## About the role

Trust is the foundation of Mercor's marketplace. With hundreds of thousands of experts applying for jobs and over $XX million paid out every day, the integrity of who's on the platform and how they work directly determines the quality of the data we deliver to every lab and enterprise. Defending against adversarial, fast-moving threats is one of the highest-leverage problems at the company.

## What they're looking for

- Experience : 5+ years in Product Management, Product Operations, Technical Program Management, Trust & Safety, Risk, Fraud, or a similar technical, operationally-minded role. Prior exposure to safety or integrity problems is a strong plus
- Technical Fluency : Comfortable with large datasets, AI agents, unblocking and accelerating engineering. Able to reason about how detection models and signals behave, and to hold your own in technical conversations with engineers and data scientists
- Systems Thinking : A passion for building repeatable systems and fixing problems that span across multiple systems. Strong project management and cross-functional communication skills
- Ownership : Thrive in ambiguous, adversarial environments and take ownership from problem definition through execution. High accountability for outcomes, not just outputs
- Judgment : Comfortable weighing the cost of a false positive against a missed fraud case, and making the tradeoffs explicit and consistent
