Brokerage Assistant

Opportunity Overview

Handshake is seeking experienced Brokerage Assistants and brokerage operations professionals to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional full-time brokerage role. You’ll use your real-world experience supporting brokers, managing client and deal workflows, and handling day-to-day operations to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand brokerage support work and terminology.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity that can be done alongside your primary employment.

Who This Is For

This project is designed for professionals who are already working (or have recently worked) in roles such as:

• Brokerage Assistant or Brokerage Coordinator (real estate, insurance, or financial services)
• Sales Assistant or Client Service Associate within a brokerage environment
• Administrative or Operations Assistant supporting brokers or advisors
• Transaction Coordinator or Deal Support Specialist

This is not a traditional full-time role. You’ll apply once and, if qualified, be considered for part-time, project-based work as new projects become available.

What You’ll Do

This project involves using your professional experience as a Brokerage Assistant or brokerage operations professional to design job-related questions and review AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance to real-world brokerage support work.

No prior AI or technical experience is required.

Qualifications

We’re looking for established professionals with:

• 4+ years of professional experience as a Brokerage Assistant or in closely related brokerage support or operations roles
• Hands-on experience supporting brokers or advisors with client workflows, documentation, transaction coordination, or operational processes
• Strong written communication skills and attention to detail
• Comfortable working independently and following written guidelines
• Professional judgment, reliability, and a high standard of discretion and confidentiality, especially with sensitive or proprietary information.

Work Model and Project Details

• Status: Independent contractor (not a full-time employee role)
• Location: Fully remote; work from anywhere with a reliable internet connection and access to a desktop or laptop computer
• Schedule: Flexible and asynchronous, with no minimum hour requirement. Many contributors work approximately 5–20 hours per week when assigned to an active project
• Duration: The Handshake AI program runs year-round, with projects opening periodically across different areas of expertise. Placement depends on current project needs, with opportunities to be considered for future projects as they become available
