Company Event Propagation Analyst at Mercor
posted 1 month agoCompany Event Propagation Analyst | $150–$250/hr | Worldwide Remote
Join a cutting-edge financial research initiative building expert-authored forecasting data used to evaluate and improve AI models on real-world financial analysis. This role focuses on company event propagation — identifying related companies ahead of a catalyst event and rigorously estimating how that catalyst transmits across an economic network.
What You'll Do
- Map suppliers, customers, competitors, distributors, substitutes, and geographic exposure using EDGAR filings, footnotes, exhibits, transcripts, and industry data
- Identify related companies ahead of events and distinguish direct exposure from weak thematic correlation
- Estimate direction, magnitude, horizon, and confidence for each transmission, naming the specific revenue, margin, earnings, or valuation mechanism involved
- Review and grade model-generated analyses against your own expert standard
Who We're Looking For
- Senior sector portfolio manager, lead equity analyst, or event-driven investor with deep, specialized industry knowledge
- Hands-on experience mapping a company's economic network from primary filings — not screens or third-party data tags
- Typically 8+ years of direct experience, or unusually strong evidence of equivalent performance
Backgrounds of particular interest include top multi-manager and event-driven funds, leading sector teams at major asset managers and banks, and elite specialist research firms — such as Citadel, Millennium, Point72, Balyasny, D. E. Shaw, and top sell-side sector franchises. Brand-name experience is a strong signal but not a hard requirement; performance on the work sample is the ultimate qualifier.
Point-in-Time Discipline
All tasks are graded on reasoning from a fixed evidence cutoff. Analysts must work without hindsight, data leakage, confidential information, or material non-public information — mirroring the judgment a strong analyst would have made at that exact moment in time.
