- Deep fluency in three-statement and transaction modeling, including DCF, LBO, comparables, and merger math
- Strong valuation judgment and familiarity with deal-process materials and bank-quality formatting and accuracy standards
- Exceptionally strong written communication
- Consistent, detail-oriented judgment and comfort with peer review and calibration
- Prior AI training, evaluation, or human-data project experience is a plus
Best for
- Investment-banking associates and more senior professionals
- Bankers experienced in M&A, coverage, capital markets, modeling, valuation, and deal materials
- Reviewers who can articulate bank-quality standards and defensible scoring decisions
