Retail Operations Manager
About the role
Opportunity Overview
Handshake is looking for experienced retail operations professionals to support AI research through flexible, part-time contract work. This is not a traditional job - you'll draw on your hands-on expertise in store performance management, inventory control, and warehouse operations to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand real-world retail operations workflows.
This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside your current work.
What You'll Do
- Use your domain expertise to create expert-level training questions and scenarios based on real retail operations workflows
- Review and evaluate AI-generated responses for accuracy and relevance to real-world store operations and inventory management practices
- 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
- 5+ years of professional experience in retail operations management, in a role such as Retail Operations Manager or Director
- Hands-on experience with workflows such as store performance reporting, cash and inventory reconciliation, and warehouse receiving
- Strong written communication skills and attention to detail
- Ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
Where you can work
This role is 100% remote, for applicants located in United States.
