Job summary

Mercor is seeking senior FP&A professionals to build evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in financial planning, forecasting, and business analysis contexts.

The roles span two tracks—US GAAP-based reporting and IFRS-based conventions—with experts qualified in either or both tracks encouraged to apply. Contributors design scenarios, draft reference outputs, and write rubrics capturing senior FP&A judgment.

Qualifications

• 5+ years working as an FP&A leader, Director of FP&A, or CFO at a major company.
• Direct ownership of budgeting cycles, forecasting models, or capital allocation decisions.
• Fluency in FP&A tooling, plus understanding of corporate finance and financial modeling best practices.
• A recognized professional credential is a plus (CFA, MBA, or CPA); prior rubric or training authorship is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Construct FP&A scenarios spanning budgeting and forecasting cycles, variance analysis and business partnering, and capital allocation and strategic planning decisions.
• Build tasks across financial planning and forecasting, variance analysis and reporting, business partnering, capital budgeting and investment analysis, and financial modeling.
• Develop scenarios involving tools such as FP&A platforms (Anaplan, Adaptive Insights, Planful), BI tools (Tableau, Power BI), and ERP systems used at large companies.
• Apply FP&A methodologies (driver-based forecasting, variance analysis, scenario and sensitivity modeling) to the reporting basis a world targets (US GAAP-based; IFRS-based), and produce reference financial models, forecast decks, variance reports, and business case analyses.
• Author rubrics that distinguish authentic FP&A judgment from generic textbook or spreadsheet-template-level work.
