Overview

Handshake AI seeks experienced category managers to guide AI research through part-time, remote contract work. You will apply hands-on knowledge of tariff pricing, markdown optimization, and competitive analysis to craft training questions and assess model answers. The fellowship has no fixed schedule or minimum hours, so it fits alongside a current retail role. Your written feedback helps AI systems better grasp real-world buying and category workflows.

What You'll Do5

  • Create expert-level training questions and scenarios that reflect actual retail category management workflows.
  • Evaluate AI-generated responses for accuracy against real pricing and category management practices.
  • Deliver structured written feedback that identifies errors and suggests improvements.
  • Review model output for relevance to tariff pricing, markdown planning, promotional campaigns, and competitive analysis.
  • Complete tasks at your own pace with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement.

Requirements5

  • At least 5 years of professional experience in retail category management or buying.
  • Hands-on work with tariff pricing, competitive pricing analysis, markdown optimization, and promotional campaign planning.
  • Strong written communication and close attention to detail.
  • Ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment.
  • Background as a Category Manager or similar buying role.

Who Should Apply

The ideal candidate has spent five or more years in retail category management or buying and can point to specific work in tariff pricing, markdown optimization, or promotional campaign planning. You write with precision and can explain pricing decisions in clear, structured language. This project suits someone who wants flexible, remote evaluation work alongside a current job. The role is a poor fit for anyone seeking live category ownership, team-based buying, or a guaranteed weekly schedule. Candidates often score low when they describe general merchandising duties without naming concrete pricing or markdown projects, or when they treat the task as simple data entry instead of expert review.

Salary Insight

The listing states $80.00 per hour. That rate matches the senior level expected from a category manager with five or more years in retail buying. No other compensation details appear in the source, so confirm payment schedule and project duration when you apply.
