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% in August, and 19% in September. The team is small, we remain profitable, and we can't hire exceptional people as quickly as revenue is growing.

We're looking for a Community Manager to design, launch, and scale Mercor's community worldwide. You'll build an integrated IRL + online events program that spans networking events, hackathons, and large-scale summits. This role is highly cross-functional and external-facing, ideal for a builder who thrives at the intersection of operations, community, and high-caliber experiences.
