About AI training and why it matters

AI training (also called data labeling or human feedback) is the human work that teaches models to understand language and documents. By creating and validating realistic financial documents, you directly shape how AI systems read, generate, and evaluate finance content.

This is flexible, remote work that lets you apply finance domain expertise in short- or medium-term contractor projects; prior AI experience is helpful but not required for many roles.

The role

OpenTrain is recruiting for a German Financial Document Specialist to create, review, and refine German-language financial documents used for AI training and evaluation. This is a part-time contractor role, remote, and requires at least 20 hours per week.

You will produce high-quality documents and structured files that reflect real-world finance practice so models learn accurate, reliable outputs.
