Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Subject Matter Expert (SME) across Management Consulting, Public Policy, or Political Analysis to design, evaluate, and calibrate high-fidelity strategic problem sets, policy briefs, and gold-standard evaluation benchmarks.

This single role accommodates specialized contributors across two primary disciplines: Management Consulting & Corporate Strategy and Political Science & Public Policy Analysis .

  • Analytical Precision: Meticulous attention to detail with an ability to identify logical flaws, biased inferences, ungrounded strategic assumptions, or misinterpretations of policy mechanisms.

  • Communication: Exceptional written communication and documentation skills, with proven capability in writing concise executive briefs, whitepapers, and objective rubric evaluations.

Responsibilities

  • Benchmark Task Authoring: Design realistic, complex workplace scenarios—such as market entry frameworks, operational turnaround proposals, geopolitical impact assessments, regulatory analysis memos, and statutory risk models—complete with gold-standard solution sets.

  • Rubric Adherence & Scoring: Apply evaluation rubrics defined by the Functional SME Lead to rigorously audit, score, and critique qualitative frameworks, logical structuring, and data-backed recommendations.

  • Review & Quality Calibration (Senior Level): Audit, review, and calibrate submissions from pod members to enforce high quality, resolve strategic or policy edge cases, and escalate rubric ambiguities with actionable recommendations.

  • Iterative Refinement: Incorporate structured calibration feedback and peer critiques across sprint cycles to continuously maintain high technical and analytical accuracy.

Education & Experience

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience in any field.
  • Experience in AI evaluation, data annotation, content review, quality assurance, or a related analytical role is preferred but not required.
