Corporate Strategy Expert

Role Overview

• Mercor is seeking senior corporate strategy professionals to build evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in Fortune 500 enterprise strategic planning contexts.

• The workflows are calibrated to the organizational complexity, competitive stakes, and long-term capital implications of Fortune 500 and large public company strategic decisions.

• Contributors design enterprise strategy scenarios, draft reference outputs, and write rubrics that capture how senior F500 strategy leaders think.

Key Responsibilities

• Construct enterprise strategy scenarios spanning multi-year corporate planning, multi-stakeholder board-level decision-making, and complex M&A, divestiture, or portfolio reallocation cycles at F500 accounts.

• Build tasks across F500 corporate development, competitive strategy and market analysis, business unit portfolio strategy, capital allocation, and organizational strategy/restructuring.

• Develop strategic planning scenarios involving tools such as enterprise financial modeling platforms, competitive intelligence systems, scenario-planning frameworks, and board-reporting/presentation platforms in F500 stacks.

• Apply enterprise strategy methodologies (Porter's Five Forces, McKinsey 7-S, scenario planning, capital allocation frameworks, growth-share matrices) and produce reference strategic plans, board presentations, and executive-level strategic narratives.

• Author rubrics that distinguish authentic enterprise strategic judgment from generic framework or MBA-case-study-level recall.

Ideal Qualifications

• 5+ years working in corporate strategy, corporate development, or strategic planning at a Fortune 500 company or top-tier strategy consulting firm (McKinsey, BCG, Bain) serving F500 clients.

• Direct ownership of F500-scale strategic initiatives, M&A/divestiture processes, or board-level strategic recommendations.

• Fluency in enterprise strategy frameworks and analytical tooling, plus understanding of how F500 board governance, capital markets expectations, and cross-functional executive alignment actually work.

• Prior rubric, strategy-case curriculum, or board-deck/documentation authorship is a plus.

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
