Strategic Project Lead

About Mercor

Mercor is training models that predict how well someone will perform on a job better than a human can. Similar to how a human would review a resume, conduct an interview, and decide who to hire, we automate all of those processes with LLMs. Our technology is so effective it’s used by all of the top 5 AI labs.

We crossed a $100M revenue run rate and have averaged 59% month over month growth for the last 6 months, making us the fastest growing company in the world. The team is small and we remain extremely profitable because we can’t hire great people as fast as revenue is growing.

About the Role

Silicon Valley’s top AI companies work with Mercor to find domain experts who can help train and evaluate their models. As a Strategic Project Lead (SPL) at Mercor, you will drive the tactical execution of these projects, ensure top-notch service to customers, and single-handedly drive millions of dollars in revenue. In doing so, you will have a significant impact on Mercor’s long-term growth. A Strategic Project Lead will report directly to either Mercor’s President or Head of Operations.

Our team works 6 days per week. We are in-office Monday through Friday.

Key Responsibilities

  • Generate $10M+ in revenue by executing large-scale projects on behalf of leading AI labs and tech companies

  • Source, vet, and manage the performance of hundreds of domain experts from different disciplines (e.g., software engineering, medicine, law)

  • Foster strong relationships with researchers at leading AI labs and tech companies, anticipating client needs and identifying opportunities for project expansion

  • Collaborate closely with the wider Operations team to execute project strategies, meet client objectives, and drive process optimizations

  • Interface with the Engineering & Machine Learning team to improve the Mercor platform

What Are We Looking For?

  • Experience in consulting, finance, startups, or similar organizations

  • Strong analytical and communication skills

  • Experience working with customers

Compensation

  • Base cash comp from $120K-$150k

  • Generous equity grant vested over 4 years

  • A $20K relocation bonus (if moving to the Bay Area)

  • A $10K housing bonus (if you live within 0.5 miles of our office)

  • A $1K monthly stipend for meals

  • Free Equinox membership

  • Health insurance

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
