• Create high-quality reference examples (e.g., issue trees, analytical models, slide outlines) that reflect professional consulting standards.
• Identify logical gaps, unsupported assumptions, and weak reasoning in AI outputs; document failure patterns and improvement guidance.
• Collaborate asynchronously with researchers and fellow contributors using structured documentation and written feedback.

Ideal Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience at a top-tier management consulting firm or reputable boutique consultancy.
• Strong understanding of hypothesis-driven problem solving and executive-level synthesis.
• Advanced skills in PowerPoint and Excel.
• Experience with market sizing, financial/operating analysis, and qualitative research.
• Excellent written communication and structured thinking skills.
• Ability to manage time effectively and meet deadlines in a remote setting.

Role Details

• Deliverables-driven structure with defined quality standards.
• Fully remote and flexible scheduling.
