Role Overview

We are seeking business and commerce experts to author and review high-quality academic assessment content for an AI research initiative. You will write and verify rigorous multiple-choice questions across core business domains, evaluate solution quality, and help establish gold-standard benchmarks used to advance AI capabilities.

You will be assigned one of two task types:

  • Question Authoring — Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions in your area of business expertise, rate their difficulty, and submit them for review.
  • Question Verification — Review pre-written questions for accuracy, clarity, and rigor. Edit where needed, rate difficulty, and document any changes made.

Business & Commerce Domains Covered

Business Intelligence, Business Ethics & Management, Marketing & Public Relations, E-Commerce, Miscellaneous Business & Commerce.

Key Responsibilities

  • Author original business questions that test deep conceptual understanding, not surface-level recall
  • Ensure questions are unambiguous, self-contained, and precisely defined — all necessary information must be in the problem statement
  • Rate each question’s difficulty: Medium (intro undergraduate), Hard (advanced undergraduate), or Expert (post-graduate and above)
  • Provide 1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives that challenge expert-level solvers
  • Write step-by-step Chain-of-Thought solutions with clear, concise reasoning in markdown format
  • Supply 1–5 academic references per question from reputable sources (peer-reviewed journals, university repositories)
  • For verification tasks: flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made

Ideal Qualifications

  • PhD, DBA, or doctoral candidate in Business Administration, Management, Marketing, or a closely related field
  • MBA or Master’s degree considered for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific subdomain
  • Strong command of graduate-level business strategy, organizational theory, and quantitative methods
  • Industry leadership experience or research publications in business fields is a strong plus
  • Excellent written English and ability to express complex ideas clearly and concisely

More About the Opportunity

  • Expected commitment: 10+ hours/week
  • Asynchronous, fully remote work

Compensation

  • Pay: $40 – $90/hour
  • Type: Hourly contract
  • Location: Remote
