Consulting Expert — AI Training & Evaluation

We're training frontier AI to perform advanced consulting work, and we need experienced consultants to create and grade expert-level deliverables. You'll take on realistic engagements end-to-end — diagnose the problem, work through dense and sometimes conflicting source material, and produce (or evaluate) the kind of rigorous, decision-grade output a client would actually pay for.

What you'll do

• Produce and review consulting deliverables such as: M&A / investment cases (EBITDA normalization, valuation, acquisition-debt structuring, covenant and sensitivity analysis, \"proceed-with-conditions\" recommendations); post-merger integration plans (synergy phasing vs. one-time costs, operating pro formas, integration narratives); and strategic / operational recommendations backed by quantitative analysis.


• Synthesize messy inputs — data rooms, due-diligence reports, memos, conflicting stakeholder guidance — into a clear, structured, well-reasoned case, correctly weighing more-credible vs. stale or distractor sources.


• Deliver client-ready work products: crisp memos, models, and recommendations with explicit assumptions, risks, and conditions.

Who we're looking for

• 4+ years at a top consulting or advisory firm — MBB, Big-4 strategy & transaction advisory (TAS/TS), corporate strategy, PMI & operations consulting, or boutique advisory — or equivalent in-house corporate-development experience.


• Elite structured problem-solving and the ability to drive to a defensible recommendation under ambiguity.


• Strong financial and business acumen plus advanced modeling (LBO / 3-statement, pro forma) and executive-quality written deliverables.


• Comfort owning an engagement independently, not just supporting one.
