our partner is engaging Independent Professionals & Solopreneurs (Domain Experts) to contribute their specialized knowledge to a dynamic customer project. 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.

Scope of Work

  • Leverage your experience as an independent professional to evaluate real-world tasks, deliverables, and workflows from your area of expertise.
  • Review and critique AI-generated content such as proposals, reports, client communications, and analyses for accuracy, quality, and applicability.
  • Create and share realistic scenarios, examples, and case studies informed by your own client work, project scoping, pricing, and delivery.
  • Identify and document gaps, errors, or unrealistic assumptions in AI outputs, providing detailed, constructive feedback for continuous improvement.
  • Communicate findings in a clear, thorough, and actionable manner using strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Contribute to the creation and refinement of AI training datasets, applying your domain-specific insights to ensure authenticity and relevance.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Demonstrated success working independently as a freelancer, consultant, or business owner in a business-facing domain (such as finance, marketing, sales, operations, HR, legal, strategy, design, or technology).
  • Direct experience managing client relationships, contracts, pricing structures, and project delivery end-to-end.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication abilities, with a particular focus on clarity and attention to detail.
  • Strong analytical thinking and the ability to clearly articulate your reasoning and recommendations.
  • Prior experience within an agency, in-house role, or firm before moving into independent practice is a plus.
  • History of advising or mentoring other independent professionals, freelancers, or small business owners.
  • Awareness of emerging trends in AI, automation, or digital productivity tools is an advantage.

Pay
At the published rate, 10 hours a week would be about $400–$1,200 and 20 hours about $800–$2,400 before tax. Hours depend on the project, so treat this as a ceiling, not a promise.
Openings
100 openings means this is a high-volume project. You are not competing for one seat: if you pass the test, there is room for you.
Location
Only applicants located in United States, Canada can be paid for this role. Platforms usually verify where you are, so apply only if you are based there.
Timing
This listing is 2 days old. Projects can close once they have enough people, so it is worth applying while it is open.
Test tips for scientists & researchers
  • Show full derivations; partial reasoning is usually marked down.
  • Check units, assumptions and limiting cases in every AI solution.
  • Write hard original problems that break the model: that skill is in demand.
