What the work is

Role Overview

  • Mercor is seeking senior legal professionals to build evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in Fortune 500 legal contexts.

  • The workflows are calibrated to the regulatory complexity, transaction scale, and risk posture of Fortune 500 and large public companies.

  • Contributors design realistic enterprise legal scenarios, draft model-grade reference work, and write rubrics that distinguish strong legal reasoning from surface-level output.

Key Responsibilities

  • Construct enterprise legal scenarios across in-house counsel, regulatory, transactional, and litigation work for F500-scale organizations.

  • Draft and review materials grounded in enterprise compliance regimes (FCPA, SOX, GDPR, HIPAA, sector-specific regulation in banking, healthcare, pharma, and insurance).

  • Build tasks around enterprise contracting at material scale (MSAs, SOWs, DPAs, licensing) and M&A diligence for F500 transactions.

  • Develop ERM and COSO-aligned risk scenarios, board-level reporting, and regulated-industry investigations.

  • Author detailed, criterion-referenced rubrics that capture the judgment a senior F500 lawyer would apply.

Ideal Qualifications

  • 2+ years as in-house counsel at a Fortune 500 or large public company, or as a partner / senior associate at an AmLaw 100 firm representing F500 clients.

  • Deep exposure to one or more enterprise practice areas: M&A, securities, regulatory, employment, IP, privacy, or commercial contracting at F500 scale.

  • Familiarity with CLM platforms (Ironclad, Agiloft, Icertis) and enterprise GRC tooling.

  • JD with active bar admission. Prior rubric, exam, or training-content authorship is a plus.

Compensation Note

  • Hourly Pay: $110 to $150 per hour, set by Mercor based on demonstrated expertise.

  • Minimum Commitment: 20 hours per week.

  • Onboarding via the Mercor Rubric Academy, a paid program that calibrates contributors to the quality bar before live work.

  • Advancement: strong contributors move into reviewer, lead, and domain SME roles with elevated rates.
