Product Manager at Prolific

Product Manager UK Remote ( with some office time in London) 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 our new Product Manager at Prolific, you will take your place in Prolific's Product, Research, and Design Group. • Impact: You will be the Product person responsible for the impact and outcomes of a team building out next gen tooling that enables frontier AI model developers to conduct cutting edge AI research. This is a career-defining moment to shape how some of the world’s biggest technology companies are building AI…no big deal! You'll report into the Product Lead for the Prolific for AI Product Group, and will work cross-functionally while accountable for a stream-aligned team. • Experience: You'll bring experience building AI native systems, with particular experience building AI native UX. You’ll have had success taking complex human workflows and distilling them into highly adaptable technical systems and then scale access to those systems across multiple interaction surfaces - UI, APIs, CLIs and MPCs. • Domain: The Data Collection Tooling feature set is a key technical driver of what Prolific does best, and therefore the time, energy and focus of this team are worth their weight in gold. It’s critical that the person in this role prioritises both intuitively and systematically and is a master at the elegant art of trade-offs. • Responsibilities: You will be responsible for product managing a stream-aligned team of your own. This means you’ll be accountable for the outcomes and impact of that team. You’ll also be the key driver of interaction with your peer teams and be able to collaborate across domains of science, research, supply, sales and account services. • Culture: Building on our Prolific Principles, we expect colleagues in the Product, Research, and Design Group to demonstrate reliability, grit, diplomacy, a bias for action, and a dogged focus on value – you'll be a champion of these behaviours yourself, and in the culture of your team. Accountability and autonomy are two sides of the same coin, and we expect you to demonstrate both.
