Capital Allocation Specialist - Remote AI Evaluation Freelance Role

Placed by Crossing Hurdles on behalf of our client

About the Role

Crossing Hurdles is partnering with a US-based AI frontier lab to source senior corporate finance professionals for remote, freelance AI evaluation work. This is not a traditional finance role. Our client is building and refining AI systems that need to think, reason, and respond like real practitioners - and they need Capital Allocation Specialists who can tell the difference between a model that gets it right and one that gets it wrong.

What You Will Do

• Review and evaluate AI-generated responses related to capital allocation, investment decisions, and financial planning
• Rate outputs for accuracy, depth, and real-world applicability
• Write and refine prompts that challenge AI models on complex finance scenarios
• Provide expert feedback that directly shapes how AI tools reason through capital structure, ROI analysis, and resource prioritization
• Flag errors, inconsistencies, or reasoning gaps from a practitioner's perspective

Domain Focus

• Capital allocation strategy and portfolio prioritization
• Investment analysis and return modeling
• Corporate resource planning and budgeting
• Financial risk assessment tied to capital decisions
• Variance analysis and performance reporting against allocated capital

What We Are Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in corporate finance, FP&A, strategic finance, or capital planning
• Prior roles such as Capital Allocation Specialist, FP&A Manager, Strategic Finance Lead, or Senior FP&A Analyst
• CFA designation or MBA in Finance strongly preferred
• Strong command of financial modeling, NPV, IRR, and scenario analysis
• Ability to evaluate reasoning quality, not just surface-level accuracy
• Excellent written communication and analytical thinking

Work Style and Expectations

This is a remote, asynchronous-friendly engagement. You set your own schedule within weekly hour commitments. Work is conducted independently, and strong performers are regularly considered for expanded retainer arrangements. Onboarding is fast - typically within 24 hours of resume review.

Compensation

Rate: $100-125/hr (USD)

Payment: Via Deel, fortnightly

Commitment: 15-20+ hours/week (minimum 10+ hours/week)

Type: Long-term engagement, retainer opportunities for strong performers

You May Be a Good Fit If

You have hands-on experience making or advising on real capital allocation decisions, you can spot when a financial model or recommendation misses the mark, and you are looking for flexible, high-value remote work that puts your expertise to use in a meaningful way. To express interest, send your resume to Crossing Hurdles and our team will be in touch promptly.
