Insurance Expert

Role Overview

Mercor is collaborating with a leading AI lab to engage experienced insurance professionals across all areas of practice — including underwriting, claims, actuarial, risk management, brokerage, compliance, reinsurance, and policy/product. Contributors help build AI systems that reason about real insurance work by translating everyday insurance workflows, judgments, and decision-making into structured, high-quality training data.

Key Responsibilities

• Design realistic insurance scenarios and tasks drawn from your day-to-day work (e.g., risk assessment and underwriting decisions, claims adjudication, policy interpretation, coverage analysis, actuarial pricing/reserving, regulatory compliance reviews)
• Review and compare AI-generated insurance outputs for accuracy, sound professional judgment, and regulatory/standards compliance
• Create structured examples that reflect how insurance professionals actually reason through problems
• Provide clear written feedback that improves how AI performs insurance tasks
• Collaborate asynchronously with the research team

Ideal Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional experience in insurance (underwriting, claims, actuarial, risk management, brokerage, compliance, or a related area; carrier, broker/agency, reinsurer, or advisory)
• A professional credential such as CPCU, ARM, AINS, CLU, AIC, ACAS/FCAS or ASA/FSA (actuarial), or a state adjuster/broker license is preferred
• Bachelor's degree in a related field
• Comfortable with common industry tools and systems (e.g., policy administration, claims, and rating platforms, Excel)
• Strong written communication and attention to detail

More About the Opportunity

• Open to all insurance specialties — contribute where your expertise is strongest
• Work spans task design, evaluation, and structured feedback on AI insurance outputs
• Strong contributors advance into reviewer, lead, and domain-expert roles

Application Process

• Selected applicants may complete a brief sample task
• Follow-up typically provided within a few days
