About the role

What You'll Do

  • Unblock Revenue: Partner with delivery teams to identify, prioritize, and manage the blockers standing between us and our revenue potential. Support the blocker process end-to-end — from surfacing issues to driving them to resolution with named owners and dates.
  • Operationalize Plans: Work with Finance to translate forecasts and growth levers into operational reality. Connect the financial plan to what teams are actually executing against, and flag gaps early.
  • Drive Product Velocity: Translate delivery blockers into clear, well-scoped product requirements, and program manage product teams to ensure timely delivery. You're accountable for making sure the most commercially important work ships on time.
  • Run the Operating Cadence: Support the company's business review rhythm — monthly business reviews, weekly execution check-ins, and the dashboards and trackers that keep leadership informed and teams accountable.
  • Shape Company Strategy: Work on initiatives that help shape and improve Mercor’s market positioning across offerings, product functionality, business lines, and talent.
  • Special Projects: Take on a wide range of high-priority projects across GTM, Finance, and Operations as the business needs.

What We're Looking For

  • 1-4 years of experience in top-tier consulting, business operations, strategic finance, banking / private equity, or as a founder.
  • A degree from a top school.
  • Proficiency with data analytics and BI tools; you should be comfortable pulling and pressure-testing your own numbers.
  • Strong ability to partner with cross-functional stakeholders: this role requires engaging constructively with the entire business, from delivery teams to product to leadership.
  • Experience constructing metrics, KPIs, operating rhythms, and the processes that make organizations run well.
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity and driving outcomes without formal authority.

Bonus Points

  • Experience at a high-growth startup or in a role where you built operating cadences from scratch.
  • Familiarity with program management tooling (e.g., Linear) and Gantt-based roadmapping.

Benefits

  • $15K relocation bonus (for moving to the Bay Area)
  • $10K housing bonus (if you live within 0.5 miles of our office)
  • $1.5K monthly stipend for meals
  • Free Equinox membership
  • Monthly laundry reimbursement
  • Monthly personal wellness reimbursement
  • Health, Dental, Vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
