Revenue Planning Expert

Mercor is recruiting UK-based Revenue Planning Experts for a research project with a leading frontier AI lab.

We are seeking experienced analysts with 3+ years in FP&A, revenue analytics, commercial finance, or business intelligence, with advanced spreadsheet modeling and data reconciliation skills.

Strong candidates can reconcile data across finance, sales, and campaign systems, and carefully distinguish booked, billed, recognized, and collected revenue.

Ideal candidates have experience at one or more of the following types of business:

• Media or ad-tech
• Digital publishers
• Agency finance teams
• E-commerce
• Subscription businesses
• Or another marketplace or commercial analytics function

Ideal candidates have experience with one or more of the following:

• Revenue and gross-margin forecasting
• Budget-versus-actual reporting and variance bridges
• Advanced Excel and spreadsheet modeling
• Reconciling data across finance, sales, and campaign systems
• Profitability, cost-to-serve, and trend analysis
• Documenting assumptions and catching data anomalies before they reach leadership

You'll help create, review, and evaluate high-quality revenue planning scenarios, leveraging your experience in forecasting, variance analysis, and commercial reporting.

Strong candidates define margin and cost categories consistently and can turn a variance analysis into a simple explanation of what happened, why, and what to do next.
