Client Services Lead, Healthcare

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
