Subject Matter Expert – Retail Trade & Store Operations (English/Odia) – Remote

Role overview

Create and review realistic retail trade and store operations scenarios in Odia or English for an AI benchmarking project. The work is grounded in Indian operating contexts and tests whether responses reflect professional practice rather than generic recall. Tasks combine domain judgment with language-specific context across supermarkets, pharmacies, department stores, luxury retail, shopping malls, and multi-branch operations. Contributors design the work, adapt scoring criteria, review responses, and produce defensible reference solutions.
