About the role

Events are one of Mercor's highest-leverage surfaces: the rooms where we build relationships with frontier labs and enterprise customers, host our own conferences, reach the experts we recruit, and bring our team together. We're doing far more of them, and we need someone to own the motion.

Responsibilities

  • The events strategy and annual calendar across four areas: enterprise and human-data GTM, customer/lab GTM, recruiting, and internal.
  • The creative point of view and quality bar for every event — the difference between a forgettable dinner and the room people clear their calendar for.
  • Our own conferences, plus Mercor's presence at the ones that matter (NeurIPS, ICML, and the like).
  • High-signal executive and customer programs: intimate dinners, partner roundtables, and gatherings timed to our biggest moments.
  • Recruiting events, from a university program to hackathons, that help us reach and win elite talent.
  • Internal events, from team moments up to company-wide offsites.
  • Hands-on execution: managing vendors, coordinating across marketing, recruiting, and workplace, and keeping every detail on track.
  • Follow-through with GTM and recruiting partners, so events produce relationships, pipeline, and talent — not just attendance.
  • Measurement and repeatable playbooks, so every program gets sharper over time.

Qualifications

  • 6–8 years in events, field marketing, or experiential — ideally for technical, executive, or otherwise discerning audiences.
  • Deep expertise and conviction: strong, defensible opinions on what makes an event land, and the confidence to push back on stakeholders.
  • An entrepreneurial executor who finds the leverage and goes after it — not an order-taker. High energy, hands-on with vendors, details, and run-of-show.
  • A structured thinker who turns ambiguity into clear plans and presents them well across marketing, recruiting, and vendors.
  • Steady under ambiguity: you prefer a plan, but you don't stall without one.
  • Polished enough to represent Mercor to founders, lab leaders, and senior executives.
