Demand Planner - Remote Part-Time Contract
Listing checked September 18, 2026 · pay as published by Handshake AI
Overview
Handshake AI seeks demand planning and supply chain experts for part-time, project-based work that improves AI models. You will use hands-on knowledge of demand forecasting, inventory planning, and freight management to judge AI output and write feedback tied to real retail workflows. The role runs remote and asynchronous, so you can set your own hours and keep your current job. Tasks continue as projects become available, and the team pays $80 per hour.

- 2Assess AI answers for accuracy and relevance to demand planning and logistics practice.
- 3Write structured feedback that points out gaps, errors, or weak reasoning in model responses.

Requirements4
- 15+ years in retail demand planning or supply chain management, in a role such as Demand Planner or Supply Chain Manager.
- 2Direct work with demand forecasting, in-season reforecast, and freight invoice auditing.
- 3Strong writing skills and close attention to detail.
- 4Proven capacity to manage tasks on your own in a remote, asynchronous setting.
Who Should Apply
The strongest fit is a retail demand planner or supply chain manager with at least five years in the field and direct exposure to forecasting, in-season reforecast, and freight invoice audit work. Candidates who can turn that experience into clear written examples and critiques will stand out. This role suits people who want part-time, project-based work alongside a full-time job, not those seeking a set schedule, team management, or a permanent position. Applications often score lower when the candidate lists only broad supply chain duties without naming specific planning workflows or tools. A second common miss is submitting vague feedback samples that do not show how the person spots errors in demand planning logic.
