Goods SME / Labeling & QA Analyst (6 Months Contract)

Role Summary
We need a person who can read messy goods descriptions (e.g. bills of lading, invoices, air waybills, internal cargo manifests, MT 700), evaluate the Goods Engine’s extracted goods, then validate the engine’s screening outcome by labeling results as True Positive / False Positive/True Negative/False Negative (and why) with robust knowledge of controlled goods, export controls, dual-use items, and luxury goods risk in the context of trade flows.

Primary Tasks
Interpret goods descriptions (input understanding):
Read and interpret real-world, imperfect goods text from the data (from Financial Institutions, Air Cargo Operators, Freight Forwarders etc.)
Normalize descriptions into what the goods are, including:
Synonyms, abbreviations, misspellings, HS-code-like phrasing, multi-item lines
Brand + model references (SFK (brand) ball bearing)
Ambiguous descriptors (“spares”, “parts”, “equipment”, “machinery”)
Why it matters: This is the foundation for judging whether extraction + screening is reasonable.





Review Goods Extraction from the Goods Engine (extraction QA)
Compare the goods and attributes extracted by the engine against the original description.
Review potential relevance under EAR, ITAR, USML, Commerce Control List, UK strategic export controls and EU dual-use and military controls.
Recognize when additional technical documentation is required
Identify issues like:
Missing key noun/ commodity (“controller” extracted but not “servo motor”)
Wrong granularity (extracting “parts” instead of “gyro-stabilized drone gimbal”)
Incorrect segmentation (combining two items into one or splitting incorrectly)
Incorrect mapping to controlled/dual-use categories due to ambiguous terms
Output: Structured extraction QA notes: “extraction correct / partial / wrong” with reasons.

Review engine screening results + label outcomes (TP/FP with reasons)
Evaluate the engine’s outcome and label:
True Positive (TP): engin
