About this task

This Series C embedded-finance provider (201–500 employees) is looking for a director Reference-Answer Writer for a rating and review programme for AI output in your own field, 4–8 h a week. Writes answers that cite primary sources.

Ratings are checked against a written rubric, and your notes go back to the team that builds the product. It operates in regulated payments and lending, so a written trail for every decision matters.

The work is fully remote. Any location in United States works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day.

What you deliver

  • Write 10 explainers with links to official sources and the date each was checked.
  • Flags for answers that are unsafe, off-topic or wrong in your field
  • Ratings entered in the client's tool against the written rubric, with a one-line reason each
  • Short calibration notes after the first batch, so your ratings match the guidelines

What a week looks like

  • Tuesday: 15-minute check-in to agree the week's items
  • Thursday: main working block (3 hours)
  • Wednesday: hand-off note with what shipped and what is open

Duration: Weekly batches for 12 weeks, renewed every four weeks. Accepted on the company's written OK. If something is missed, you fix it in the same week at no extra charge to either side.
