Risk Management Expert

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Risk Management Subject Matter Expert (SME) to review AI-generated risk management responses and/or create expert risk content, evaluating reasoning quality and step-by-step decision-making while providing precise written feedback. You will assess solutions for accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the prompt; identify errors in risk identification, assessment methodology, controls design, mitigation planning, governance, and incident response logic; fact-check risk and compliance concepts; write high-quality explanations and model solutions that demonstrate correct approaches; 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 across risk topics (risk assessments, control mappings, mitigation plans, risk communications).
• Optimize AI Performance: Evaluate and rank AI responses to improve correctness, rigor, clarity, and practical usefulness.

• Strong command of risk fundamentals: risk taxonomy, inherent vs residual risk, likelihood/impact scoring, control design and effectiveness, KRIs/KPIs.
• Familiarity with risk frameworks and standards (as applicable): COSO ERM, ISO 31000, NIST (for security risk), SOC 2/ISO 27001 concepts, SOX controls awareness.
• Experience with governance processes: risk registers, policy development, risk committees, approvals/escalation, and executive reporting.

• Strong written communication: ability to translate complex risk topics into clear, decision-ready summaries; minimum C1 English proficiency.
• Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistent quality in an hourly, remote contractor workflow across time zones.
