Product Manager, APEX

Mercor's mission is to organize human intelligence to power the AI economy. We're a leading AI data company, building the layer between human expertise and frontier models. Millions of domain experts on the platform are paid over $4 million per day to train frontier AI models. Mercor's APEX benchmark family measures AI's real-world impact on professional work. Mercor Enterprise brings this same infrastructure to Fortune 500 companies: helping companies capture how their best people actually work, translating that expertise directly back into agents.

Mercor is creating a new category of work where expertise powers AI advancement. Achieving this requires an ambitious, fast-paced and deeply committed team. You’ll work alongside researchers, operators, and AI companies at the forefront of shaping the systems that are redefining society. Mercor is a profitable Series C company valued at $10 billion. We work in-person five days a week in our San Francisco, NYC, or London offices.

Mercor’s AI Productivity Index (APEX) assesses how effectively frontier AI models can perform economically valuable work. We're looking for a Product Manager to own and scale the APEX brand and public leaderboard. In this role, you will define the positioning, strategy, roadmap, and operational excellence of Mercor's evaluation products, benchmarks, and public and private leaderboards. You will work across Research, Engineering, Operations, and Go-To-Market teams to transform evaluation datasets into trusted industry benchmarks that influence model development and purchasing decisions across the AI ecosystem.

You will serve as the product owner for APEX and our eval platform, driving benchmark innovation, evaluation integrity, infrastructure, customer adoption, and business impact. You will work directly with frontier AI labs and enterprise customers, representing Mercor as a thought leader in AI evaluation and measurement. You will partner with Mercor’s world-class benchmark research team, which includes the first authors from many popular benchmarks including Tau Bench, SciCode, PostTrainBench, and more.

The ideal candidate combines strong product judgment, technical fluency, operational rigor, and customer-facing experience, with a passion for turning emerging model capabilities into a credible measure of what AI can actually do for the economy.
