The job description

About the Role

What if your expertise in macroeconomics and financial markets could directly shape how AI reasons about the global economy? We're looking for Economic Analysts to review, evaluate, and improve AI-generated economic content — ensuring it reflects accurate data interpretation, sound analytical reasoning, and real-world market dynamics.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for finance and economics professionals who want to apply their domain expertise to cutting-edge AI development. No AI background required — just a sharp analytical mind and deep familiarity with how markets and economies work.

What You'll Do

Analyze macroeconomic datasets, market movements, and policy developments to evaluate AI-generated outputs
Compare narrative economic reports against quantitative indicators to assess accuracy and coherence
Identify key drivers behind economic and market outcomes — and flag where AI reasoning falls short
Produce structured summaries of trends, risks, and scenario considerations
Evaluate central bank communications, regulatory commentary, and macro model outputs
Maintain consistency and rigor across recurring analytical tasks within structured workflows

Who You Are

Background in economics, finance, financial research, or related fields
Strong ability to interpret macroeconomic data and financial market dynamics
Confident analytical writer — you can distill complex information into clear, structured insights
Self-directed and comfortable working independently within defined frameworks
Detail-oriented with a systematic, methodical approach to analytical tasks
No prior AI or tech experience required

Nice to Have

Experience evaluating central bank communications, monetary policy, or regulatory actions
Familiarity with macro modeling workflows or quantitative research environments
Background in sell-side research, asset management, economic policy, or academia
Exposure to structured data evaluation or quality assessment processes

Why Join Us

Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs and AI organizations
Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
Apply your domain expertise to problems that directly influence how AI understands the global economy
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
