Investment Banking Expert | $150-$220/hr Remote
Overview
This is a remote, hourly contract role with an AI research organization. You won't build banking deliverables yourself — instead, you'll set the standard for what top-tier work looks like.

It's a chance to apply your investment banking expertise to directly improve how AI handles complex financial tasks.
What You'll Do5
- 1Develop clear, task-specific rubrics for judging banking work products such as financial models, valuation analyses, pitch decks, CIMs, deal memos, and board materials.
- 2Review and score both AI-generated and human-created samples against those rubrics, providing detailed written explanations for each rating.
- 3Apply consistent, evidence-based reasoning to ensure scores are reproducible and can stand up to scrutiny from the team.
- 4Incorporate feedback from senior reviewers and revise your evaluation approach quickly based on their guidance.
- 5Collaborate with a small team to calibrate grading standards across multiple evaluators.
Requirements6
- 1At least 2 years of professional investment banking experience, preferably at associate level or above.
- 2Experience at top global banks or elite boutique advisory firms, with exposure to M&A, corporate coverage, or capital markets work.
- 3Strong command of day-to-day banking craft, including three-statement modeling, DCF, LBO, comparables, merger math, and rigorous valuation judgment.
- 4Excellent written communication skills — you can articulate precisely why a work product meets or misses the bar.
- 5Highly detail-oriented, consistent, and comfortable with having your judgments reviewed and compared with peers.
- 6Understanding of AI training, evaluation, or human-data annotation projects is a bonus.
Who Should Apply
