Management Consulting Expert

Role Overview

Mercor is partnering with leading AI labs to engage experienced management consultants to improve AI systems' reasoning around business strategy, organizational design, and executive decision-making. Contributors will apply their expertise in areas such as corporate strategy, operations improvement, due diligence, org transformation, and growth planning to evaluate and enhance AI performance on consulting-specific tasks. This is a project-based opportunity with potential for ongoing engagement depending on performance and project needs.

Key Responsibilities

• Review and evaluate AI-generated outputs related to strategic frameworks, market sizing, competitive analysis, operational diagnostics, and executive recommendations
• Create realistic scenarios based on consulting workflows — case interviews, client workshops, hypothesis-driven analyses, workstream planning, and steering committee presentations
• Annotate, label, and validate data across management consulting use cases (e.g., market entry, cost transformation, post-merger integration, org redesign)
• Provide structured feedback on AI accuracy in areas such as strategy frameworks (Porter's, MECE structuring, issue trees), financial analysis, and executive communication standards
• Collaborate asynchronously with research teams to refine evaluation frameworks for business strategy AI

Ideal Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional experience at a management consulting firm (MBB, Big 4 advisory, Tier 2, or boutique strategy firm)
• Background in one or more areas such as:
  • Corporate strategy and growth advisory
  • Operations and supply chain consulting
  • Organizational design and change management
  • M&A due diligence and post-merger integration
  • Public sector and social impact consulting
• MBA or advanced degree a plus
• Strong analytical thinking, structured problem-solving, and ability to translate consulting workflows into evaluation tasks
• Clear written communication and attention to detail

Compensation Note

This project is expected to begin on an effective hourly rate, but will transition to a model where experts are compensated based on throughput of quality work rather than a flat accruing hourly rate.
