About the Role
We're looking for finance lecturers and economists to help shape how AI systems understand and reason about financial concepts. Your subject matter expertise will directly influence the quality of AI outputs in one of the most high-stakes domains — finance and economics.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role that fits around your existing commitments. Whether you're an active lecturer, a seasoned economist, or a finance professional with teaching experience, your knowledge is exactly what's needed to make AI smarter and more reliable.
What You'll Do
- Review and evaluate AI-generated finance and economics content for accuracy and clarity
- Assess explanations covering valuation, risk, market behavior, financial theory, and more
- Identify conceptual errors, misleading reasoning, or common misconceptions in AI outputs
- Provide structured, expert feedback to improve the quality of financial reasoning in AI systems
- Apply your teaching experience to flag gaps that students or learners would find confusing
- Work independently and asynchronously at your own pace
Who You Are
- 3+ years of experience teaching finance or economics at the postsecondary level
- Strong command of corporate finance, financial markets, or financial economics
- Able to critically evaluate written financial reasoning with precision and depth
- Comfortable working through structured content systematically and at scale
- Self-motivated and reliable in an independent, remote work environment
Nice to Have
- Graduate degree (Master's or PhD) in Finance, Economics, or a related field
- Industry or applied finance experience (investment banking, asset management, etc.)
- Familiarity with AI systems, model evaluation, or prompt-based workflows
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects with top research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work whenever and wherever suits you
- Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
- Directly influence how AI handles complex financial and economic concepts
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
