Overview
AfterQuery builds training material that pushes AI models to reason through real business problems, and this role covers the retail and wholesale side of that effort. You will write questions and case studies drawn from inventory management, merchandising, vendor negotiations and sales forecasting, then judge how well a model answers them. The feedback you give on accuracy and accepted industry practice shapes the next round of training. Work runs remote and asynchronous, so you set your own hours around existing commitments.
What You'll Do6
- Write retail and wholesale questions and case studies that test how a model handles inventory management, pricing decisions, customer service and merchandising.
- Build scenarios around vendor negotiations, sales forecasting and loss prevention that mirror situations a working buyer or store operator would recognize.
- Review model answers against accepted retail and wholesale practice, then mark where the reasoning breaks down.
- Give written feedback on each response, naming the specific error and the industry standard the model missed.
- Work with retail and technical colleagues to adjust question difficulty so items stay hard without becoming unfair.
- Screen your own items for ambiguity and factual errors before they enter the training set.
Requirements6
- Bachelor's degree in business, retail management, marketing or a related field, or the equivalent in professional experience.
- Direct background in retail sales, wholesale distribution, merchandising or store operations.
- Working knowledge of several sales channels and business models rather than a single format.
- Strong analytical skills plus clear writing and speaking, with close attention to detail.
- Several years in retail or wholesale, with brick-and-mortar, e-commerce and B2B settings all welcome.
- Exposure to buyer or vendor relations, retail technology projects, category management, buying or supply chain work.
Who Should Apply
Made for someone who has run retail or wholesale operations and can explain why a pricing or inventory decision works. Several years across channels such as brick-and-mortar, e-commerce and B2B helps, along with the writing discipline to justify each judgment call.
Salary Insight
The listing posts $95.00/hr, which sits near the top of what AI training platforms pay domain experts and reflects the depth of retail and wholesale knowledge the questions demand. Rates at that level tend to go to people with years of hands-on buying, merchandising or distribution experience.
