About the role

About Mercor

Mercor's mission is to organize human intelligence to power the AI economy. We're a leading AI data company, building the layer between human expertise and frontier models. Millions of domain experts on the platform are paid over $4 million per day to train frontier AI models. Mercor's APEX benchmark family measures AI's real-world impact on professional work. Mercor Enterprise brings this same infrastructure to Fortune 500 companies: helping companies capture how their best people actually work, translating that expertise directly back into agents.

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.

About the Role

We are building the definitive talent infrastructure for top-tier enterprises.

What You Bring

  • 7-12+ years of quota-carrying sales experience across tech sales or staffing, RPO, MSP, or contingent workforce solutions
  • Documented history of closing $5M-$10M+ ACV deals with Fortune 500 accounts
  • Bias toward speed: default urgency in everything
  • Exceptional executive presence and consultative selling ability
  • Deep understanding of VMS platforms (SAP Fieldglass, Beeline, Coupa), MSP models, and workforce compliance is a plus
  • Existing relationships with senior TA, HR, and Procurement leaders at target accounts
  • Bachelor's degree required; MBA or relevant certifications (CCWP, SIA) a plus
