Excel Expert - General

Weekday AI · United States (Remote) · Contract · Posted 2026-09-17

Description

This role is for one of our clients

Compensation: $70 - $100 per hour

We're seeking advanced Excel experts with broad, cross-industry experience — versatile professionals who have applied Excel at an expert level across a range of functions and industries, rather than in a single niche. Your expertise will directly elevate the quality of the training data behind the most advanced Large Language Models.

This role is for generalists who bring genuine breadth — modeling, data analysis, dashboards, and automation applied across multiple domains and business functions.

Core Qualifications

Demonstrated advanced, professional-level Excel expertise, including advanced formulas (e.g., XLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, dynamic arrays), PivotTables, data modeling, dashboards, Power Query, Power Pivot, and macros/VBA.

Breadth of Excel application across multiple industries and business functions — not single-function specialization — is a strong plus.

Teaching or training experience and/or a PhD is a strong plus.

Prior experience in AI training, human data annotation, or model evaluation — ideally Rubrics-trained on Mercor or a comparable platform — is a strong plus.

Demonstrable career progression in your field.

Ability to engage reliably for 40 hours/week during weekdays through the end of September, then 20 hours/week thereafter.

Verbal and written communication skills, problem-solving skills, and interpersonal skills.

United States–based only.
