Overview

Handshake AI hires experienced FP&A professionals for part-time contract work that improves AI models. You draw on your retail finance background to write expert-level questions and scenarios that mirror real planning workflows. Then you review AI answers for accuracy and relevance, noting where the model misses how budget variance analysis or demand forecasting works in practice. The schedule is yours: no set hours and no minimum commitment. This project runs alongside your current role.

What You'll Do5

  • Design expert-level training questions and scenarios that reflect actual retail finance workflows.
  • Assess AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance to real planning and analysis practices.
  • Write structured feedback that pinpoints gaps in model output and explains how to improve it.
  • Ground training content in workflows such as budget variance analysis, hindsight analysis, store performance reporting, and demand forecasting.
  • Set your own pace and choose when to complete tasks, since the project has no fixed schedule or minimum hours.

Requirements4

  • Five or more years in retail finance or financial planning and analysis, with roles such as FP&A Analyst or Senior FP&A Analyst.
  • Direct experience with budget variance analysis, hindsight analysis, store performance reporting, and demand forecasting.
  • Clear, concise writing and close attention to detail.
  • Comfort working alone in a remote, asynchronous environment.

Who Should Apply

The ideal candidate brings at least five years in retail finance or FP&A, with direct work in budget variance analysis, hindsight analysis, store performance reporting, and demand forecasting. You also write with precision and can work alone on an asynchronous schedule. Candidates who lack retail finance exposure or who have never owned FP&A workflows often score low, even if they have general finance experience. The role is less suitable for professionals who need a fixed schedule or frequent team interaction. Another common rejection reason is vague written feedback that lacks concrete examples from real planning and analysis work.

Salary Insight

The source lists $80 per hour for this part-time contract. That rate applies to project-based work with no minimum hours, so total earnings depend on how many tasks you take on. For an experienced FP&A professional, this rate aligns with specialized AI training projects that call for domain expertise.
