Role Overview

Mercor is seeking senior FP&A professionals to build evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in financial planning, forecasting, and business analysis contexts.
The workflows are calibrated to the forecasting complexity, decision stakes, and scope of major corporate financial planning functions.
This role builds worlds on two tracks: a US track (US GAAP-based reporting and corporate finance conventions) and an International track (IFRS-based reporting and international corporate finance conventions). Experts qualified in either or both tracks are encouraged to apply.
Contributors design FP&A scenarios, draft reference outputs, and write rubrics that capture how senior FP&A leaders think.

Key Responsibilities

Construct FP&A scenarios spanning budgeting and forecasting cycles, variance analysis and business partnering, and capital allocation and strategic planning decisions.
Build tasks across financial planning and forecasting, variance analysis and reporting, business partnering, capital budgeting and investment analysis, and financial modeling.
Develop scenarios involving tools such as FP&A platforms (Anaplan, Adaptive Insights, Planful), BI tools (Tableau, Power BI), and ERP systems used at large companies.
Apply FP&A methodologies (driver-based forecasting, variance analysis, scenario and sensitivity modeling) to the reporting basis a world targets (US GAAP-based; IFRS-based), and produce reference financial models, forecast decks, variance reports, and business case analyses.
Author rubrics that distinguish authentic FP&A judgment from generic textbook or spreadsheet-template-level work.

Ideal Qualifications

5+ years working as an FP&A leader, Director of FP&A, or CFO at a major company.
Direct ownership of budgeting cycles, forecasting models, or capital allocation decisions.
Fluency in FP&A tooling, plus understanding of corporate finance and financial modeling best practices.
A recognized professional credential is a plus (CFA, MBA, or CPA); prior rubric or training authorship is a plus.
