Mercor is an AI data company on a mission to organize human intelligence to power the AI economy. The company operates a platform where millions of domain experts train frontier AI models, and has built APEX, a benchmark family measuring AI's real-world impact on professional work. Mercor Enterprise extends this infrastructure to Fortune 500 companies. As a profitable Series C company valued at $10 billion, Mercor is at the forefront of shaping AI systems that are redefining society. In this Creative Director role, you will own the evolution of Mercor's brand identity across all external and internal touchpoints. You'll translate complex ideas about AI, talent, and work into clear, compelling visual systems that resonate with audiences. Your responsibilities include creating polished, high-impact brand assets spanning landing pages, decks, social graphics, ads, illustrations, event collateral, and product marketing visuals. You'll develop and maintain a distinctive, modern visual language that sets Mercor apart in a crowded AI landscape. Close partnership with marketing, product, recruiting, and leadership teams will be essential as you bring Mercor's story to life across multiple channels. You'll help build a scalable brand system, templates, and guidelines that ensure the company maintains visual excellence as it scales. The ideal candidate brings 5+ years of brand, visual, or graphic design experience, ideally from fast-moving startups, agencies, or high-bar creative teams. You should have a strong portfolio demonstrating exceptional visual design, brand systems, typography, layout, and storytelling. Experience designing across web, social, campaigns, decks, and marketing surfaces is required. You operate autonomously, can take ambiguous ideas and turn them into excellent creative work, and maintain strong taste and attention to detail while moving quickly without sacrificing quality. Experience designing for AI, marketplaces, recruiting, fintech, or other complex technical products is a bonus. Mercor offers competitive benefits including bi-annual performance bonuses, generous equity vested over 4 years, up to $15k relocation bonus, $10k housing bonus (within 0.5 miles of office), $1.5k monthly meals stipend, free Equinox membership, $200 monthly laundry reimbursement, $200 monthly wellness reimbursement, and comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance. The company operates in-person five days a week from San Francisco, NYC, or London offices.
