Job description

Data Analyst       

Prolific

Prolific is not just another player in the AI space – we are the architects of the human data infrastructure that's reshaping the landscape of AI development. In a world where foundational AI technologies are increasingly commoditized, it's the quality and diversity of human-generated data that truly differentiates products and models.

The role

As Prolific scales its AI Services and partnerships, the way we measure performance will define how far and how fast we grow. This role exists to build that foundation — creating the metrics, experimentation discipline, and insight systems that turn complexity into confident decisions.


You’ll own the analytics that shape how this part of the business evolves. From defining what “great” looks like in our metrics, to building dashboards and structuring experiments, to presenting insights directly to senior stakeholders — you’ll connect operational reality to commercial outcomes.


Working hands-on across SQL, Python, experimentation, and stakeholder conversations, you’ll transform raw data into clarity around revenue, quality, and profitability. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of commercial growth, delivery excellence, and product evolution.

What you’ll bring to the role

  • Analytics Expertise: Advanced SQL and strong Python proficiency (e.g. pandas, experimentation analysis, automation), with a track record of building scalable reporting frameworks in modern BI tools (Metabase, Looker, Tableau). Comfortable owning problems end-to-end — from raw data to executive-ready insight.
  • Experimentation & Statistics: Experience designing and analysing A/B or operational experiments, with solid grounding in statistical concepts and causal thinking.
  • Commercial Acumen: Strong ability to connect operational metrics to revenue, margin, and financial performance — understanding not just what is happening, but why it matters commercially.
  • Autonomy & Ownership: Comfortable operating with high autonomy in a fast-moving environment, setting priorities, challenging assumptions, and driving initiatives from problem definition through implementation.
  • Stakeholder Management: Proven ability to partner across Product, Operations, Commercial, and Finance functions.
  • Marketplace Understanding: Strong grasp of B2B and two-sided marketplace metrics and economics.
  • Clear Communication: Ability to translate complex analysis into concise, decision-ready insights that shape strategy and execution.

Why Prolific is a great place to work

We've built a unique platform that connects researchers and companies with a global pool of participants, enabling the collection of high-quality, ethically sourced human behavioral data and feedback. This data is the cornerstone of developing more accurate, nuanced, and aligned AI systems.

We believe that the next leap in AI capabilities won't come solely from scaling existing models, but from integrating diverse human perspectives and behaviors into AI development. By providing this crucial human data infrastructure, Prolific is positioning itself at the forefront of the next wave of AI innovation – one that reflects the breath and the best of humanity.

Working for us will place you at the forefront of AI innovation, providing access to our unique human data platform and opportunities for groundbreaking research. Join us to enjoy a competitive salary, benefits, and remote working within our impactful, mission-driven culture.
