Overview

This remote consulting role invites seasoned investment bankers to help train AI systems that will operate in Fortune 500 deal environments. You'll be building evaluation tasks, reference answers, and scoring rubrics that reflect the judgment and precision of senior M&A and capital markets professionals. The work centers on billion-dollar transactions, complex stakeholder dynamics, and the rigorous regulatory and diligence processes that shape real deals. It's a chance to translate your hands-on experience into structured insights that improve enterprise AI performance.

What You'll Do5

  • 1Create realistic scenarios around $1B+ M&A transactions, including multi-party deal committees and intricate capital markets or regulatory review timelines.
  • 2Develop tasks covering M&A advisory, equity and debt capital markets, leveraged finance, valuation, and financial modeling, as well as pitch and deal execution workflows.
  • 3Design execution-focused problems that involve industry-standard tools like Bloomberg, Capital IQ, and FactSet, plus enterprise modeling and deal-management platforms.
  • 4Produce reference materials such as pitch books, valuation models, and board-level narratives that apply methodologies like DCF, comparable company analysis, precedent transactions, and LBO modeling.
  • 5Write scoring rubrics that distinguish authentic banking judgment from generic, interview-style responses.

Requirements4

  • 1At least 5 years of experience in M&A advisory, capital markets, or leveraged finance at a bulge-bracket bank, elite boutique, or major financial institution (e.g., Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, Evercore, Lazard).
  • 2Hands-on ownership of Fortune 500-scale deals, capital raises, or advisory mandates.
  • 3Deep familiarity with investment banking tools, valuation approaches, and deal-process mechanics, including how SEC reviews, antitrust scrutiny, and legal/due diligence workflows operate in practice.
  • 4Experience authoring rubrics, financial modeling curricula, or deal documentation is a bonus.

Who Should Apply

The ideal candidate is a former or current investment banker with a track record of executing complex, high-stakes deals. You're comfortable breaking down your own decision-making process into teachable, measurable components. If you've built pitch books, modeled LBOs, or walked a deal through regulatory approval, and you're excited about shaping how AI understands corporate finance, this role is for you.
