Do you have 8 to 20 hours per week available alongside your core responsibilities or consulting projects? Join us to shape how AI understands, interprets, and applies M&A expertise at scale.
About the Role
10x.team connects expert freelancers with leading AI labs building next-generation models. We are seeking experienced M&A consultants based in the EU or UK to enhance the realism, technical accuracy, and actionable value of AI-powered M&A systems.
What You Will Do
- Review and refine AI-generated outputs on M&A topics, including deal sourcing, due diligence, transaction structuring, valuation, post-merger integration, and stakeholder management
- Evaluate AI responses for deal realism, sound reasoning, and direct applicability to M&A scenarios
- Draft realistic M&A case studies and negotiation scenarios informed by your direct deal experience
- Create alternative scenarios from perspectives such as buyer, seller, advisor, or board member
- Identify logic gaps, impractical responses, or oversights in AI-generated M&A content
In simple terms:
You will review and improve AI-generated M&A content to ensure it demonstrates authentic industry practice and robust commercial logic. Rather than conducting M&A transactions, you’ll use your expertise to help AI systems deeply understand the complexities of real-world deals at scale.

- Based in and eligible to work in the EU or UK
- Several years of hands-on M&A experience, including deal execution, structuring, negotiation, or integration
- Adept at identifying logical gaps, flawed assumptions, or unrealistic approaches in M&A scenarios
- Comfortable working independently and providing clear, actionable feedback
- Available for 8–20 hours per week, with near-term availability
Why Join?

- Apply your M&A knowledge in a ground-breaking AI context

Please note: these AI Lab missions are not traditional job openings with fixed start dates. Project demand is highly dynamic and matching depends on your expertise, availability, and current AI Lab needs. Some experts are matched within days, while others may wait longer for a suitable project.
NOTE
At 10x, there are two types of opportunities (inhouse-jobs at 10x excluded):
1. Traditional freelance missions
These are regular project-based opportunities where the listed mission is the actual project you may work on.
1. AI Lab roles to get access to the 10x platform
For AI Lab roles, we scout, review, and approve profiles for access to future project opportunities and once approved you will get access to the 10x platform.
The missions listed for AI Lab roles are not traditional job openings. AI Lab work is often highly confidential as this exposes information of what an AI Lab is working on, and project requests are unpredictable. When an AI Lab request comes in, we often need to respond within 24 hours with suitable talent.
Matching depends on the specific needs of each AI Lab project and your niche expertise. Once your profile is reviewed and approved, you may be matched to relevant AI Lab projects when suitable opportunities arise.
This can happen within hours, but it may also take months, depending on the researchers at the AI labs and their project needs.
