We are seeking experienced Finance business partners and strategic finance professionals (or FP&A leads supporting executives and resource allocation) to provide expert insight as part of a project for our AI Marketplace. No preparation required — just your real-world experience.

This is a one-time, paid, project-based interview engaged on a contract basis— not a full-time role.

Location: U.S.-based experts only

Engagement: One-time, project-based interview

Work Type: Remote

Estimated rate: $120/hour (prorated for the 30-minute task)

What You’ll Do

You’ll complete a ~30-minute recorded AI-led video interview where you explain how you actually do your work in practice.

This interview will focus on:

  • Modeling headcount/resource options, competing priorities, tradeoffs, ROI, and cost impact
  • Reconciling allocation with HR, recruiting, business leaders, hiring freezes, and approved headcount
  • Scoping executive ad-hoc asks quickly while identifying the real decision being informed
  • Balancing speed and rigor, sourcing defensible data, and labeling directional versus final answers

You will be asked to explain workflows specifically within: resource allocation, headcount support, ad-hoc analysis scoping, executive response preparation, and prioritization workflows.

You should only apply if you can confidently walk through these areas step-by-step based on your own experience and respond to AI-led interview questions with depth, clarity, and real-world examples.

What We’re Looking For

  • 6+ years in finance business partnering, strategic finance, FP&A, business operations finance, or executive decision support
  • Direct, hands-on experience in resource allocation, headcount support, ad-hoc analysis scoping, executive response preparation, and prioritization workflows
  • Experience making or influencing decisions related to resource tradeoffs, headcount allocation, safe shortcuts under time pressure, minimum rigor, prioritization of competing asks, and when to convert ad hoc work into recurring reporting
  • Familiarity with tools such as: Excel, PowerPoint, Workday, Anaplan, Adaptive Planning, Tableau, Power BI, HRIS/reporting tools
  • Strong ability to clearly explain workflows, decisions, and reasoning
  • Experience owning or directly executing these workflows in a real production environment
  • Experience working in a cross-functional finance, strategy, treasury, investor-relations, or business-partnering environment

About the Interview

The interview is designed to elicit step-by-step explanations of real workflows and decision-making processes, with an emphasis on detailed, experience-based responses rather than high-level summaries.

This is a project-based engagement. Selected participants will be paid for completing a recorded AI-led video interview; hourly rates are estimates based upon anticipated time of completion. Participants will control their own schedule, provide their own tools to complete the interview, and may participate in other opportunities as they choose.

Once you complete the interview, we’ll send your video recording and transcript, along with AI-generated insights, to the internal research team and AI lab partner. This data will be used to generate a structured list of tasks associated with your profession and for AI model improvement.
