Role Description

Mercor is collaborating with a leading AI lab to engage Home & Garden buying experts as independent contractors. You’ll turn real shopper briefs into clear, confident product picks—covering areas such as:

• Furniture and décor
• Bedding and bath
• Kitchen and cookware
• Small/major appliances
• Lighting
• Storage/organization
• Outdoor furniture and grills

Your job is to make great buys obvious for a wide range of styles and budgets. This is a short-term, project-based opportunity with full flexibility to set your own hours.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate shopper needs (style, space, budget, lifestyle) into well-justified recommendations with links, prices, pros/cons, and “who this is for.”
• Compare across price tiers and retailers; call out value picks and premium standouts and note availability/return policies.
• Consider fit and logistics (dimensions/clearances, delivery/assembly, finishes/care, kid/pet friendliness).
• Create quick, skimmable buyer’s guides for common use cases (small-apartment sofa, starter cookware set, quiet dishwasher, patio set for a balcony, renter-friendly lighting).
• Review and refine AI-suggested picks; correct mistakes, add missing context, and suggest alternatives from reputable retailers.

Qualifications

• Hands-on, buyer-facing background: showroom or specialty retail, home goods/kitchen stores, appliance sales, category merchandising, or credible editorial/product review experience. Serious enthusiasts with track records also welcome.
• Comfortable cross-shopping multiple retailers and price tiers; fluent in linking to trustworthy sources and writing balanced pros/cons.
• Inclusive, practical judgment (materials/durability basics, easy care, kid/pet considerations).
• Nice to have: professional interior styling education.

Requirements

• Remote and asynchronous — work on your own schedule.
• Flexible weekly commitment; project flow may vary.
• Short-term and project-based, with potential for ongoing work.
• You control your methods and schedule; Mercor support team available for inquiries.

Compensation & Contract Terms

• $40–$70/hour (USD), depending on demonstrated expertise and depth of work.
• Payments for services rendered issued weekly via Stripe Connect.
• Independent contractor classification; set your own hours.
• Scope and rates may vary by project.

Application Process

• Submit your resume to get started.
• Complete a short 20-minute AI interview.
• Optional: one-question form to highlight your expertise (especially useful for serious enthusiasts without direct professional experience).
• Mercor will follow up with next steps based on project availability.
