Procurement Workflow AI Training Expert

About OpenTrain

OpenTrain AI is the centralized platform where people build careers training and labeling data for artificial intelligence. We connect skilled contributors with specialized AI-training work, help you consolidate your experience into a durable portfolio, and hire directly for contract roles that shape how models behave.

Why This AI-training Work Matters

AI systems learn from examples people create and judge. Your procurement expertise will teach models how an experienced procurement lead evaluates vendor intake, pricing, contracts, and cross-functional approvals—work that improves model safety, accuracy, and real-world usefulness.

This work is remote and flexible, ideal for experienced practitioners who want to contribute domain expertise on a part-time contract basis while earning competitive hourly pay.

The Role

OpenTrain AI is hiring a Procurement Workflow AI Training Expert to build realistic simulated procurement environments used for model evaluation and training. You will convert real procurement judgment into step-level rubrics, golden responses, and approval recommendations that reflect how a senior procurement lead would decide.

OpenTrain AI is the contracting organization for this role; you will work as a contractor on a part-time schedule (20+ hours/week).

What You'll Do

• Review simulated vendor intake requests and renewal scenarios against reference data to ensure realistic facts and edge cases.
• Compare price and contract terms through finance, legal, security, and IT lenses and consolidate findings into clear approval recommendations.
• Write step-level rubrics and golden responses that capture procurement judgment, acceptance criteria, and rationale.
• Audit simulated company environments for realism and internal consistency, catching contradictions before tasks go live.
• Provide structured written feedback and edits for task content and evaluation guidelines.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in procurement, spend operations, or vendor management.
• Hands-on experience handling vendor requests and renewals.
• Ability to benchmark pricing and contract terms against reference data.
• Comfort consolidating inputs from finance, legal, security, and IT stakeholders.
• Strong written communication and structured feedback skills.
• English fluency required.

Helpful Background

Experience authoring tasks, writing rubrics, or contributing to AI training datasets is strongly helpful but not required. Familiarity with spend-management or e-procurement platforms is a plus and will speed onboarding.

Logistics, Pay, and Tools

This is a contract, part-time role at 20+ hours per week. Pay is hourly: USD $70–$100/hr (typical starting rate $100/hr; final rate within range depends on experience and scope). Work is document-focused (reviewing and authoring procurement scenarios, rubrics, and model-evaluation artifacts) and performed remotely.

Labeling types for the tasks include evaluation rating and text generation. OpenTrain will provide task guidelines and the simulated environment materials; experience with specific annotation tools is helpful but not required.

Who Should Apply

Apply if you are a senior procurement or vendor-management professional who enjoys translating real-world judgment into clear written criteria and example answers. This role suits people who can distill cross-functional tradeoffs, write precise rubrics, and improve the realism of simulated procurement scenarios used to teach AI systems.
