Mercor is partnering with leading AI labs to advance frontier agent evaluations in personal productivity. As a Personal Productivity Expert, you’ll build long-horizon life-admin tasks that mirror the work a great EA or Chief of Staff does, each paired with a deterministic rubric that grades agent performance against verifiable ground truth. Tasks need to have checkable answers; no open-ended essays, no subjective judgment calls.

Expect to build scenarios across:

• Inbox and commitments: email triage against defined priority rules, commitment extraction with a ground-truth list of promises made and received
• Scheduling: calendar operations against feasibility constraints and stated preferences
• Information organization: file/photo classification against a defined taxonomy, project trackers with required fields

These scenarios will be challenging and take long sessions of focus.

Who we’re looking for

• 3+ years as an EA, Chief of Staff, or in a similarly high-context support role for busy principals
• Expertise in one or more of the following: principal-level inbox management (Gmail, Outlook, Superhuman), calendar triage at scale, personal knowledge systems (Notion, Apple Notes, Evernote), file and photo organization (iCloud, Google Photos)
• Comfortable reading and producing life-admin artifacts: triaged inboxes, commitment trackers, event plans, file taxonomies
• Clear written communication; can articulate reasoning step by step and encode it into deterministic rubrics
• Located in the United States or Canada

Compensation

$55–$75/hr depending on domain depth and prior experience. Strong contributors are promoted based on task quality and throughput.

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
