About the Opportunity
This opportunity is for experienced Investment Banking professionals interested in contributing to advanced AI research and evaluation projects. The role focuses on assessing how effectively AI systems perform real-world investment banking tasks.
Rather than producing traditional banking deliverables, you will apply your industry expertise to define what high-quality work looks like, develop task-specific evaluation criteria, and assess completed work samples with rigorous, well-reasoned written justifications.
Responsibilities
- Design precise, task-specific grading criteria for real-world investment banking deliverables, including financial models, valuation analyses, pitch decks, Confidential Information Memorandums (CIMs), deal memos, and board or committee materials.
- Evaluate and score AI-generated and human-created work samples against established criteria.
- Provide detailed written justifications explaining the rationale behind each evaluation and score.
- Apply consistent, evidence-based professional judgment to ensure evaluations are reproducible and defensible.
- Assess financial analyses and banking deliverables for accuracy, quality, completeness, and adherence to industry standards.
- Incorporate structured feedback from senior reviewers and refine evaluations accordingly.
