Overview
Mercor connects frontier AI research teams with professionals who can supply investment judgment that models cannot produce alone. This standing listing gathers asset and wealth managers for part-time AI training and evaluation projects, and it remains open even when no project is active. Assignments can involve writing an investment case from your own mandate or book, then supplying the reference answer used to grade a model's attempt. You may also review portfolio construction, asset allocation, tax strategy, factor exposures, benchmark choice, withdrawal sequencing, and attribution. Projects appear on short notice, so the pool stays open and Mercor invites matching experts when a client need arrives.
What You'll Do6
- Draft investment cases or client scenarios from your own mandate or book, including thesis, constraints, risk budget, and the reference answer for grading model output.
- Assess model-generated portfolio construction, asset allocation, and tax strategy for intended factor exposures, suitable benchmark selection, withdrawal sequencing, and attribution quality.
- Identify recommendations that look reasonable in theory but would violate a real mandate or fail a client because of liquidity, concentration limits, drawdown tolerance, or time horizon.
- Explain your reasoning in writing so researchers can turn your judgment into evaluation rubrics.
- Flag unclear instructions or ambiguous task details instead of guessing.
- Apply buy-side or advisory experience to judge whether a model's answer meets professional investment standards.
Requirements6
- Professional background in portfolio management, buy-side research, multi-asset allocation, financial planning, or private client advisory.
- Direct experience making investment calls, with recent work that lets you explain tradeoffs behind them.
- Strong written communication for detailed reasoning and rubric feedback.
- Comfort working with ambiguous tasks and incomplete instructions.
- Willingness to question unclear project guidance.
- Background from a long-only asset manager, mutual fund complex, hedge fund, multi-strategy platform, pension, endowment, sovereign allocator, private bank, wirehouse wealth management, RIA, multi-family office, trust, estate, or fiduciary practice.
Who Should Apply
The candidate who fits this pool has professional experience in portfolio management, buy-side research, multi-asset allocation, financial planning, or private client advisory, and can point to investment calls they made themselves. You should explain in writing the thesis, constraints, risk budget, benchmark choice, and withdrawal sequencing behind those calls. People from asset managers, hedge funds, pensions, endowments, sovereign funds, private banks, RIAs, multi-family offices, and trust or fiduciary practices match this work well. The role is less suitable if your background centers on sales, operations, compliance, or product marketing without direct investment decision-making. Candidates score low when their resume lists firm names but not the specific calls, portfolios, or mandates they handled, or when they cannot explain recent tradeoffs in writing, and a common gap is reluctance to flag ambiguous instructions.
Salary Insight
Comparable investment management projects post at $100 to $130 per hour. Mercor sets each project's rate from scope and depth, so a complex grading assignment with a larger reference answer can reach the top of that band. The range fits experienced buy-side or advisory professionals who can turn portfolio judgment into written evaluation criteria. A specific project listing names the rate before any work starts.
