- Hands-on professional experience applying Excel within a finance domain — private equity, investment banking, hedge funds, or equity research (accounting / FP&A also considered), including work such as three-statement models, LBO/DCF and valuation, and forecasting.
- Demonstrable career progression in your field.
- Prior experience in AI training, human data annotation, or model evaluation — ideally Rubrics-trained on Mercor or a comparable platform — is a strong plus.
