FP&A Expert

AI Training & Evaluation • Independent Contractor • Remote • Weekly Payouts

Role Overview

• Mercor is seeking senior FP&A professionals to build evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in financial planning, forecasting, and business analysis contexts.

• The workflows are calibrated to the forecasting complexity, decision stakes, and scope of major corporate financial planning functions.

• This role builds worlds on two tracks: a US track (US GAAP-based reporting and corporate finance conventions) and an International track (IFRS-based reporting and international corporate finance conventions). Experts qualified in either or both tracks are encouraged to apply.

• Contributors design FP&A scenarios, draft reference outputs, and write rubrics that capture how senior FP&A leaders think.

Key Responsibilities

• Construct FP&A scenarios spanning budgeting and forecasting cycles, variance analysis and business partnering, and capital allocation and strategic planning decisions.

• Build tasks across financial planning and forecasting, variance analysis and reporting, business partnering, capital budgeting and investment analysis, and financial modeling.

• Develop scenarios involving tools such as FP&A platforms (Anaplan, Adaptive Insights, Planful), BI tools (Tableau, Power BI), and ERP systems used at large companies.

• Apply FP&A methodologies (driver-based forecasting, variance analysis, scenario and sensitivity modeling) to the reporting basis a world targets (US GAAP-based; IFRS-based), and produce reference financial models, forecast decks, variance reports, and business case analyses.

• Author rubrics that distinguish authentic FP&A judgment from generic textbook or spreadsheet-template-level work.

Ideal Qualifications

• 5+ years working as an FP&A leader, Director of FP&A, or CFO at a major company.

• Direct ownership of budgeting cycles, forecasting models, or capital allocation decisions.

• Fluency in FP&A tooling, plus understanding of corporate finance and financial modeling best practices.

• A recognized professional credential is a plus (CFA, MBA, or CPA); prior rubric or training authorship is a plus.
