PII Anonymization Writer at Mercor

PII Anonymization Writer | $45-55/hr | Remote (US)

Contract writing role on Project Sisyphus, a long-running PII anonymization program. You will work through business documents and structured records (CRM exports, email, tickets, chat logs, accounting data), deciding what is and isn't personal information, catching anything automated detection missed, and grouping related entities so the same person or organization is handled consistently. Reviewers check your work before it ships.

What You'll Do

• Confirm, reject, add and correctly type PII across tasks containing dozens to hundreds of individual decisions
• Group related entities (people, organizations, contact details) into the right clusters
• Find personal information that automated detection missed, and avoid tagging things that aren't personal
• Apply guidelines updated several times a week, using the version in force on the day you work
• Act on reviewer feedback quickly and apply it across other tasks rather than fixing one instance
• Work asynchronously with a distributed team, raising ambiguous cases in the project channel rather than guessing

Requirements

• 30+ hours per week available, with this as your main project
• Prior experience with AI data work (labelling, rating AI responses, or QA/review of AI outputs)
• Sharp eye for detail across long, repetitive material, and patience to double-check your own work
• Track record in detail-heavy work such as operations, accounting, editing, design, compliance or account management
• Comfort with frequently changing rules and a habit of checking the current guideline before relying on memory
• Takes feedback well and adjusts quickly
• Ability to work entirely without AI assistance on task data
• US-based, with excellent written English; reliable internet and a quiet, focused workspace

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with PII, privacy or data-protection concepts (what counts as an identifier, direct versus indirect identification)
• Experience with medical record de-identification, copy-editing or paralegal work
• Experience reading structured business data such as CRM, ticketing, email or accounting exports

Pay and Schedule

$45-55 per hour, contract basis, 30+ hours per week.
