Consulting Expert

Role Overview

Mercor is partnering with a leading AI lab to engage experienced management consulting professionals on a project basis. Contractors will translate real-world consulting workflows into clear tasks, datasets, and evaluation criteria to help improve AI systems’ reasoning and problem-solving capabilities. The work is well-suited for experts who can contribute independently and collaborate asynchronously.

Key Responsibilities

• Break down end-to-end consulting workflows (problem structuring → analysis → synthesis) into task specifications and evaluation rubrics
• Review, edit, and benchmark AI-generated outputs such as market analyses, strategy decks, operating models, and written recommendations
• Create high-quality reference examples (issue trees, analyses, slides) that reflect real consulting standards
• Identify gaps, errors, and weak assumptions in AI outputs; document failure modes and improvement guidelines
• Collaborate asynchronously with researchers and other contractors using shared documents and clear written feedback

Ideal Qualifications

• 2+ years of consulting experience at a top-tier management consulting firm or well-regarded boutique
• Strong familiarity with core consulting workflows, including problem definition, hypothesis-driven analysis, and executive-level synthesis
• Excellent collaboration, written communication, and structured-thinking skills
• Advanced PowerPoint and Excel; comfort with market sizing, financial/operating analysis, and qualitative research

More About the Opportunity

• Expected commitment: 10+ hours/week
• Deliverables-driven work with clear success criteria; support team available for inquiries and best-practice guidance

Application Process

• Submit a brief resume or LinkedIn profile highlighting consulting background and functional expertise
• Complete a short skills questionnaire; a time-boxed exercise may be used to scope fit
