Role Title: Investment Banking & M&A Expert

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote - US/Canada preferred; UK and Latin America also considered

Pay: $60-120/hr. Paid per task

Time commitment: 10+ hours/week required; 20+ preferred.

Time per task: Approximately 3 hours, following approximately 15 hours of initial environment development. Estimates include agent execution time.

Your tasks: Build realistic transaction environments and use AI agents to create and review valuation models, deal materials, task instructions, and objective evaluation criteria.

our partner is engaging experienced investment banking and M&A professionals to help build tasks that measure how effectively AI systems can perform complex transaction work.

You’ll turn live-deal workflows into realistic scenarios, supporting files, and client-facing deliverables. Hands-on experience with agentic AI tools is required: you’ll work with agents to develop the materials and independently verify their quality.

Scope of Work

  • Build realistic transaction environments containing company information, financial statements, diligence materials, and deal context.
  • Design multi-step tasks involving valuation, comparable-company analysis, financial modeling, and sell-side advisory.
  • Use agentic AI tools to develop and review CIMs, pitch books, valuation models, and supporting deliverables.

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of professional experience in investment banking, M&A, or sell-side advisory.
  • Hands-on experience building valuation models, comparable-company analyses, CIMs, pitch books, and client-facing materials for live deals.
  • Hands-on experience using agentic AI tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or Claude Cowork for substantive work. General chatbot use alone is insufficient.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Corporate carve-out experience — strongly preferred.
  • Experience at a top-tier investment bank or M&A advisory firm.
  • Industrials sector experience.
  • Experience developing review standards, training junior professionals, or writing internal playbooks.
  • Prior benchmark development or AI evaluation experience.
  • Availability for 20+ hours per week.

How the selection process works

  • Apply and complete the screening questions.
  • Complete the AI interview — this is how we showcase your expertise to the client.
  • Profile review.
  • Onboarding — our Talent Ops team will get you set up.

This is a 100% remote contract role, open to applicants worldwide in the countries the employer accepts.
