Role Overview
Mercor is partnering with leading AI labs to engage experienced regulatory compliance and risk management professionals — compliance officers, risk managers, internal auditors, and regulatory affairs specialists — to improve AI systems' reasoning around regulatory frameworks, enterprise risk, and compliance program design.

- Provide structured feedback on AI accuracy in areas such as regulatory standards (FINRA, OCC, FFIEC, FDA, SEC, GDPR, HIPAA), risk frameworks (COSO, ISO 31000), and industry-specific compliance terminology
- Collaborate asynchronously with research teams to refine evaluation frameworks for compliance and risk AI
