About the Role
Mercor is building realistic, high-fidelity simulated environments to evaluate and train AI models on real-world procurement workflows for a leading spend-management technology company. We're looking for senior procurement and vendor-management professionals to author and validate tasks that mirror how procurement teams actually vet new vendors and review contract renewals. Review simulated new-vendor intake requests, benchmarking price and contract terms against realistic company reference data
What You'll Do
Review simulated new-vendor intake requests, benchmarking price and contract terms against realistic company reference data
Consolidate multi-lens reviews (finance, legal, security, IT) into a well-reasoned final approval recommendation
Author step-level rubrics and golden responses that capture how an experienced procurement lead would judge a request or renewal
Audit simulated company environments for realism and unintended contradictions before tasks open
You're a Good Fit If You
8+ years of professional experience in procurement, spend operations, or vendor management, with hands-on experience running real vendor requests and renewals
Sourced from mature procurement functions at companies with formal vendor-review processes
Strong written communication skills; comfortable producing structured, rubric-style feedback
