Financial Analysis Specialist — Contract AI Training Role

About OpenTrain

OpenTrain is the #1 platform for finding and building careers in AI training and data labeling. We help freelancers discover projects, consolidate opportunities across platforms, and build a unified AI training portfolio they control.

This role is posted through OpenTrain as part of a growing ecosystem of human contributors who teach AI systems by providing high-quality, domain-specific examples and evaluations.

About AI training and why it matters

AI training (also called data labeling or human feedback work) is the human side of building intelligent systems: people prepare, review, and evaluate examples that modern models learn from. That work is remote-friendly, often flexible, and a direct way to influence how AI behaves—especially in specialist domains like finance.

As a financial specialist on an AI training project, your expertise helps models understand correct terminology, analysis methods, risk considerations, and compliance-related judgments in real-world financial contexts.

The role

OpenTrain is recruiting a Financial Analysis Specialist to contribute financial expertise to AI training tasks. This is a remote, part-time contractor position requiring 20+ hours per week and fluency in English.

Work will involve handling quantitative text-based materials and evaluation tasks that require strong accuracy, attention to detail, and clear written communication.
