• Evaluate AI outputs related to store operations, performance reporting, cash handling, and inventory reconciliation.
• Provide clear, written feedback that helps improve AI understanding of retail store management practices.
• Work independently and asynchronously with research teams, following project instructions and quality guidelines.

• Minimum 2 years of professional experience in retail store management, for example Store Manager, District Manager, or an equivalent role in the retail industry.
• Hands-on experience with store performance reporting and cash and inventory reconciliation, and familiarity with everyday store operations.
• Strong written communication skills, high attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in an asynchronous environment.
• No prior AI or machine learning experience required.
