Full Job Description
About the Role

Mercor is building its first mobile app, and we're looking for a Product Manager to own it end to end. The app will be how experts apply for jobs on Mercor, track their contracts, and complete assessments, all from their phone. This is a brand-new surface, and you'll be the person who takes it from 0-1.

This is a rare opportunity for an experienced mobile focused PM. You get the blank canvas of a greenfield product with the built-in network and scale of a platform that already creates hundreds of thousands of jobs and pays out over $4 million a day. You'll shape the future of expert interaction with Mercor, and will own Mercor's mobile strategy and validate the impact of marginal mobile users and usage.
What You'll Do
  • Launch the mobile surface: Take Mercor's mobile app from concept to launch and beyond defining what it is, what it isn't, and what it becomes. This will start with the roadmap for how experts apply to jobs, track contracts, and submit assessments on mobile.
  • Own the full lifecycle: Drive the product end-to-end, from conception through launch and iteration, including release management, app store operations, mobile analytics and instrumentation, and post-launch growth.
  • Advance the frontier of AI: Mercor is organizing humanity's expertise into better AI models for every lab and enterprise. You'll build and own the products that make this possible.
  • Understand the Business: Work backwards from business outcomes to make product decisions that impact business health and growth.
  • Get in the weeds: Write specs and PRDs but also build dashboards and make small PRs to unblock yourself.
What We're Looking For
  • Mobile launch experience: You've shipped and scaled mobile apps before. You know what it takes to build native experiences, manage app store releases and review cycles, and grow a mobile product from zero to meaningful adoption.
  • Proven 0-to-1 track record: You've built and launched at least one product from scratch, and you're energized by a greenfield mandate with no existing playbook.
  • Experience: 5+ years as a product manager, with significant time spent on mobile products.
  • High Ownership: You take full accountability for outcomes, not just outputs.
  • Independence: Able to self-direct in ambiguous contexts, creating clarity for others.
  • Technical Fluency: Comfortable building scrappy MVPs yourself when needed to validate direction, unblock engineering, or accelerate iteration.
  • Strategic Vision: Strong ability to connect user needs and business context to long-term product direction.
  • User Obsession and Understanding: Talks to users frequently, knows how to effectively conduct user research and customer interviews.
  • Balance of Metrics & Vision: Equally comfortable running rigorous experiments and pushing forward visionary bets.

Benefits
  • Bi-annual performance bonus structure
  • Generous equity grant vested over 4 years
  • Up to $15k Relocation bonus
  • $10K housing bonus (if you live within 0.5 miles of our office)
  • $1.5K monthly stipend for meals
  • Free Equinox membership
  • $200 monthly laundry reimbursement
  • $200 monthly personal wellness reimbursement
  • Health, Dental, Vision insurance
