About AI Training Work

AI training is the human side of building modern artificial intelligence. Experts create realistic examples, review model responses, and explain what accurate, useful work should look like so AI systems can improve.

In this project, your private equity judgment will help train and evaluate AI systems used in transaction, investment, and portfolio management workflows. Prior AI training experience is not required because practical private equity expertise is the foundation of the work.

• Contribute to cutting-edge AI development
• Apply professional finance judgment to realistic analytical tasks
• Work remotely with a flexible, part-time contractor structure

The Role

OpenTrain is recruiting a Private Equity AI Training Associate to improve AI systems used in private equity workflows. You will create finance tasks, develop analytical models, prepare deal documentation, and assess whether AI-generated work reflects sound private equity methodology.
