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).

  • Source & Recruit Experts: Use platforms like LinkedIn Recruiter and Sales Navigator to find, vet, and recruit top professionals across multiple industries.

  • Scale Sourcing Channels: Discover and experiment with new sourcing channels to expand reach and attract diverse talent.

  • Build Relationships: Engage and maintain strong connections with experts to ensure long-term collaboration.

  • Manage Talent Pipelines: Oversee multiple recruiting and sourcing pipelines to deliver qualified experts at scale.

  • 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.

What We’re Looking For

  • 1-2 years of prior experience in lead generation, outbound sales, or recruiting

  • Strong familiarity with LinkedIn Recruiter / Sales Navigator and other sourcing tools

  • Comfortable driving high conversion rates and managing funnels effectively

  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.

  • A track record of thriving in fast-paced, results-driven environments (startups, consulting, finance, or similar).

  • A motivated, goal-oriented mindset with the resilience to meet ambitious targets.

Compensation

  • Quarterly performance bonus

  • Generous equity grant vested over 4 years

  • Comprehensive benefits package

  • A $20K relocation bonus (if moving to the Bay Area)

  • A $10K housing bonus (if you live within 0.5 miles of our office)
