About the Role

Mercor is partnering with a leading AI lab to train frontier models on high-quality document generation data. We're hiring Office Document Evaluation Specialists to assess and compare model-generated office artifacts across Excel, Word, and PowerPoint formats. In this role you'll work with tasks that require producing an office output, open two candidate responses delivered as downloadable files, and judge which one better fulfills the prompt — shaping how the next generation of AI produces real-world business documents. We welcome detail-oriented professionals who live in the Microsoft Office suite every day - analysts, operations and finance professionals, consultants, administrative and executive support specialists, and anyone whose work depends on producing polished spreadsheets, documents, and presentations.

Requirement - Microsoft Office (desktop): All deliverables must be produced and inspected in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) on your own machine. Alternative office suites, open-source equivalents (e.g., Google Workspace, LibreOffice), and third-party apps that mimic Office functionality are not accepted.

What You'll Do

• Open and inspect downloaded office artifacts across Excel (.xlsx), Word (.docx), and PowerPoint (.pptx) formats

• Perform side-by-side pairwise comparisons of two candidate responses and select the stronger one

• Evaluate both the content and the rendering of each document - layout, formatting, visual structure, formulas, and overall presentation against the task requirements

• Grade AI-generated outputs against structured rubrics

• Provide written feedback the research team uses to improve model behavior

• Participate in onboarding office hours and calibration sessions
