About Mercor

Mercor is defining the future of work. We partner with leading AI labs and enterprises to provide the human intelligence essential to AI development. Our vast talent network trains frontier AI models in the same way teachers teach students: by sharing knowledge, experience, and context that can't be captured in code alone. Today, more than 30,000 experts in our network collectively earn over $2 million a day.

Mercor is creating a new category of work where expertise powers AI advancement. Achieving this requires an ambitious, fast-paced and deeply committed team. You’ll work alongside researchers, operators, and AI companies at the forefront of shaping the systems that are redefining society. Mercor is a profitable Series C company valued at $10 billion. We work in-person five days a week in our San Francisco, NYC, or London offices.

What You'll Do

Support Workplace Operations

• Help keep the office running day-to-day; supplies, logistics, and making sure things are organized and in order

• Be a go-to resource for in-office needs and help resolve issues quickly as they come up

• Assist with vendor coordination and facilities tasks as needed

Assist with Event Coordination

• Help plan and execute team events — from logistics and timelines to day‑of execution

• Assist with onsite logistics for candidate interviews

• Help keep the pipeline organized and moving when the team needs extra bandwidth

HR & People Ops Support

• Assist with HR administrative tasks including onboarding logistics and people operations

• Help keep documentation and processes organized as the team scales

General Admin & Fill-In Support

• Back up other admin and ops team members when they're out of office or overloaded

• Handle ad‑hoc tasks across the team — you're the person who figures things out when something pops up

• Support documentation, templates, and process work as needed

What We're Looking For

• Early‑career candidate; new grads strongly encouraged to apply

• High energy and a genuinely positive attitude that makes the team around you better

• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail

• Comfortable managing multiple things at once and switching contexts quickly

• Events or coordination experience a plus; whether professional, academic, or extracurricular (sorority event planning, team coordination, etc. all count)

• Clear, concise communicator (written and verbal)

• Present, available, and eager to learn in a fast‑paced environment

• Based in San Francisco or ready to relocate immediately (start date is asap)
