Program/Contract Specific Information

As an Assessment Consultant/Reviewer, you will leverage your expertise to review assessment questions designed to evaluate internal job candidates. These questions cover a variety of topics, including data analysis, financial modeling, and trading algorithms, with a strong focus on mathematical and statistical concepts. Your role is critical in ensuring the quality, accuracy, and relevance of these assessments, which test candidates' abilities to apply advanced techniques.

You are expected to provide quick, comprehensive feedback on assigned questions. Your ability to identify areas for improvement and suggest multiple refinements ensures questions align with both client needs and Correlation One's content quality principles.

This is a part-time, as-needed contract position. You can expect anywhere from 3-10 hours of work per week during active projects, with some periods of heavier or lighter workloads depending on the project cycle.

Key Responsibilities

  • Expert Question Review and Detailed Feedback: The consultant will deliver quick, in-depth feedback focused on improving assessment questions across several dimensions. Here are the key areas they may provide feedback on:
  1. Accuracy: Ensure the question is factually correct and mathematically sound, with no errors in logic, calculations, or assumptions.
  2. Clarity and Readability: Assess whether the question is clear, concise, and easy to understand. Complex questions should be worded in a way that avoids ambiguity and confusion.
  3. Multiple Solution Paths: Identify and evaluate whether the question allows for different valid approaches to solving the problem. They may suggest revisions to encourage creative or alternative methods of problem-solving.
  4. Difficulty Level: Confirm that the difficulty level is appropriate for the intended assessment. Feedback may include how to adjust the complexity to better match the target candidate’s expertise.
  5. Relevance to Job Role: Ensure the question is directly related to the specific skills or knowledge required for the job the assessment is targeting. If the question isn't job-relevant, they may suggest revisions to make it more applicable.
  6. Grammar and Syntax: Check for grammatical errors, awkward phrasing, or misused terminology that could detract from the question’s quality and comprehension.
  7. Answer Choices (for multiple-choice questions): Evaluate whether distractors are plausible yet distinguishable from the correct answer. Distractors should neither be too easy nor irrelevant.
  8. Conceptual Coverage: Ensure the question effectively tests the concepts it aims to assess. Feedback may include suggestions to expand, narrow, or modify the focus of the question to better align with assessment goals.
  9. Assumptions: Confirm that any assumptions inherent in the question are explicitly stated and clear to the candidate. If assumptions are missing or unclear, the consultant may suggest adding them to ensure that candidates have the necessary context.
  10. Definitions: Ensure that key terms, variables, and concepts are clearly defined within the question, particularly if they are not common knowledge. Feedback may include suggestions to clarify or add definitions where needed to avoid ambiguity.
  11. Inclusivity: Suggest improvements to avoid biases and ensure the question is inclusive, offering an equal opportunity for candidates from diverse backgrounds to succeed.
  12. Solution Completeness: Assess whether the step-by-step solution provided is thorough and easy to follow. They might suggest additional explanations or alternative approaches to help candidates understand the problem better.
  • Iterative Refinement: Collaborate in the continuous improvement of questions by refining them based on feedback cycles, ensuring the highest standards of quality and relevance are maintained throughout the project.
  • Communication: Maintain consistent communication, providing updates on your progress and ensuring alignment with project goals and deadlines.
  • Work Independence: Demonstrate the ability to work independently, adhere to project timelines, and meet deadlines without supervision.

Your expertise (qualifications)

  • Master’s or higher degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science, or a related field,
  • Industry Experience: Over 3 years of experience in a quantitative research or finance role is preferred, particularly in data-driven environments such as quantitative trading or financial modeling.
  • Attention to Detail: Strong capability to assess multiple plausible solutions, ensure accuracy, and provide feedback that covers both content and presentation, including grammar and phrasing.
  • Communication Skills: Strong written and verbal communication skills, essential for delivering high-quality feedback and interacting with team members effectively.
  • Proficiency in one (or both) of the following domains: 
    • Mathematics
      • Statistical Processes 
      • Statistical Modeling 
      • Classical Probability
      • Permutations and Combinations
      • Brain Teasers 
      • Number Theory
      • Linear Algebra

      • Information Processing 
      • Logical Reasoning
      • Data Engineering

Where you are

  • This role is remote and can be located anywhere that is compatible with the EST time zone. 

Compensation

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Correlation One’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.


Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
