FP&A Expert

Role Overview

• Mercor is hiring experienced FP&A professionals to build and review evaluation tasks for AI agents.

• Each task is set in a realistic simulated company, with the budgets, forecasts, models, emails and business apps a finance team really uses.

• You make sure each task reads like a real request, the reference answer holds up against the source data, and the grading rubric checks what a senior FP&A lead would check.

Key Responsibilities

• Refine AI-drafted task prompts so they read like a real request from a CFO or business partner, without giving the answer away.

• Check reference models and outputs against the world's files and app records, and correct what is wrong.

• Write and tighten grading rubrics: pass/fail criteria with exact values, plus the judgment calls a generalist would miss.

• Read how leading AI models attempt each task and confirm they fail for fair, defensible reasons.

• Work across annual budgeting and long-range planning, rolling, revenue, cash-flow and headcount forecasts, variance analysis and KPI reporting, board and investor reporting, three-statement and scenario modeling, and business partnering on pricing and cost decisions.

Ideal Qualifications

• 3+ years of hands-on FP&A experience (Analyst, Senior Analyst, Manager or above). Time in the field matters more than title.

• Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, economics or a related field.

• Ownership of budgeting or forecasting cycles, strong driver-based and scenario modeling, and fluency in a planning tool such as Anaplan, Adaptive or Planful.

• CFA, MBA or CPA is a plus, as is prior experience on a Mercor RL project.

Details

• Pay: $100/hour.

• You start with a short onboarding session and a paid skills assessment. Once you pass, you can claim your first task right away.

• Strong performers can move into reviewer and world lead roles.

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

Contract and Payment Terms

• This is a fully remote role that can be completed on your own schedule.
• Projects can be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance.
• Your work at Mercor will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.
• Payments are weekly on Stripe or Wise based on services rendered.
