About this role
The research teams behind the best-known AI models come to Mercor for management consulting judgment they can't generate on their own. Your standards and expertise become the rubric that frontier AI is graded against.
This is a standing listing for consultants who want AI training and evaluation work, not a specific job opening. It stays open whether or not a matching project is running this week.
New projects start on short notice, so instead of posting and pulling a listing each time, we keep one open per field and draw from it when one begins.
What the work looks like
We match consultants in the network to projects like
- Writing a case prompt from an engagement you ran, with the client situation, the data, and the constraint, plus the reference answer a model's attempt gets graded against
- Grading model-built market sizings and profitability analyses: whether the segmentation is sensible, whether the driver tree holds, whether the recommendation follows from the numbers
- Flagging where a model produces a clean-looking answer that would not survive a partner review or a client steering committee
Past rates have run $90 to $120 an hour, set per project by scope and depth.
What we're looking for
- Professional experience in strategy, operations, or transformation consulting
- Clear written communication, since most of the work involves explaining your reasoning
- Comfort with ambiguous tasks, and willingness to flag unclear instructions
