About Mercor
Mercor is training models that predict how well someone will perform on a job better than a human can. We use our platform to source, vet, and onboard expert contractors who help train AI models in a wide variety of domains. Our technology is so effective it’s used by all of the top 5 AI labs.
We scaled from $1-500M in revenue run rate in the last 17 months, making us the fastest growing company in the world. Our growth is accelerating. We averaged 11% week over week growth in July, 18% WoW growth in August, and 19% WoW growth in September. The team is small and we remain profitable because we can’t hire great people as quickly as revenue is growing.
About the Role
As a Growth Associate, you’ll connect leading AI companies with the specialized experts they need—from engineers to medical professionals—to train and evaluate cutting-edge models. Your work will directly drive millions in revenue and shape the future of AI. Our team works 6 days per week (5 days in-office in SF).

Collaborate Across Teams: Partner with Project Managers, Product, and Engineering to improve sourcing workflows and deliver high-quality results.
Drive Growth: Your recruiting and sourcing efforts will be a core driver of Mercor’s rapid expansion.
