Role Description

We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced investment and finance professionals with strong expertise in financial modelling, valuation, investment analysis, due diligence, capital markets, and real-world transaction work to contribute to an advanced AI training and financial reasoning project.

Selected professionals will evaluate how advanced AI systems handle valuation, markets, financial analysis, and investment decision-making, while creating high-quality reference material grounded in practical deal experience. The work requires strong financial judgement, rigorous analytical thinking, and the ability to identify unrealistic assumptions or weak reasoning in complex finance scenarios.

  • Apply real-world transaction judgement when reviewing model outputs.
• Investment Analysis & Due Diligence
  • Evaluate scenarios involving investment opportunities, company performance, and transaction dynamics.
  • Review financial and operational information from an investor or deal-team perspective.
  • Identify key risks, diligence gaps, and material considerations.

• Expert Prompts & Reference Answers
  • Create expert-level prompts based on realistic investment, valuation, and deal scenarios.
  • Develop high-quality reference answers that reflect professional finance standards.
  • Document assumptions and analytical reasoning clearly.
  • Ensure reference material is technically rigorous, realistic, and reproducible.
  • Contribute examples that meaningfully test advanced financial reasoning.
• AI Output Review & Domain Feedback
  • Flag errors, weak reasoning, unrealistic assumptions, and incomplete analysis in AI-generated responses.
  • Provide concise, actionable feedback explaining how outputs should be improved.
  • Distinguish superficial financial reasoning from genuinely sound analysis.
  • Contribute observations that help improve model behaviour across finance-related tasks.
  • Maintain consistent evaluation standards across diverse scenarios.
