Management Consulting Expert

1. Role Overview

Mercor is partnering with a leading AI research organization to engage experienced management consultants for a project focused on evaluating how well AI systems perform real-world consulting work. Rather than producing deliverables yourself, you will define what excellent work looks like: designing task-specific grading criteria and scoring completed work samples with rigorous, well-reasoned written justifications.

2. Key Responsibilities

• Design precise, task-specific grading criteria for real-world consulting deliverables (market analyses, strategy recommendations, financial models, client-ready slide decks, and implementation roadmaps)

• Score AI-generated and human work samples against those criteria, with detailed written justifications for every score

• Apply consistent, evidence-based judgment so that scores are reproducible and defensible

• Incorporate structured feedback from senior reviewers and iterate quickly on your work

3. Ideal Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional management consulting experience

• Background at a top-tier strategy or management consulting firm (e.g., McKinsey, Bain, BCG, or equivalent)

• Deep fluency in structured problem solving, market sizing, financial modeling and business-case building, and slide-based executive communication

• Exceptionally strong written communication

• Detail-oriented, consistent, and comfortable having your judgment reviewed and calibrated against peers

• Prior experience with AI training, evaluation, or human-data projects is a strong plus

4. Application Process

• Submit your resume or relevant professional background to get started

• Qualified applicants may be asked to complete a brief assessment or submit additional information
