Enterprise Sales Domain Expert

What you'll do

A leading AI lab is training models to carry out multi-step enterprise sales work, and it wants experienced sellers to show the model what excellent looks like. The ad is explicit that this is for accomplished enterprise sellers, not general data annotators.

The work breaks into five parts:

• Judge workflows: review multi-step sales workflows the AI has run and decide whether a strong seller would have handled them that way, with reasons
• Build golden trajectories: do real sales tasks end to end (prospecting, pipeline management, CRM hygiene, reporting, customer-facing documents) to create the reference examples the model learns from
• Refine rubrics: pressure-test the scoring criteria so they reward what actually separates great selling from average
• Work in sandboxes: operate test environments that mirror a real sales stack across CRM, communication and billing tools
• Produce polished artifacts: pitches, slide decks and summaries at the standard a senior sales leader would sign off

The sandbox element sets this apart from rubric-only listings, because you do the work yourself inside simulated tools.

Who fits

• Around 10 years of hands-on enterprise selling, with a real feel for the full cycle
• A consistent record of meeting or beating quota that you can back with specifics
• ICs, sales managers and regional or global VPs are all welcome
• Daily fluency with Salesforce, Jira, Confluence, Google Workspace and Microsoft Office, and comfort picking up Slack, HubSpot, Notion, Aircall, Stripe, Intercom, Zoho and Microsoft Teams
• Real depth in CRM administration, sales process, pipeline tracking and data-driven reporting
• Strong writing and an eye for polish

The ad flags one background it especially wants: experience inside or alongside a two-sided, AI-powered B2B SaaS creator marketplace running outcome-based campaigns, troubleshooting across a stack like Zoho CRM, Jira, Confluence, Freshdesk, Teams and Google Workspace. If that is you, lead with it.

What it pays

$60–90 per hour, Mercor's published band. The ad does not say what sets your rate within it.

How the engagement is structured

The listing contradicts itself here. The main text describes a full-time W-2 employment position with Cincinnatus LLC, a staffing company that acts as employer of record, handles payroll and benefits, and places you with the AI lab's extended workforce. Cincinnatus stresses these are structured, role-based positions, not freelance gigs. Yet the listing is tagged as an hourly contract, and the standard Mercor footer describes an independent contractor paid weekly on Stripe or Wise. Ask which applies before you accept, since W-2 employment and contracting differ on tax, benefits and notice.

Worth knowing

Good:

• Real sales work done inside realistic sandboxes
• Sellers at every level from IC to VP are welcome
• If the W-2 route applies, you get payroll, benefits and compliance through Cincinnatus

Less good:

• US residents only
• Around 10 years of experience expected
• Contradictory engagement terms (W-2 full-time vs. hourly contractor) in the same listing
• Weekly hours are not stated
• H-1B and STEM OPT holders are excluded, per the Mercor footer

Compare with Mercor's Sales and Marketing Expert listing, which is rubric and scenario authoring at $60–70/hour with a Fortune 500 bar.
