Overview
AfterQuery builds training content for AI models and needs people who have run real technology consulting engagements to judge how well a model handles them. You will write consulting questions and case studies that probe requirements gathering, solution architecture, change management, vendor selection and project delivery, then grade the answers a model produces. The feedback you give decides whether the training data reflects genuine professional services practice or falls short of it. Work runs remote and asynchronous, so you set the hours and submit on your own schedule.
What You'll Do7
- Author consulting prompts and case studies that test a model on requirements gathering, solution architecture, change management, vendor selection, stakeholder management and technology strategy.
- Score model answers against professional services standards and flag every point where the reasoning slips.
- Write detailed critique for each response so the training team knows what to correct and why.
- Compare question difficulty with other technology and technical experts, then adjust the level so items stay demanding without becoming unfair.
- Check cases against real delivery practice, including how service delivery models and client engagement approaches work in the field.
- Hold a consistent standard across the question set so the material teaches as much as it tests.
- Spread coverage across technology domains and industry verticals so the dataset does not narrow to one specialty.
Requirements9
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, business administration or a related field, or comparable work experience.
- Hands-on background in technology consulting, professional services delivery, systems integration or IT strategy.
- Working knowledge of several service delivery models and the client engagement approaches that go with them.
- Strong analytical writing and the discipline to catch small inaccuracies inside a long answer.
- Comfort judging technical and strategic choices without a second opinion on hand.
- Several years in consulting or professional services across more than one technology domain or industry is preferred.
- Certifications such as PMP, ITIL, cloud credentials or Agile/Scrum, or an MBA or MS, count in your favor.
- Prior thought leadership, published work or technology transformation initiatives help your case.
- Exposure to AI or emerging technology applied inside professional services is a plus.
Who Should Apply
Someone who has delivered consulting or systems integration work and can explain why one architecture or vendor choice beats another. You write clearly, argue from experience and hold a high bar for accuracy. A background across several industries or technology domains suits this work well.
Salary Insight
The rate is $80.00 per hour. That sits at the upper end of what expert review and content authoring pays, and it lines up with practitioners who have several years of consulting delivery behind them rather than early-career analysts. Hours stay flexible, so earnings track how much you take on.
