Overview
This is an hourly, remote contractor role for a Contract Review Subject Matter Expert (SME). The role involves reviewing AI-generated contract analyses and drafting outputs, creating expert contract content, and evaluating the quality of reasoning and issue spotting. The SME will provide precise written feedback, assess solutions for accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to prompts, identify errors in clause interpretation, risk allocation, missing terms, ambiguity, enforceability concerns, and negotiation strategy. Fact-checking legal concepts and citations when required, writing high-quality explanations and model revisions demonstrating correct, risk-aware contract reasoning, and rating multiple responses based on correctness and reasoning quality are key responsibilities.
There is no immediate project available; however, qualified candidates will be among the first contacted for relevant future opportunities and gain access to additional projects through the expert network.
Responsibilities
- Develop AI training content by creating detailed prompts and gold-standard contract outputs such as issue lists, redlines, negotiation notes, clause rewrites, and playbook guidance.

- Familiarity with privacy and security clauses at a high level, including confidentiality, data processing, security standards, breach notification, subcontractors, and audit rights.
- Strong attention to detail with the ability to spot ambiguity, inconsistent definitions, missing exhibits, conflicting clauses, and misaligned business terms.
