ESG Analyst - Remote Part-Time Fellowship
Listing checked September 18, 2026 · pay as published by Handshake AI
Overview
Handshake AI pairs seasoned sustainability and ESG professionals with project-based AI research. You will apply hands-on knowledge of carbon accounting, GHG reporting, and environmental compliance to assess model outputs and create expert training scenarios. The work takes place in a remote setting on your own schedule, with no minimum hours, so it fits alongside a current job. Your feedback shapes how AI systems handle real sustainability workflows.
What You'll Do4
- 1Build expert-level training questions and scenarios drawn from actual sustainability and ESG workflows.
- 2Evaluate AI-generated answers for accuracy, relevance, and alignment with carbon accounting and compliance practices.
- 3Write structured feedback that flags errors, gaps, and weak reasoning to improve model performance.
- 4Set your own hours and complete review tasks without a fixed schedule or minimum time commitment.
Requirements4
- 1At least 2 years of professional work in sustainability, ESG, or environmental compliance. Relevant titles include Sustainability Manager, ESG Analyst, Carbon Accounting Manager, GHG Inventory Lead, or Environmental Compliance Manager.
- 2Hands-on use of one or more platforms: Persefoni, GaBi, EPA eGGRT, or VelocityEHS.
- 3Clear written communication with close attention to detail.
- 4Capacity to work on your own in a remote, asynchronous setting.
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate has at least two years in sustainability, ESG, or environmental compliance and brings direct experience with Persefoni, GaBi, EPA eGGRT, or VelocityEHS. You write with precision, spot factual gaps in complex reporting, and can manage project work without a fixed schedule. The role suits someone who wants part-time, remote AI training work alongside a full-time sustainability job. Candidates who lack hands-on carbon accounting or GHG inventory experience often score low because the tasks demand real workflow knowledge, not general interest. People who need frequent direction or structured daily hours may also find this project a poor fit.
Salary Insight
Compensation goes up to $80.00 per hour. For project-based AI training, that top rate tends to match specialists who bring direct experience with Persefoni, GaBi, EPA eGGRT, or VelocityEHS. Because the fellowship is part-time and sets no minimum hours, your total earnings depend on how many tasks you take on.

VerifiedEnvironmental Analyst - Remote Part-Time
Handshake AI invites energy professionals into a fellowship that supports AI research through part-time, per-hour contract work. You review AI-generated answers and build training material tied to environmental assessment, GIS analysis, and renewable energy siting. Daily tools such as ArcGIS, Oracle MDM, and Aurora Solar inform how you judge accuracy, relevance, and geospatial data practices. The schedule stays remote and async, with no minimum hours, and most contributors put in 5 to 20 hours during an active project. This sits alongside other work because the engagement is project-based rather than a permanent role.
