Content Designer
Listing checked October 19, 2026 · pay as published by Mercor
Overview
Mercor needs a Content Designer to judge paired samples of AI-written in-product copy, the short lines people skim instead of read. Your job is to weigh voice, tone, and fit with an established editorial standard, then pick the stronger sample and note the reason in one sentence. Candidates pass a calibration gate before touching live data, so consistency matters from the start. The pilot runs five hours a day across five business days and can grow into a month-to-month engagement.
What You'll Do6
- 1Compare matched pairs of AI-generated product strings against the company's voice and tone guidance.
- 2Decide which sample in each pair works better for its surface, whether that is a button label, tooltip, empty state, or notification.
- 3Write a one-line justification that names the specific reason for your pick.
- 4Apply the required tags to every judgment so the team can sort and analyze results.
- 5Complete the calibration round and reach the agreement threshold before live data work begins.
- 6Hold your scoring steady across many comparisons within a shift.
Requirements5
- 1Experience setting voice and tone for in-product writing at a major tech or consumer product company.
- 2Background rating, editing, or rewriting AI-generated text against a written editorial standard.
- 3Comfort judging short strings where one word shifts the whole meaning.
- 4Skill at explaining a judgment in a single line.
- 5Availability for five hours a day across five business days for the pilot.
Who Should Apply
A content designer or product writer who has owned voice and tone at a large tech or consumer brand and has graded AI output against a written standard. You read microcopy for the exact word that changes the meaning and can defend a pick in one line.
Salary Insight
The posting lists a flat $85 one-time payment, so treat this as a fixed fee for the pilot rather than an hourly rate. Worth asking how the month-to-month extension gets priced once the first five days wrap.
