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.
