AI Hiring Platform · San Francisco
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.
Events are one of Mercor's highest-leverage surfaces — the rooms where we deepen relationships with frontier labs and enterprise customers, run our own conferences, reach the experts and researchers we recruit, and bring our own team together. As our enterprise and human-data business ramps, we're doing far more of them — and we need someone to own that motion.
You own Mercor's events end to end — equal parts sharp planner and hands-on operator. You set the strategy and the bar, then make it happen: working with vendors, partnering across teams, and keeping every detail on track.
You'll decide which events are worth Mercor's time, what format makes each one land, and who's in the room. A junior events and admin bench is there to help you scale — not to run things for you.
The events strategy and annual calendar across four areas: enterprise and human-data GTM, customer-lab GTM, recruiting events, and internal events.
The creative POV and quality bar for every event — the difference between a forgettable dinner and the room people clear their calendar for.
Mercor's own conferences — APEX Summit and beyond, ramping toward ~4 a year — plus our presence at the conferences that matter (NeurIPS, ICML, and the like).
High-signal executive and customer programs: intimate dinners, partner roundtables, and gatherings timed to Mercor's biggest moments.
Recruiting events — from a university events program to hackathons — that help us reach and win elite talent.
Internal events, from smaller team moments up to company-wide offsites (individual team dinners excluded).
Hands-on execution: working directly with vendors, coordinating across marketing, recruiting, and workplace, and keeping every event organized and on track.
Targeting and follow-through with GTM, recruiting, and brand partners so events convert into relationships, pipeline, and talent — not just attendance.
Measurement and repeatable playbooks, so each program gets sharper over time.
6–8 years in events, field marketing, or experiential — ideally for technical, executive, or otherwise discerning audiences.
Deep event expertise and conviction — strong, defensible opinions on what makes an event land, and the confidence to push back on stakeholders.
An entrepreneurial executor — you spot where to add leverage and go do it, not an order-taker; high energy, and happy to roll up your sleeves on vendors, details, and run-of-show.
A structured thinker who turns ambiguity into clear plans and presents them well cross-functionally — across marketing, recruiting, and vendors.
Steady under ambiguity — you prefer a plan, but you don't break down when there isn't one.
Polished enough to represent Mercor to founders, lab leaders, and senior executives.
Experience with events in AI, human data, or the Bay Area startup scene.
Design taste — you can pick a menu, shape the aesthetic, and give sharp feedback on vendor graphics.
A client-facing, outgoing personality — comfortable being a presence at the event itself.
A network in the AI ecosystem — labs, research, founders.
Experience standing up an owned event or program from scratch.
