About the role
Corporate Finance Senior / Associate at Mercor to lead core corporate finance activities, including forecasting, capital allocation, financing, M&A, fundraising, and strategic initiatives from Mercor's HQ in San Francisco.
Responsibilities
- Own and continuously develop Mercor's central corporate financial model, including forecasts and upside and downside scenarios, and independently identify opportunities to improve how we model the business.
- Drive company-wide forecasting and budgeting in partnership with Finance, Business Operations, the Data and Automation team, and business leaders.
- Partner with teams across the business to understand key operating drivers and unit economics, translate them into financial outcomes, and use those insights to improve decision-making and accelerate growth.
- Support capital markets and financing initiatives, including managing external relationships, fundraising, and executing financing transactions.
- Support M&A and other strategic transactions from initial evaluation through diligence and execution, including independently driving analyses, diligence workstreams, and cross-functional coordination.
- Evaluate investments and capital allocation decisions, turning complex financial and operating information into clear recommendations for executive leadership.
- Take ownership of ambiguous, cross-functional projects, develop the workplan and analytical framework, and drive execution with autonomy.
Qualifications
- 4–6 years of finance experience. Investment banking experience is strongly preferred, particularly in combination with private equity, investing, strategic finance, or operating experience at a high-growth startup.
- Exceptional financial modeling capabilities. You enjoy the technical work and can independently build detailed, structurally sound models from the ground up, while exercising good judgment about when a quick analysis is enough.
- High agency, resourcefulness, and intellectual curiosity. You are a self-starter who can take a loosely defined objective, determine what needs to happen, and drive it forward without waiting for a playbook.
- Strong strategic judgment. You can step back from the details, understand the underlying business question, and focus your analysis on the decisions and outputs that matter most.
- Strong understanding of financing structures, capital allocation, and how financial decisions affect the broader business.
- Exceptional project management, cross-functional, and communication skills. You can manage complex workstreams, coordinate across a large number of stakeholders, navigate ambiguity and shifting priorities, build strong external relationships, present directly to executive leadership, and drive projects from idea through execution.
