Overview
Handshake AI seeks procurement, contracts, and construction sourcing professionals for part-time contract work that improves AI models. You will apply hands-on knowledge of spend analytics, contract management, and construction procurement to create training scenarios and judge AI-generated answers. The work runs as an ongoing fellowship, so you can take on projects alongside a current job. Tasks happen on your schedule, with no minimum hours. Your written feedback shows where model output misses real procurement practice.
What You'll Do6
- Build expert-level training prompts from actual procurement analytics, contract administration, and construction sourcing scenarios.
- Review AI-generated answers for accuracy, relevance, and alignment with real spend management workflows.
- Write structured feedback that points out errors, gaps, and weak reasoning in model responses.
- Evaluate outputs against sourcing, bidding, and contract management practices you have used in professional roles.
- Complete assigned review tasks at your own pace, with no set schedule or minimum weekly hours.
- Support model improvement by documenting domain-specific examples and edge cases from procurement work.
Requirements6
- 5+ years of professional experience in procurement, contract management, or construction sourcing.
- Hands-on work with spend analysis, savings tracking, contract administration, or construction bid management.
- Familiarity with DocuSign, BuildingConnected, Sievo, Snowflake, or comparable procurement and contract platforms.
- Clear written communication and close attention to detail when reviewing complex domain material.
- Ability to work on your own in a remote, asynchronous project setting.
- A background in roles such as Spend Analyst, Procurement Analytics Manager, Contracts Administrator, Contract Manager, Construction Procurement Manager, Preconstruction Manager, Bid Coordinator, or Estimator.
Who Should Apply
The strongest candidate brings at least five years in procurement, contracts, or construction sourcing and can point to real spend analysis, contract administration, or bid management work. Familiarity with tools like DocuSign, BuildingConnected, Sievo, or Snowflake helps because you will judge model output against actual platform workflows. This role fits people who already hold a full-time procurement job and want flexible, project-based side work. The role will not suit someone new to the field or anyone who needs a fixed schedule and close supervision. Candidates often lose fit when they give vague feedback, name tools without describing how they used them, or submit shallow reviews that miss procurement-specific errors.
Salary Insight
The listing sets pay at $80.00 per hour for part-time fellowship work. That rate sits in the upper range for expert AI training projects that require deep domain knowledge in procurement, contracts, or construction sourcing. The posting does not mention benefits, paid leave, or a full-time path, so treat this as a flexible contract engagement rather than a permanent salary package.
