Role brief
Job description
Current Mercor opportunity: Central Bank Expert — Non-G7 Policy Communication appeared in the live Mercor Explore catalog and was rechecked from the current role page on 2026-09-18.
## About the work
We are building expert-authored forecasting and research data used to evaluate and improve AI models on real macro analysis. Each task asks a practitioner to reason from a fixed evidence cutoff — no hindsight — and document the judgment a strong analyst would have made at that moment.
This role covers non-G7 central bank communication. We staff separately by country: a broad global-macro profile is not enough, and we are looking for depth on one specific central bank.
## What you will do
- Interpret statements, minutes, speeches and wording changes from a specific non-G7 central bank in their source language
- Compare current language against prior guidance and prevailing market expectations
- Assign a calibrated dovish-to-hawkish score and spell out the implications for rates, FX and equities
- Review model-generated analyses and grade them against your own standard
## Who we are looking for
- A former economist or adviser from the relevant central bank, or a senior local rates or FX strategist who covered it through multiple policy cycles
- Professional fluency in the source language
- Deep knowledge of that bank's reaction function and communication style, and experience reading it in real time
- Typically 8+ years of direct experience, or unusually strong evidence of equivalent performance
Backgrounds we look at first: the exact central bank, the BIS, the IMF, leading local institutions, top emerging-markets teams at global banks, and established macro funds. Brand-name experience is a strong first-pass signal but is not a hard requirement — direct experience and performance on the work sample determine who qualifies.
## Point-in-time discipline
Every task is graded on reasoning from the stated cutoff without hindsight, data leakage, confidential information, or material non-public information.
Current source check: Active on Mercor as of 2026-09-18. Confirm pay, hours, location eligibility, and screening steps in Mercor’s application flow.
