About the role
About Mercor
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.
About the Role
As a Client Services Lead, you will own Mercor's relationships with healthcare and life sciences clients — providers, payers, pharma, and health-tech companies — from first contact through long-term account growth. You'll sit at the intersection of client management, data strategy, contracting, and stakeholder alignment, ensuring healthcare clients get maximum value from Mercor's expert network and data products, while navigating the sector's unique regulatory and clinical requirements.
This role is highly autonomous and intentionally scrappy: you'll be trusted to build the healthcare client function largely from scratch.
What You'll Do
Build the Healthcare Client Function (0 → 1)
Identify, engage, and onboard healthcare and life sciences clients and partners
Test and iterate on service models tailored to healthcare-sector needs (clinical accuracy, regulatory constraints, data sensitivity)
Create early playbooks for how Mercor serves healthcare clients
Account Ownership & Growth
Lead client conversations end-to-end, from scoping through renewal and expansion
Qualify client needs, define mutual value, and drive engagements to close
Structure commercial terms suited to healthcare organizations' procurement and compliance norms
Contracting & Negotiation
Own negotiations on pricing, scope, timelines, and obligations with healthcare clients
Work closely with Legal and Finance to move quickly without sacrificing rigor
Navigate data rights, privacy, and compliance requirements specific to healthcare (e.g., HIPAA)
Stakeholder Management
Act as the primary point of contact for healthcare-sector clients and senior stakeholders
Manage complex, multi-party relationships (clinical, compliance, technical teams) with clarity and credibility
Align internal teams (Product, Research, Ops, Legal) around healthcare client priorities
Operate Scrappily, Then Systematize
Start hands-on: build client lists, run outreach, draft docs, close deals yourself
Identify patterns and convert them into repeatable processes as the healthcare book of business scales
What We're Looking For
Experience
5+ years in Client Service, Account Management, or Commercial roles, serving healthcare or life sciences clients
Proven experience negotiating and closing contracts
Track record managing high-stakes external stakeholders, including clinical and compliance functions
Direct experience working with data products
Mindset & Skills
Builder mentality: excited by ambiguity and 0→1 problems
Scrappy, resourceful, comfortable with unglamorous work early on
Strong commercial instincts and negotiation skills
Clear, concise communicator with executive presence
Able to operate independently while partnering closely with internal teams
Nice to Have
Experience in healthcare, life sciences, health-tech, or payer/provider organizations
Exposure to data-driven products, AI, or technical/clinical stakeholders
Background working cross-functionally with legal and finance teams
Familiarity with healthcare compliance and data rights (e.g., HIPAA, HITRUST)
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
