About the Role
We are hiring Retail Experts for a remote, task-based AI training and evaluation project. The selected experts will use their real professional experience to create realistic workplace tasks that help AI systems understand how retail professionals actually work. This is not a data-labeling, generic content-writing, or academic question-answering role. The work involves creating realistic professional scenarios, providing supporting evidence, developing the ideal solution, and defining evaluation criteria.

Key Responsibilities

• Use a real retail workflow you have personally handled to create a realistic workplace task.
• Create professional scenarios involving retail operations, merchandising, buying, category management, inventory, sales, store operations, e-commerce, or supply chain.
• Provide safe, anonymized, or realistic supporting materials such as sales reports, inventory records, merchandising plans, purchase data, store reports, spreadsheets, or other relevant files.
• Complete the task yourself and create the ideal professional deliverable or solution.
• Define clear evaluation criteria to assess the accuracy, completeness, and quality of an AI-generated response.
• Ensure tasks reflect realistic professional reasoning, decision-making, and workplace practices.
• Work independently and complete assigned tasks within the required timelines.

Required Skills

• Strong professional expertise in Retail or a related field.
• Experience handling real-world, multi-step professional workflows.
• Familiarity with U.S. workplace practices, retail standards, terminology, or U.S.-facing/global operations is highly preferred.
• Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail.
• Ability to create and interpret professional sales reports, inventory data, merchandising documents, purchase records, spreadsheets, or other relevant materials.
• Strong written English and professional communication skills.
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment.
• Comfortable working on AI training and evaluation projects.
