Overview
Handshake AI seeks experienced retail operations managers for part-time contract work that supports AI research. You will use hands-on knowledge of store performance management, inventory control, and warehouse operations to build training questions and evaluate AI-generated content. The project runs on an ongoing, project basis, so you can take it on alongside a current job. No set schedule or minimum hour requirement applies. Your written feedback helps AI models better understand real-world retail workflows.
What You'll Do5
- Create expert-level training questions and scenarios that reflect actual retail operations workflows.
- Review AI-generated answers for accuracy against store operations and inventory management practices.
- Assess whether AI responses match real-world examples of store performance reporting, cash reconciliation, and warehouse receiving.
- Write structured feedback that identifies errors, missing context, and domain-specific gaps in AI output.
- Set your own task schedule and complete assignments without a minimum hour commitment.
Requirements5
- 5+ years of professional experience in retail operations management, such as Retail Operations Manager or Director.
- Direct work with store performance reporting, cash and inventory reconciliation, and warehouse receiving.
- Strong writing skills and close attention to detail.
- Comfort with remote, async work and self-directed task management.
- Explain retail operations decisions in clear written form.
Who Should Apply
Retail operations managers with five or more years of hands-on experience fit this project best. They have run store performance reporting, reconciled cash and inventory, and managed warehouse receiving, so they can judge AI responses against real practice. People who write with precision and can explain operational choices in structured feedback tend to thrive here. Candidates with fewer than five years in retail operations, or those who supervised teams without direct workflow exposure, often score lower. Vague feedback or examples that lack specific retail process detail lead to rejection because the project depends on exact expert evaluation.
Salary Insight
The listing states a rate of $80.00 per hour. That sits above many part-time retail operations roles and reflects the senior expertise requested, so it tends to match candidates with five or more years in retail operations management rather than entry-level store positions. Pay is tied to project tasks, not a fixed weekly schedule.
