About the role
- This is a role for someone who wants to be close to the business.
- Mercor is still early, and many of the development programs and talent practices we need do not exist yet.
- We're looking for someone who has built from 0 to 1 before and is excited to do it again.
Responsibilities
- Partner directly with Engineering and Product leaders on talent, organizational and people decisions.
- Build development programs from 0 to 1, from identifying the problem through design, launch, adoption and iteration.
- Partner with leaders on organizational design, role clarity, succession planning and talent movement as teams scale.
- Run talent and performance processes for EPD while keeping the focus on judgment and outcomes rather than process for its own sake.
- Move quickly between strategic questions and hands-on execution. You should be equally comfortable advising a senior leader and building the first version of something yourself.
Requirements
- 0→1 builder: You have personally built and launched development, talent or manager programs where little or no infrastructure existed before.
- Excellent judgment: You can work through complex people situations, identify what actually matters and make clear recommendations without relying on a playbook for every answer.
