Role Overview
Mercor is partnering with leading AI labs on Project Atlas — an initiative to build realistic enterprise environments that frontier AI agents are trained and evaluated in. We're seeking experienced supply-chain and logistics professionals from Fortune 500 retailers, manufacturers, 3PLs, and carriers (e.g., Amazon, Walmart, Target, UPS, FedEx, DHL, J.B. Hunt, C.H. Robinson, XPO) to recreate the digital workspaces they run every day and design the tasks that genuinely challenge state-of-the-art AI.
- Build a realistic digital workspace centered on the Drive folders you use day-to-day — the S&OP decks, network-design models, carrier RFPs, inventory reports, DC performance dashboards, sourcing strategies, and email threads that reflect how you actually organize your work — with some representation of the platforms that support it (e.g., Manhattan Associates WMS or Blue Yonder, SAP S/4HANA, Power BI)
- Design multi-step tasks grounded in your real workflows that require navigating multiple apps, files, and stakeholders in a way that meaningfully challenges frontier AI agents
- Collaborate with other supply-chain and logistics experts in your field to design the environment, shape task scope, and review each other's scenarios for realism and rigor
- Work asynchronously with research teams to refine task designs and evaluation criteria for supply-chain agent benchmarks
- Contribute to frontier AI research and benchmarking — the work you produce directly informs how leading labs train and evaluate the next generation of AI systems
- 3+ years of full-time experience at a Fortune 500 retailer, manufacturer, 3PL, or large carrier
- Background in one or more areas such as:
- Demand / supply planning and S&OP / IBP
- Transportation management, carrier sourcing, or network design
- Warehouse operations, DC management, or WMS / labor planning
- Procurement / sourcing / supplier management
- Global trade, customs, or international logistics
- Certifications a plus: APICS CPIM / CSCP / CLTD
- Day-to-day use of Manhattan Associates WMS / Blue Yonder, SAP S/4HANA, and Tableau / Power BI
- Strong analytical thinking and writing — able to translate supply-chain workflows into structured task specs
- You will be engaged as an independent contractor.
- This is a fully remote role that can be completed on your own schedule.
- Projects can be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance.
- Your work at Mercor will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.
- Payments are weekly on Stripe or Wise based on services rendered.
- Please note: We are unable to support H1-B or STEM OPT candidates at this time.
Requirements
- Must be eligible to work in Remote
- Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)
- Reliable high-speed internet connection
- Bachelor's's degree or equivalent professional experience
- Demonstrated expertise in Writing
How long hiring takes
Across the AI training platforms we refer candidates to, the median gap between referral and hire is about 30 days. It varies by platform and role, so treat it as a rough guide for this one.

Few outlets pay Writing specialists what the leading AI labs pay for direct judgment. At $45–$65/hr, this Manufacturing - Supply Chain & Logistics Expert role prices in the expertise itself, separate from hours billed or clients managed.
Talent pool
We're light on Writing candidates

Common questions
Is Mercor for freelancers or full-time contractors?
Mercor places you with one client for a defined engagement, like 'Python Tutor for 3 months', rather than having you grab small tasks from a shared queue. Most roles function as steady contract work, not one-off gigs.
Does Mercor's application require an on-camera interview?
Yes, every applicant records a video interview with an AI interviewer that asks questions about your resume. Clients review that recording to judge communication skills before matching, so there's no way to apply without going on camera.
What does asynchronous AI training work mean in practice?
No set hours, no check-ins, no meetings. You log in when you want, pick up an available task, complete it, and submit; nobody is waiting on you in real time. That's different from remote employment, where you're expected online during business hours. The tradeoff: you're competing with others for available tasks, so an empty queue means there's simply nothing to do until more work is released.
What does Writing work look like for a Manufacturing - Supply Chain & Logistics Expert?
Tasks here are scoped to Writing, not generic labeling. As a Manufacturing - Supply Chain & Logistics Expert, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Writing) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Writing background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
Expert is named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with this, expect the screening process to test for it directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $45–$65/hr, an hourly rate. The range reflects experience level and negotiated terms, not a placeholder, so where you land in it depends on your background and the assessment. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
You'll be taken to Mercor's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
How soon will I start working after applying to Mercor?
Not immediately. Mercor is a talent marketplace, not a task queue, so applying puts you in a pool of candidates. You start working only once a specific client, like a major AI lab, selects your profile, and that matching process can take weeks.
