In this position, you will utilize your expertise to assist in training the next generation of AI systems. Your contributions will influence how models learn, reason, and function by providing high-quality, real-world data. No previous experience in AI is necessary — your specialized knowledge is what counts.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Analyze realistic financial planning scenarios that mirror typical client discussions, including budgets, emergency funds, debt repayment, retirement planning, and more.
2. Assess AI-generated recommendations for their appropriateness, clarity, and practical application for mainstream and mass-affluent households.
3. Explain how you would lead advisory conversations—covering question frameworks, setting goal priorities, and discussing trade-offs (e.g., mortgage payments versus 401(k) matching, debt repayment versus investing).
4. Communicate actionable decision-making guidelines and common rules of thumb used with real clients (such as cash reserve goals or savings rate targets).
5. Provide written feedback aimed at improving AI-generated explanations, suggested next steps, and trade-off presentations—emphasizing clear and empathetic language for non-expert audiences.
6. Identify compliance and risk factors, advising when to remain within scope or refer clients to specialists such as CPAs, attorneys, or insurance professionals.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

1. Several years of direct client experience as a Financial Planner/Advisor, Personal Financial Consultant, or in a similar role serving mainstream households (with typical W-2 income, employer-sponsored retirement plans, common debts, and insurance needs).
2. Proven expertise in budgeting, cash flow management, debt reduction, retirement planning, education savings, and risk management for everyday clients.
3. CFP® certification is highly preferred (or passed CFP exam with relevant experience); however, ChFC or other credentials may be considered if accompanied by substantial practical experience.
4. Outstanding written and verbal communication abilities, capable of explaining trade-offs in straightforward and reassuring terms.
5. Strong professional ethics, a solid compliance mindset, and dedication to fiduciary and client-first principles.
6. Practical experience with standardized planning processes and a proactive approach to solving financial challenges.

Preferred Qualifications:

1. Experience integrating holistic planning with financial coaching, particularly in mass-market or workplace advisor settings.
2. Experience mentoring junior advisors or developing planning process materials such as checklists, playbooks, and workflows.
