Islamic Finance Expert
Job Description
The opportunity
Create expert content and evaluate AI reasoning about Islamic finance. Assignments examine the contractual structure and economic substance of an arrangement, with the applicable jurisdiction, guidance and assumptions made explicit rather than treating all Islamic-finance products as interchangeable.
What you will work on
• Develop examples tracing asset ownership, contractual obligations and cash flows in Murabaha, Ijara and Sukuk structures, including where risks transfer between parties.
• Review AI explanations of Shariah-compliance considerations and distinguish product mechanics from a formal approval or opinion by the relevant governing body.
• Assess Takaful examples within your experience, explaining participant and operator roles, fund flows and the assumptions behind an allocation or outcome.
• Compare an answer with the AAOIFI, IFSB or jurisdictional guidance supplied for the task, flagging missing references, unsupported generalizations and inconsistent terminology.
Relevant qualifications
• Practical knowledge of Islamic-finance contracts, products and Shariah-compliance processes, including Sukuk, Murabaha, Ijara or Takaful within your specialization.
• Familiarity with relevant AAOIFI, IFSB and local guidance; ability to explain the relationship between legal form, cash flows and risk allocation using clear, precise language.
Deliverables
Structured product cases, cash-flow explanations, evidence-linked reference answers and annotated AI evaluations. State where interpretations depend on a particular standard or jurisdiction, and identify questions that require additional facts or appropriately qualified review.
Engagement and pay
Remote expert content and AI evaluation work. Advertised pay: $80 – $140/hr USD. The agreed rate, assignment scope, schedule and expected hours will be confirmed before work starts. Use public, synthetic or explicitly authorized material. Keep employer information and client records confidential; assignments do not include live client transactions.
