From the Mercor listing
Role Overview
Mercor is partnering with leading AI labs to engage experienced regulatory compliance and risk management professionals — compliance officers, risk managers, internal auditors, and regulatory affairs specialists — to improve AI systems' reasoning around regulatory frameworks, enterprise risk, and compliance program design. Contributors will apply their expertise in areas such as regulatory examinations, enterprise risk management, compliance monitoring, and policy governance to evaluate and enhance AI performance on compliance and risk-specific tasks. This is a project-based opportunity with potential for ongoing engagement depending on performance and project needs.
Key Responsibilities
Review and evaluate AI-generated outputs related to regulatory requirements, compliance program assessments, risk identification, and control frameworks
Create realistic scenarios based on compliance and risk workflows — regulatory examinations, internal audit findings, risk assessments, policy gap analyses, and remediation planning
Annotate, label, and validate data across compliance use cases (e.g., control testing, regulatory change management, sanctions screening, AML/BSA program evaluation)
Provide structured feedback on AI accuracy in areas such as regulatory standards (FINRA, OCC, FFIEC, FDA, SEC, GDPR, HIPAA), risk frameworks (COSO, ISO 31000), and industry-specific compliance terminology
Collaborate asynchronously with research teams to refine evaluation frameworks for compliance and risk AI
Ideal Qualifications
3+ years of professional experience in a compliance, risk management, or regulatory affairs role at a regulated company, consultancy, or regulatory body
Background in one or more areas such as:
Compliance program management (financial services, healthcare, pharma, or tech)
Enterprise risk management (ERM) or operational risk
Regulatory affairs or government relations
Internal audit or assurance
Policy development, training, or third-party risk management
Professional certifications a plus (CRCM, CAMS, CIA, CRMA, CHC, CCEP, CPA)
Strong analytical thinking and ability to translate regulatory and risk workflows into structured evaluation tasks
Clear written communication and attention to detail
Compensation Note
Task Completion Pay: Competitive and based on task quality (~$1,150 – $1,450 per completed task, subject to change as the project evolves)
Performance Bonus: Top performers receive a weekly bonus incentive on top of their per task rate!
Hourly Opportunity: Top performers may be invited to transition to an hourly compensation model based on sustained quality and throughput.

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.

Set up your profile →Why this role
AI labs pay $1150–$1450/task for a Regulatory Compliance & Risk Management Expert because getting Accounting nuance wrong in a training set is expensive to fix later. That's what this rate is pricing in.

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.
Why do these AI training roles pay so much?
Because general knowledge isn't what's being tested. The model already knows the basics; what it needs is expertise on edge cases, the rare, difficult, highly technical judgment calls only a senior professional in the field would make correctly.
What does the day-to-day workload look like for elite-expert AI training roles?
Slow and deep, not fast and repetitive. A single task can take 45-60 minutes of researching citations or verifying complex calculations. Quality is what's being measured here, not throughput.
What does Accounting work look like for a Regulatory Compliance & Risk Management Expert?
Tasks here are scoped to Accounting, not generic labeling. As a Regulatory Compliance & Risk Management Expert, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Accounting) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Accounting 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 $1150–$1450/task, a per-task 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.
How does per-task pay translate to an hourly rate?
It doesn't directly, that's the catch. Each task has a listed price and an estimated completion time, but your actual effective rate depends on how fast you work. If a task is estimated at 20 minutes and pays $8, that is $24/hr for a fast worker and $12/hr for a slow one. Track your actual time on the first few tasks before treating the listed rate as your real hourly income.
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.
