What you'll do
Mercor is partnering with leading AI labs to advance frontier agent evaluations in finance. As a Finance Expert, you'll design realistic, end-to-end financial workflows that today's best models still struggle with, then grade how agents handle them. Expect to build scenarios spanning internal finance operations and corporate development: budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, management reporting, board packages, headcount planning, and unit economics on the FP&A side; and M&A screening, comps, DCF/LBO/merger modeling, synergy analysis, diligence, long-range planning, capital allocation memos, and investment memos on the corp dev side. These scenarios will be challenging and take long sessions of focus.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this for freelancers or full-time employees?
Both. Mercor tries to match you with clients who want long-term contractors. Unlike other platforms where you log in and grab small tasks, Mercor matches you with one company for a steady role (e.g., 'Python Tutor for 3 months').
I'm not comfortable on camera. Can I still apply?
No. The application requires a video interview with an AI avatar. The AI asks you questions about your resume, and the video is shared with potential clients to prove your communication skills.
Does it cost money to join?
No. You should never pay to join these platforms. Mercor makes money by charging the client a fee on top of your hourly rate.
Is this traditional consulting?
Not exactly. You act as a "Teacher" for advanced AI. Instead of client deliverables, you are given complex scenarios to evaluate. You grade the AI's logic, correct its hallucinations, and provide expert-level reasoning. Your job is to train the model to think like you do.
Why is the pay so high?
This role requires deep, verified expertise. General knowledge isn't enough; the model is specifically being trained on "edge cases"βthe rare, difficult, or highly technical nuances that only a senior professional would know.
What is the workload like?
This is cognitive, deep work. Unlike simple data labeling, you might spend 45-60 minutes on a single task, researching citations or verifying complex calculations. Quality is prioritized over speed.
How soon will I start?
Important: Mercor is a talent marketplace, not a task queue. Applying puts you in a pool of candidates. You will only start working when a specific client (like a major AI lab) selects your profile. This matching process can take weeks.
