About this opportunity

Overview

Mercor is opening a series of compliance and financial-crime engagements with leading AI labs over the coming weeks and months. This opportunity is a written intake for practicing or recently practicing compliance professionals to share how the work is actually done in the field, including the workflows, decision points, tools, and specialty distinctions that shape real practice.

The intake is designed to help Mercor scope future engagements around how compliance professionals work in practice, with an emphasis on concrete examples, specificity, and the parts of the job that are often overlooked by outsiders.

What You'll Do

  • Complete a written intake of about 15 minutes about your compliance practice.
  • Describe your day-to-day workflows and how your time is divided across your role.
  • Explain how experienced practitioners separate the field from the inside, including the practical distinctions used by insiders.
  • Share examples of where AI gets compliance work wrong, based on your own casework.
  • Describe the less visible parts of the job that are often missed by project designers or non-practitioners.

Ideal Respondents

  • Practicing or recently practicing compliance and financial-crime professionals from first line, second line, internal audit, or external advisory settings.
  • Professionals with experience in KYC/CDD and client onboarding, transaction monitoring and AML investigations, sanctions and screening, fraud and disputes, trade and communications surveillance, conduct and consumer-protection compliance, regulatory reporting and change, or compliance testing and assurance.
  • People with credentials such as CAMS, CGSS, CFCS, CFE, CRCM, an ICA diploma, or FINRA registrations are preferred, though deep domain experience without a credential is also welcome.
  • Applicants willing to write detailed, specific responses about the mechanics of their work.

Contract and Payment Terms

  • This is an independent contractor role.
  • The work is fully remote and can be completed on your own schedule.
  • Projects may be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance.
  • Work at Mercor will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.
  • Payments are made weekly on Stripe or Wise based on services rendered.
  • H1-B and STEM OPT candidates are not supported at this time.
