Mercor
VerifiedManagement Consultant Talent Network
This isn't a single job opening—it's an invitation to join a talent network for management consultants who want to lend their expertise to cutting-edge AI projects. As a member, you'll tackle contract assignments that involve training and evaluating AI models, creating realistic consulting scenarios, and providing domain-specific feedback to advance frontier research. It's a flexible, remote opportunity to apply your strategic thinking in a growing field while earning competitive hourly rates.
Mercor
VerifiedManagement Consultant - Remote AI Evaluation
Mercor keeps an open roster of management consultants who help grade and train frontier AI models. The work draws on your own engagement history: you write case prompts from real client situations, then create the reference answers models are measured against. You also review model-generated market sizings, profitability analyses, and driver trees, checking whether the logic holds up to partner-level scrutiny. Assignments arrive on short notice, so the pool stays active whether a project starts this week or later. Rates for past projects landed between $90 and $120 per hour, set by scope and depth.
Handshake AI
VerifiedManagement Consultant - Remote Part-Time
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.
Mercor
VerifiedData Scientist Talent Network
Mercor is assembling a network of experienced data scientists for potential future engagements with leading AI research organizations. These projects center on evaluating how effectively AI systems perform real-world data science tasks. By joining this talent pool, you position yourself for high-impact, well-compensated opportunities as they arise.
Mercor
VerifiedCompliance & Risk Specialist Talent Network
Mercor is assembling a network of seasoned Compliance & Risk professionals to support cutting-edge AI labs on a contract basis. This is not a single open role—it's an invitation to join a talent pool where you can be matched with projects that align with your expertise. As a network member, you'll apply your domain knowledge to help train and refine AI models, working remotely on a flexible schedule (typically 15–30 hours per week).
AfterQuery
VerifiedConsulting Expert - Remote Finance Contract
AfterQuery produces training material for AI models, and this role turns your consulting background into that pipeline. You supply the raw artifacts of client work (strategy decks, market overviews, client memos, analytical spreadsheets) and then write the prompts that define the analysis behind each one. Models take a run at those tasks, and your written review decides whether their reasoning and recommendations meet real consulting standards. The work runs remote on your own schedule, inside an early-stage Y Combinator-backed company.
