Senior Product Manager

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—11% week-over-week in July, 18% in August, and 19% in September. The team is small, profitable, and growing as fast as we can hire exceptional people.

About the Role

As a Senior Product Manager at Mercor, you’ll own one of the most critical scopes in the company. You’ll operate with extreme independence, solving problems that have no playbook and driving initiatives that shape how the world’s leading AI labs source talent and train frontier models.

You’ll collaborate directly with engineering and leadership, making product decisions that tie directly to strategy, business outcomes, and user needs. You’ll balance visionary bets with hard metrics, and you’ll move seamlessly between strategic direction-setting and hands-on execution.

This role is best for someone who thrives on ambiguity, embraces ownership, and adds massive leverage to both leadership and engineering teams.

What You’ll Do

• Drive product strategy, execution, and outcomes within your scope.

• Translate high-level company goals and ambiguous business contexts into concrete product roadmaps.

• Collaborate directly with engineers, writing specs, reasoning about tradeoffs, and making decisions that unblock progress.

• Talk to users frequently, synthesize their needs, and balance user input against strategic priorities.

• Define and own metrics while ensuring long-term vision isn’t constrained by short-term data.

• Operate independently, owning end-to-end outcomes without needing established processes or policy frameworks.

What We’re Looking For

• High Ownership: You take full accountability for outcomes, not just outputs.

• Independence: Able to self-direct in ambiguous contexts, creating clarity for others.

• Technical Fluency: Comfortable collaborating with engineers and diving into product details.

• Strategic Vision: Strong ability to connect user needs and business context to long-term product direction.

• User-Centric Judgment: Talks to users frequently, but knows when to inference beyond what’s said and when to say no.

• Balance of Metrics & Vision: Equally comfortable running rigorous experiments and pushing forward visionary bets.

• Leverage: Your work magnifies the impact of engineering and leadership teams.
