About The Role

AI is increasingly being used to analyze policy, model economic tradeoffs, and inform public debate — and it needs expert guidance to get it right. We're looking for economists with public policy experience to help evaluate and improve how AI systems reason about regulation, welfare programs, fiscal policy, and applied economics.

Your expertise will directly shape the quality and rigor of AI-generated policy analysis used by researchers and organizations worldwide.

Organization: Alignerr (Powered by Labelbox)

Type: Hourly / Task-based Contract

Location: Remote

Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Review AI-generated responses to public policy and applied economics questions for accuracy, rigor, and real-world relevance
  • Evaluate economic reasoning across topics including regulation, welfare, taxation, and public programs
  • Identify flawed assumptions, weak arguments, or misleading conclusions in AI outputs
  • Provide structured, detailed written feedback to improve the quality of AI training data
  • Validate policy scenarios and economic conclusions using your professional expertise
  • Work independently and asynchronously on a schedule that suits you

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
