What this actually is

You bring your specialist expertise to AI evaluation. The shape of the work varies but the pattern is the same: review outputs, rate quality, write prompts, flag errors. The platform title (FP&A Expert) reflects the rate band and the expertise required, not the day-to-day work.

How Mercor picks people

  1. Upload your CV and answer the role's written questions.
  2. Do a video interview with Mercor's AI interviewer. Most take about 20 minutes, in English unless the role says otherwise.
  3. Some roles add a skills test. A test you pass once counts for similar roles.
  4. The project team reviews your results and sends offers to the people it picks.

Before you start

  • Take Mercor's free practice interview first. It does not count toward any application.
  • Use Chrome on a computer with a camera and microphone, in a quiet room.
  • You can retake an official interview up to 3 times, but hiring teams see how many times you retook it.

Not every applicant gets an offer. Prepare well for the interview.

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.
