Overview

Handshake AI seeks seasoned retail finance leaders for a remote, part-time fellowship that feeds real-world expertise into AI research. You will craft expert training prompts and evaluate model answers tied to retail finance, long-range financial planning, and budget management. The work runs project by project, so you can fit tasks around a full-time role. Your written critiques help AI systems grasp strategic planning workflows that finance directors use every day.

What You'll Do6

  • Build expert-level training questions and scenarios that mirror actual retail finance and strategic planning tasks.
  • Assess AI-generated answers for accuracy, relevance, and alignment with real financial planning and analysis practices.
  • Write structured feedback that points out gaps, errors, and missing context in model outputs.
  • Work through assignments at your own pace without a fixed schedule or minimum weekly hours.
  • Apply hands-on knowledge of budget variance analysis and long-range planning to judge model performance.
  • Flag responses that misstate finance workflows or give advice that would not hold up in a senior retail finance role.

Requirements4

  • 5+ years in senior retail finance leadership, such as Finance Director, VP of Finance, or CFO.
  • Direct work with long-range financial planning and budget variance analysis.
  • Clear, detailed written communication and close attention to detail.
  • Ability to work on your own in a remote, asynchronous setting.

Who Should Apply

The ideal candidate has spent at least five years leading retail finance work as a Finance Director, VP of Finance, or CFO. You know long-range financial planning and budget variance analysis from direct practice, not theory, and you can explain your reasoning in clean written feedback. The role suits someone who wants flexible, project-based work alongside a current leadership job. Applicants who lack senior retail finance experience or who have never owned planning and variance workflows tend to score low. Another common rejection reason is weak written feedback, such as vague notes or missed details in model answers. Candidates seeking a permanent, structured full-time job with set hours will find this fellowship a poor match.

Salary Insight

The listed rate is $80.00 per hour. That rate fits senior finance expertise: Finance Director, VP of Finance, or CFO backgrounds. Because the fellowship is part-time and project-based, your total earnings depend on how many tasks you complete.
