Management Consultant

Opportunity Overview

Handshake is looking for experienced management consultants to support AI research through flexible, part-time contract work. This is not a traditional job — you'll draw on your hands-on experience in strategy, operations, or transaction advisory to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI reason like a practicing management consultant.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside your current role.

What You'll Do

• Use your domain expertise to create expert-level consulting problems and scenarios grounded in real client engagements, frameworks, and business analysis
• Review and evaluate AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, practical feasibility, and alignment with how the work is actually done
• Provide structured written feedback to help improve AI model performance
• Complete tasks at your own pace with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement

Qualifications

Ideal candidates meet all three of the following:

• Industry/research experience — minimum 1 year of professional experience in management consulting
• Degree — Bachelor's degree in Business, Economics, Finance, or a related field
• Sub-domain depth — demonstrated expertise in one of the following areas:
• Corporate or growth strategy
• Operations and implementation consulting
• Transaction advisory or M&A consulting

Additional qualifications (not required, but strengthen your application)

• Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills (e.g., case frameworks, market sizing, business case development)
• Experience at a top-tier consulting firm such as Bain, BCG, McKinsey, Deloitte, Strategy&, or L.E.K.

Required for all applicants

• Based in the United States
• Strong written communication and attention to detail
• Ability to explain complex business and strategy concepts clearly
• Ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
