About the Role
The research teams behind the best-known AI models come to Mercor for investment banking judgment they can't generate on their own. Your standards and expertise become the rubric that frontier AI is graded against. This is a standing listing for investment bankers who want AI training and evaluation work, not a specific job opening. It stays open whether or not a matching project is running this week. New projects start on short notice, so instead of posting and pulling a listing each time, we keep one open per field and draw from it when one begins.
What You'll Do
- We match bankers in the network to projects like:
- Building a three-statement model and an LBO from a filing set, then writing the rubric a grader uses to mark a model's attempt wrong
- Reviewing model-generated comps and precedent transactions, and explaining where the multiple, the calendarization, or the peer set is off
- Grading model-drafted CIM and pitch material against what an MD would send, and writing the reasoning behind each deduction
- Past rates have run $100 to $130 an hour, set per project by scope and depth.
- Apply here with your resume and confirm where you work from, then take a short AI interview, about 20 minutes total.
- We verify your background and add you to the investment banking pool.
- When a project needs investment banking expertise, we invite matching people from the pool to that specific listing. It names the rate, the hours, and the client, and any hiring decision is made there.
You're a Good Fit If You
- Professional experience in financial modeling, valuation, or deal execution
- Clear written communication, since most of the work involves explaining your reasoning
- Comfort with ambiguous tasks, and willingness to flag unclear instructions
- Where people in this pool have worked
- The most common backgrounds, though the pool is broader than this:
- Bulge bracket and elite boutique advisory: M&A, leveraged finance, restructuring, ECM/DCM
- Buy-side seats built on banking training: private equity, growth equity, private credit, distressed
- Corporate development and in-house M&A
