Overview
Mercor’s FP&A experts create and assess realistic finance tasks for AI agents, using simulated companies and the budgets, forecasts, models, emails, and business apps that finance teams rely on. You’ll shape CFO- or business-partner-style requests, verify model outputs against source data, and build rubrics that reflect senior FP&A judgment. The work is remote, with US candidates preferred and applicants worldwide welcome. After onboarding and a paid skills assessment, you can claim a task; strong performers may advance to reviewer or world lead roles.
What You'll Do7
- Edit AI-drafted prompts so they sound like real requests from a CFO or business partner without revealing the answer.
- Validate reference models and outputs against source files and app records, then fix errors.
- Create and refine grading rubrics with exact pass/fail values and judgment criteria that generalists might overlook.
- Review how leading AI models approach each task and confirm that any failure reflects a fair, defensible reason.
- Build and assess tasks covering annual budgets, long-range plans, rolling forecasts, revenue, cash flow, and headcount.
- Work with variance analysis, KPI reporting, board and investor reporting, three-statement models, and scenario models.
- Cover business-partner decisions involving pricing and costs.
Requirements5
- At least 3 years of hands-on FP&A experience as an Analyst, Senior Analyst, Manager, or in a more senior role; experience matters more than title.
- Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a related field.
- Experience owning budgeting or forecasting cycles.
- Strong driver-based and scenario modeling skills.
- Fluency with a financial planning tool such as Anaplan, Adaptive, or Planful.
Preferred Qualifications2
- CFA, MBA, or CPA
- Prior experience on a Mercor RL project
Who Should Apply
