rate as listed

Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: Generalist

Review AI-generated sales, marketing and business strategy materials against real commercial practice. The work includes evaluating proposals, campaigns, pitch decks, market analyses, CRM workflows and automation opportunities for a remote contractor project.

The work

You will apply hands-on commercial experience to evaluate AI-generated sales proposals, marketing collateral, pitch decks, market analyses and client communications. Assignments may also involve designing realistic cases around acquisition, positioning, pricing and project delivery, then documenting specific recommendations that can improve AI training data and commercial outcomes.

What the screening is likely to examine

Expect detailed follow-up on work you have personally completed in consulting, sales, business development, marketing, strategy, recruiting, HR or business operations. Strong candidates can explain how they assessed a campaign or workflow, interpreted business data, used CRM or marketing technology, and distinguished polished output from advice that would work in practice. Prior AI experience is not required, though familiarity with automation and digital productivity may help.

Logistics

This is a remote contractor role. The listing does not specify fixed hours, a weekly commitment or whether all work is asynchronous, so candidates should confirm scheduling and project-volume expectations during onboarding.

Included with this listing

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether you can verify genuine independent ownership of a sales, marketing or strategy problem rather than describing work directed by an employer or team lead.
A strong answer: Use one specific engagement and state the client context, your remit, the decisions you personally made and the measurable or observable outcome. Separate your contribution from work performed by the client or other specialists.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by naming broad responsibilities such as growth or strategy without identifying a client problem, their own deliverables or evidence of what changed.
