Management Consultant - Remote Part-Time
Listing checked September 26, 2026 · pay as published by Handshake AI
Overview
Handshake AI hires experienced management consultants for part-time contract work that improves how AI models handle business reasoning. You will design expert-level consulting problems from real engagements and review model answers for factual accuracy, real-world viability, and fit with standard consulting practice. The project runs in an asynchronous, remote setting, so you choose your hours and workload. This fellowship suits consultants who want to apply corporate strategy, operations consulting, or transaction advisory expertise without leaving a current role.
What You'll Do5
- 1Build consulting case problems and scenarios drawn from real client work, frameworks, and business analysis.
- 2Assess AI responses for factual accuracy, real-world viability, and fit with standard consulting practice.
- 3Write structured feedback that points out errors, gaps, and better reasoning paths for model training.
- 4Apply expertise in corporate strategy, operations, or M&A advisory to judge whether model output matches field standards.
- 5Set your own schedule and complete tasks without a minimum hour requirement.
Requirements9
- 1At least 1 year of professional experience in management consulting.
- 2Bachelor's degree in Business, Economics, Finance, or a related field.
- 3Demonstrated depth in one sub-domain: corporate or growth strategy, operations and implementation consulting, or transaction advisory and M&A consulting.
- 4Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills, shown by case frameworks, market sizing, or business case development.
- 5Experience at a top-tier consulting firm such as Bain, BCG, McKinsey, Deloitte, Strategy&, or L.E.K. (preferred, not required).
- 6Must reside in the United States.
- 7Strong written communication and close attention to detail.
- 8Explain complex business and strategy concepts in clear terms.
- 9Work on your own in a remote, asynchronous setting.
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate brings at least one year of management consulting experience, a business, economics, or finance degree, and real depth in corporate strategy, operations, or transaction advisory. Top-tier firm experience and skills in case frameworks or market sizing make an application stronger. The role fits consultants who can write clear critiques and manage their own schedule on a remote, asynchronous project. People without consulting experience or a relevant degree will find less fit, even if they know AI tools well. Candidates often score low when they claim broad consulting exposure but cannot show one deep sub-domain, or when their written feedback lacks structured reasoning.
Salary Insight
The role pays $105.00 per hour. That rate sits above many part-time AI evaluation projects and matches the pay band for experienced management consultants with domain depth. The project pays for specialized business reasoning and written feedback rather than general annotation work.

Application Tip
In your application, name one sub-domain such as transaction advisory or operations implementation, then tie a real engagement to a concrete output like a market sizing model, synergy case, or implementation plan. Quantify the result where you can, because reviewers use that detail to judge domain depth and written clarity.

The engagement runs remote on a contract basis, about 10 hours each week, with pay between $100 and $150 per hour.

Domain experts read model responses to consulting prompts, then mark where the text is accurate, where logic breaks, and where the tone misses professional standards. You join from anywhere in the USA or Canada and complete the review in a remote session. Your notes give model builders a clear view of why an output fails as a strategy deliverable.
