looking for a Senior People Partner to partner with our Legal, Compliance, and Risk organisations. As a Senior People Partner, you will report to our Head of People Partners and play a critical role in shaping team health, manager effectiveness, employee growth, and organisational scale during a pivotal stage of Mercury's growth.

You will work closely with leaders as you support and consult across a variety of people processes and programs, including career development, performance management, employee relations, executive coaching, and organisational design. If you're energised by solving people challenges, building strong relationships, and helping a mission-driven company scale intentionally, this is an opportunity to make a real impact from day one.

Key responsibilities include:

Deeply understanding the business as a whole and acting as a strategic HR partner to executives and leaders across Legal, Compliance, and Risk. Providing a consultative approach that combines HR expertise, business savvy, and intuition to diagnose issues and provide creative HR solutions. Advising leaders and managers on all things people-related, such as performance management & coaching, employee relations, levelling processes and organisational development. Keeping a finger on the pulse of organisational health, and designing interventions as you spot potential challenges or areas of risk. Partnering with cross-functional People team colleagues to build impactful programs spanning recruiting, talent management, employee relations, internal mobility, employee engagement. Driving key talent processes with your client groups including annual performance reviews, talent planning, and compensation cycles.

Requirements include:

A bachelor's degree or something you feel is equivalent. 7-10+ years of experience in a people-facing HR role, with at least 2 years as an HRBP. Preferably, you've spent most of your time at high growth companies. Skilled in coaching, facilitation, and influencing colleagues at different levels. Love building thoughtful, innovative people processes that can scale. Willing to say the hard thing and speak up for what you believe in. Passionate about tackling problems and solving them in a creative and principled way. High level of integrity and the ability to handle confidential information discreetly. Passion for working efficiently with great tools, suggest new tools where there are opportunities for improvement, and be willing to learn the tools we are currently using (Radford, Workday, Lattice, Notion). Having a ton of fun while doing everything above!

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