Job Summary

About Mercor

Mercors 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 cant be captured in code alone. Today more than 30000 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. Youll 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.

About the Role

Events are one of Mercors highest-leverage surfaces: the rooms where we build relationships with frontier labs and enterprise customers host our own conferences reach the experts we recruit and bring our team together. Were doing far more of them and we need someone to own the motion.

Youll own Mercors events end to end part strategist part operator. You set the strategy and the quality bar then make it happen: deciding which events are worth our time what format makes each one land and whos in the room. A junior events and admin team is there to help you scale not to run things for you.

What Youll Own

  • The events strategy and annual calendar across four areas: enterprise and human-data GTM customer/lab GTM recruiting and internal.

  • The creative point of view and quality bar for every event the difference between a forgettable dinner and the room people clear their calendar for.

  • Our own conferences plus Mercors presence at the ones that matter (NeurIPS ICML and the like).

  • High-signal executive and customer programs: intimate dinners partner roundtables and gatherings timed to our biggest moments.

  • Recruiting events from a university program to hackathons that help us reach and win elite talent.

  • Internal events from team moments up to company-wide offsites.

  • Hands-on execution: managing vendors coordinating across marketing recruiting and workplace and keeping every detail on track.

  • Follow-through with GTM and recruiting partners so events produce relationships pipeline and talent not just attendance.

  • Measurement and repeatable playbooks so every program gets sharper over time.

What Were Looking For

  • 68 years in events field marketing or experiential ideally for technical executive or otherwise discerning audiences.

  • Deep expertise and conviction: strong defensible opinions on what makes an event land and the confidence to push back on stakeholders.

  • An entrepreneurial executor who finds the leverage and goes after it not an order-taker. High energy hands-on with vendors details and run-of-show.

  • A structured thinker who turns ambiguity into clear plans and presents them well across marketing recruiting and vendors.

  • Steady under ambiguity: you prefer a plan but you dont stall without one.

  • Polished enough to represent Mercor to founders lab leaders and senior executives.

Nice to Haves

  • Events experience in AI human data or the Bay Area startup scene.

  • Design taste: you can shape an aesthetic pick a menu and give sharp feedback on vendor work.

  • A client-facing outgoing presence comfortable in the room not just behind it.

  • A network in the AI ecosystem: labs researchers founders.

  • Youve stood up an owned event or program from scratch.
