About the role

Mercor is seeking a Civic and Public Administration Expert for a remote, contract role. You will craft public-sector scenarios for budget appropriations, multi-agency coordination, and regulatory reviews across federal, state, and municipal levels. Ideal candidates bring 5+ years in senior government roles, direct ownership of public programs, and deep knowledge of procurement, budgeting, and compliance. The position offers remote collaboration with public sector teams.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
