Job summary

DataAnnotation in New York seeks an experienced finance professional to train AI models on investment problems from your own practice, validating model outputs with rigorous written rationales.

You will craft challenges (stock pitches, LBOs, comps, portfolios) and assess model performance, risks, and thesis quality, shaping the next generation of AI for investors. Remote, contract, hourly pay up to $125+.

Qualifications

• Fluency in English (native or bilingual level).
• Professional experience in investment finance (IB, equity research, asset management, PE, VC, or hedge funds).
• Strong skills in valuation, financial modeling and investment analysis; detail-oriented with the ability to explain judgments clearly in writing.
• Master's and/or PhD preferred but not required.

Responsibilities

• Write challenging, realistic investment problems drawn from your own expertise (stock pitch, an LBO model, a comps analysis, a portfolio allocation, a deal memo) and run them through frontier AI models.
• Evaluate the output the way you'd review a junior analyst's work: accuracy of the numbers, soundness of the valuation assumptions, quality of the thesis, and whether the risks were properly weighed.
• Compare two model versions on identical prompts and data, and decide which performed better and where each fell short.
• Explain your reasoning and define criteria for a strong answer, so models learn what separates a defensible investment case from a weak one.
• Flag concrete failures with evidence: valuation errors, misread financial statements, outdated or invented market data, ignored risks, circular logic, and unsupported recommendations.
• Contribute across investment work — from public equities and credit to private markets, deals, and portfolio strategy.

Job description

About The Job

We're looking for an experienced finance professional to help train AI models. You'll put the newest AI models to work on realistic investment problems from your own practice, check their analysis with a professional eye, and tell us exactly where their reasoning holds up and where it falls apart.

This is a new and fast-growing area for our company, focused on teaching AI to think like an investment professional. The models can already pull comps, summarize earnings calls, and draft an investment thesis. What they can't yet do reliably is tell a compelling pitch from a sound investment. Your judgment, rigor, and written rationale become the signal that shapes the next generation of AI tools for investors.

What You'll Do

• Write challenging, realistic investment problems drawn from your own expertise (a stock pitch, an LBO model, a comparable companies analysis, a portfolio allocation, a deal memo) and run them through frontier AI models
• Evaluate the output the way you'd review a junior analyst's work: accuracy of the numbers, soundness of the valuation assumptions, quality of the thesis, and whether the risks were properly weighed
• Compare two model versions on identical prompts and data, and make the call on which performed better and where each fell short
• Explain your reasoning and define the criteria for a strong answer, so the models learn what separates a defensible investment case from a weak one
• Push the models with edge cases and flag concrete failures with evidence: valuation errors, misread financial statements, outdated or invented market data, ignored risks, circular logic, and recommendations the analysis doesn't support
• Contribute across a wide range of investment work, from public equities and credit to private markets, deals, and portfolio strategy

Projects Span

• Public markets: equity research, fixed income and credit, derivatives, trading strategy
• Investment banking: M&A, IPOs, capital raising, fairness opinions
• Private markets: private equity, venture capital, real estate, private credit
• Asset and wealth management: portfolio construction, asset allocation, risk and return analysis
• Hedge funds and alternatives: long/short strategies, event-driven, macro, quantitative investing
• Valuation and modeling: DCF, LBO, comparable companies, precedent transactions, sensitivity analysis

Advantages Of Contracting With Us

• You'll be able to choose which projects you want to work on and when
• You work on your own schedule, on your own computer, from the comfort of your own home
• Projects are paid hourly up to $125+ per hour, with bonus rates available on some projects

Qualifications

• Fluency in English (native or bilingual level)
• Professional experience in investment finance, such as investment banking, equity research, asset management, private equity, venture capital, or hedge funds
• Strong skills in valuation, financial modeling, and investment analysisDetail-oriented, with the ability to explain your judgments clearly in writing
• A current, in progress, or completed Master's and/or PhD is preferred but not required
