Job Title: PE / M&A Document Sourcing Expert Job Type: Contractor Location: Remote Job Summary: In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.

Key Responsibilities

• Source and provide eligible finance transaction documents, such as Confidential Information Memoranda (CIMs), Sell-Side Information Memoranda (SIMs), Investment Committee Memos, Share Purchase Agreements (SPAs), Private Equity board decks, Private Placement Memoranda (PPMs), management presentations, and related deal materials. • Validate and confirm that all provided documents are free from confidentiality agreements, NDA protections, material non-public information (MNPI), or proprietary restrictions, ensuring legal eligibility for use. • Log detailed document metadata, including transaction type, industry, deal structure, and origin, to maintain robust traceability and compliance. • Classify documents according to transaction structure and financial context. • Work closely with compliance and operations teams to uphold sourcing standards, clarify eligibility, and support seamless document submission workflows. • Exercise careful judgment in differentiating public and restricted financial information. • Engage in professional, document-driven communication and negotiation regarding document availability, eligibility, and compensation.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience in private equity, investment banking, M&A, capital markets, transaction advisory, corporate development, due diligence, or related finance roles. • Hands-on familiarity with a wide variety of transaction documentation, acquired through real-world deal execution or financial advisory functions. • Expert ability to identify legally shareable materials and distinguish them from materials subject to confidential, NDA, or MNPI restrictions. • Superior attention to detail when reviewing, validating, and classifying financial documents. • Strong organizational skills for managing document tracking, metadata logging, and maintaining precise submission records. • Comfortable operating independently in a fully remote, asynchronous environment where requirements may rapidly evolve. • Commitment and ability to provide only eligible, compliant transaction documents for AI training use.

Preferred Qualifications

• Previous experience at private equity firms, investment banks, Big 4 advisory, corporate development, restructuring, leveraged finance, or similar deal-centric organizations. • Familiarity with sourcing documents from SEC EDGAR, M&A filings, investor relations portals, bankruptcy courts, or licensed financial data providers. • Experience managing document-intensive workflows within financial institutions, advisory firms, law practices, or alternative asset managers.

Additional Info

This role is document-driven and centers on the provision of eligible transaction materials. You will be directly responsible for sourcing and supplying the documents. No confidential, NDA-protected, proprietary, or MNPI content can be accepted. Examples of eligible documents may include older transaction materials no longer under restriction, publicly filed documents, redacted materials, internal training/sample documents, or public investor presentations.

Requirements

  • Attention to Detail
  • Compliance Review
  • Data Collection
  • License Verification

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I apply to Micro1 from outside the US or UK?

Yes. Micro1 accepts applicants from most countries worldwide, unlike DataAnnotation or Outlier, both of which cap access to a handful of English-speaking countries. Most roles still require strong written and spoken English.

Does Micro1 monitor your computer while you work?

On many projects, yes, through time-tracking tools that take periodic screenshots to verify active hours. Check the specific project's requirements before accepting if desktop monitoring is a dealbreaker.

What does the Micro1 application process look like?

Expect a screening interview with Zara, Micro1's AI recruiter. Prepare for it like a real video call: good lighting, clear audio, verbal answers to technical questions. A human manager reviews the recording afterward, and some roles add a short skills assessment on top.

Is AI training work the same as traditional consulting?

No. Instead of client deliverables, you're given complex scenarios to evaluate: grading the AI's logic, correcting its hallucinations, and supplying expert-level reasoning it doesn't have on its own. The job is closer to teaching than consulting.

Why do these AI training roles pay so much?

Because general knowledge isn't what's being tested. The model already knows the basics; what it needs is expertise on edge cases, the rare, difficult, highly technical judgment calls only a senior professional in the field would make correctly.

What does the day-to-day workload look like for elite-expert AI training roles?

Slow and deep, not fast and repetitive. A single task can take 45-60 minutes of researching citations or verifying complex calculations. Quality is what's being measured here, not throughput.

What does Finance work look like for a PE / M&A Document Sourcing Expert?

Tasks here are scoped to Finance, not generic labeling. As a PE / M&A Document Sourcing Expert, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Finance) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Finance background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.

What does the 'openings' count on this listing mean?

It's Micro1's live count of how many candidates it's still trying to place for this specific role, 10 right now, not a countdown on your individual application. A higher number signals more active demand; it doesn't lower the bar for acceptance.

What happens when I click Apply on this listing?

You'll be taken to Micro1's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
