Why AI Training Work Matters

AI training (also called data labeling or annotation) is the human side of building intelligent systems. People prepare examples, review outputs, and provide feedback that directly shapes how AI models behave.

• Work is 100% remote and often flexible—ideal for part-time contributors.
• Many projects require no prior AI experience; domain knowledge is rewarded on specialist tasks.
• Contributors influence cutting-edge AI behavior while gaining valuable, resumable experience.

The Role

OpenTrain is recruiting a contract Investment Operations & Fund Accounting Analyst to complete hands-on finance operations exercises using mock files.

• Location: US only; English required.
• Work type: document-based analyst exercises and deliverables (DOCUMENT data).

What You'll Do

You will complete structured exercises that simulate real fund accounting and investment operations tasks. Deliverables must be clear, reproducible, and follow the provided templates and sign-off requirements.

• Attribute NAV movements, flag items outside tolerance, and write variance commentary.
• Investigate trade breaks across systems: classify cause, propose fixes, and draft investigation narratives.
• Process corporate-action events, compute entitlements per account, and resolve payment or transfer exceptions.
• Match messy merchant and vendor descriptors to a canonical registry as part of the final deliverable.
