Product Manager

Mercor's mission is to organize human intelligence to power the AI economy. We partner with leading AI labs and enterprises to provide the human intelligence essential to AI development. Our vast talent network trains frontier AI models in the same way teachers teach students: by sharing knowledge, experience, and context that can't be captured in code alone. Today, more than 30,000 experts in our network collectively earn over $3 million a day.

Mercor is creating a new category of work where expertise powers AI advancement. Achieving this requires an ambitious, fast-paced and deeply committed team. You’ll work alongside researchers, operators, and AI companies at the forefront of shaping the systems that are redefining society. Mercor is a profitable Series C company valued at $10 billion. We work in-person five days a week in our San Francisco, NYC, or London offices.

As a Product Manager, you'll build products that help the world's leading AI labs and enterprises transform human expertise into better AI models.

You'll own a major product area with significant autonomy, working directly with engineering and leadership to turn ambiguous problems into shipped products. You'll balance long-term strategy with rapid execution, making decisions that directly shape the company's trajectory and bottom line.
