About the job
In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as an Investment & Banking Subject Matter Expert (SME) to review AI-generated investment, banking, and corporate finance outputs and/or create expert finance content, evaluating reasoning quality and step-by-step analytical problem-solving while providing precise written feedback. You will assess solutions for accuracy, clarity, and adherence to the prompt; identify errors in valuation logic (DCF/comps/precedents), deal structuring, capital markets concepts, accounting linkages, risk analysis, and narrative rigor; fact-check financial claims and calculations; write high-quality explanations and model solutions that demonstrate correct methods; and rate and compare multiple responses based on correctness and reasoning quality. This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate, delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation-model labs.
Important
There is no immediate project for this role; however, if qualified, you will be among the first experts we reach out to when relevant opportunities arise. This will also provide you with access to future projects available through our expert network.
Key Responsibilities
Develop AI Training Content: Create detailed prompts and gold-standard outputs (valuation write-ups, model walkthroughs, investment memos, pitchbook-style summaries).
Optimize AI Performance: Evaluate and rank AI responses to improve numeric accuracy, rigor, clarity, and decision usefulness.
Ensure Model Integrity: Test AI outputs for calculation errors, flawed assumptions, misleading conclusions, and bias; validate reliability across deal scenarios.
Your Profile
Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related field; MBA/CFA is a strong plus.
5+ years of professional experience in investment banking, corporate development, private equity, equity research, or corporate finance.
Expert command of valuation methods: DCF mechanics, trading comparables, precedent transactions, and how assumptions drive outcomes.
Strong accounting fluency: income statement, balance sheet, cash flow, working capital, debt schedules, and common modeling pitfalls.
Proven ability to build and review financial models (3-statement, merger model accretion/dilution intuition, LBO basics, sensitivities/scenarios).
Strong understanding of capital markets concepts: equity vs debt, cost of capital, covenants, credit metrics, issuance mechanics (high level).
High attention to detail: units, sign conventions, circularities, model integrity checks, and defensible narrative claims.
Ability to write clear, structured analysis (executive summary → key drivers → risks → conclusion); minimum C1 English proficiency.
Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistent quality in an hourly, remote contractor workflow across time zones.
Prior experience with AI data training/annotation, investment memo QA, pitchbook review, or financial editorial work is strongly preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there room for advancement?
Yes. This is a key feature of the platform. They explicitly list a career path: Data Trainer -> Quality Analyst -> QA Lead -> Project Manager. Consistent high-quality work can lead to leadership roles.
How do payments work?
Payments are processed weekly through Deel. This ensures tax compliance and allows them to hire freelancers from over 40 countries securely.
Is the work ongoing or project-based?
Work is project-based, which means assignments can vary in duration and availability. However, top performers often get priority access to new projects.
Is this traditional consulting?
Not exactly. You act as a "Teacher" for advanced AI. Instead of client deliverables, you are given complex scenarios to evaluate. You grade the AI's logic, correct its hallucinations, and provide expert-level reasoning. Your job is to train the model to think like you do.
Why is the pay so high?
This role requires deep, verified expertise. General knowledge isn't enough; the model is specifically being trained on "edge cases"—the rare, difficult, or highly technical nuances that only a senior professional would know.
What is the workload like?
This is cognitive, deep work. Unlike simple data labeling, you might spend 45-60 minutes on a single task, researching citations or verifying complex calculations. Quality is prioritized over speed.
Who is behind SME Careers?
SME Careers is the expert talent division of SuperAnnotate, a leading AI data infrastructure platform. They connect domain experts with high-level AI training projects.
