ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for an Adolescent Mental Health Clinical Expert to help evaluate how AI systems respond in mental health and other clinically sensitive situations.

You’ll bring clinical judgment to reviewing AI conversations, identifying safety risks, and helping define appropriate model behavior. This is a flexible, part-time role for clinicians interested in applying their expertise to AI safety and evaluation.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Review and rate AI conversations for clinical safety, appropriateness, and quality

- Identify clinically meaningful risks and model failure modes

- Help create realistic scenarios, evaluation criteria, and scoring rubrics

- Provide expert feedback on how AI should respond in sensitive situations

- Participate in calibration and review sessions with researchers and engineers

- Document important edge cases and emerging risks

REQUIREMENTS

- Clinical training and professional credentials are required, such as LCSW/LICSW, LMFT, LPC/LPCC/LCPC, clinical psychologist, psychiatrist, MD/DO, or comparable clinical mental health credentials

- Experience working directly with adolescent patients or clients in a mental health setting

- Strong grounding in clinical assessment, psychopathology, risk evaluation, or crisis response

- Strong written communication and clinical judgment

- Comfort reviewing sensitive mental health content and maintaining strict confidentiality

No PhD or prior AI experience is required.

NICE TO HAVE

- Experience with crisis intervention, suicide or self-harm assessment, or safety planning

- Experience developing clinical rating systems, assessment criteria, or coding frameworks

- Familiarity with AI, digital mental health, trust & safety, or conversational systems

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
