The job description

About the Role

What if your investment research expertise could directly shape how AI understands financial markets, company strategy, and macroeconomic dynamics? We're looking for Investment Strategy Analysts to evaluate AI-generated financial content, assess the quality of strategic analysis, and help ensure AI systems produce insights that meet the standards of real investment professionals.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. If you have a background in investment research, corporate strategy, consulting, or finance — and you know how to cut through noise and identify what actually drives value — we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do

Analyze company performance drivers, financial statements, and key business metrics
Evaluate competitive positioning, market dynamics, and sector-specific trends
Assess macro trends and their implications for strategic investment scenarios
Compare qualitative narrative commentary against quantitative signals for consistency and accuracy
Summarize opportunities, risks, and potential investment scenarios in clear, structured formats
Deliver well-reasoned insights aligned to project briefs and analytical frameworks
Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

Background in investment research, equity analysis, corporate strategy, consulting, or finance
Strong analytical reasoning — you can assess complex financial and competitive dynamics quickly
Excellent written communication skills — you translate nuanced analysis into clear, structured insights
Comfortable working across industries and adapting frameworks to new contexts
Detail-oriented and consistent, with a high bar for analytical rigor
Self-motivated and reliable when working independently without close supervision

Nice to Have

Experience with valuation methodologies — DCF, comparables, precedent transactions, or similar
Familiarity with sector-specific analytical frameworks (tech, healthcare, industrials, financials, etc.)
CFA designation or progress toward it
Prior experience in buy-side, sell-side, or strategy consulting environments
Exposure to AI tools or financial data platforms

Why Join Us

Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs and investment-focused organizations
Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, project-based work
Apply your financial expertise to a domain that's actively reshaping how AI understands markets and strategy
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
