A. , and Evolve Bank & Trust to offer banking services. Mercury aims to simplify financial operations for startups and businesses by offering a range of services including checking and savings accounts, treasury management, corporate cards, expense management, invoicing, and accounting automations. The platform is designed to streamline various banking tasks and enhance financial workflows with features like fraud monitoring and account security. It also offers investment opportunities through its Mercury Treasury product and startup support through its Mercury Raise platform.

📋 Description

• Handle payroll support, covering pay runs, direct deposit, garnishments, new hire onboarding, off-cycle payments, and tax filing corrections (W-2s, 1099s, and the rest of the fun stuff) • Diagnose and resolve payroll issues with urgency and accuracy, knowing that a missed payroll isn't just an inconvenience, it affects real people's lives • Guide customers through Mercury's payroll product with patience and clarity, translating compliance requirements and technical concepts into plain language • Turn patterns into product improvements - when you see the same question three times, you don't just answer it a third time, you flag it, document it, and help us fix it • Work closely with your lead and peers to escalate bugs, surface edge cases, and close the loop on systemic issues • Stay current on federal and state payroll tax regulations, filing deadlines, and compliance changes so you can give customers reliable, accurate guidance • Write and maintain help articles, internal playbooks, and FAQs that make the whole team smarter and customers more self-sufficient • Help build and improve internal tooling and processes that make payroll support faster, more consistent, and more scalable as Mercury's customer base grows

🎯 Requirements

• 1 - 2 years of experience in a payroll support, payroll processing, or payroll operations role. You should be genuinely comfortable with how payroll works end-to-end • 3+ years of experience in customer support or customer experience, ideally at a SaaS, fintech, or HR/payroll software company • Solid understanding of payroll fundamentals: pay schedules, payroll corrections, employer & employee support, HRIS management, and Payroll ancillary services • Ability to communicate clearly and humanly about complex regulatory and financial topics - you can explain a 941 mismatch without making someone feel dumb • Calm under pressure, especially when the stakes are high (and in payroll support, they often are) • Organized, thorough, and comfortable managing multiple open cases at varying levels of urgency • Familiarity with startup environments - our customers move fast and expect support that keeps up • Experience writing help documentation or contributing to a knowledge base • A love for process improvement and the instinct to automate whatever can be automated.
