Prolific
Prolific isn’t just enabling AI innovation – we’re redefining it. While foundational AI technologies are becoming commoditized, Prolific’s human data infrastructure provides the high-quality, diverse data required to train the next generation of AI models. Through our platform, we empower researchers and companies to access a global, ethically curated participant base, ensuring cutting-edge AI research and training grounded in inclusivity and precision.
The Role
This is the first role of its kind at Prolific. You’ll help build how we deliver physical-world multimodal data collection from the ground up – establishing the operating model, production standards and collection methodologies we can scale across future programmes.
As our Technical Program Manager for Multimodal Data Collection, you’ll own the end-to-end execution of large-scale video, audio and multimodal data programmes – capturing and delivering thousands of hours of natural human activity through body-worn cameras, wearable devices and other recording hardware. You’ll turn complex client requirements into real-world collection programmes that meet precise technical, quality and diversity requirements. That could mean coordinating participants, sourcing controlled filming locations, selecting and deploying hardware, designing natural activity scenarios and running onsite production.
This is a hands-on, highly operational role. You’ll need to understand what it takes to reliably capture high-quality data in physical environments – from video and audio quality and multi-device synchronisation through to participant behaviour, consent, metadata, equipment and field logistics. You’ll also own programme economics, understanding how participants, locations, hardware, staffing, processing and rework affect the cost, scalability and margin of each collection.
We’re looking for someone equally credible reviewing a technical capture specification, running a production site, working through programme economics and sitting in front of a client.

Most staff roles are open to remote candidates across the UK and US, and the offices in London, Manchester, and New York are optional drop-in spaces rather than required locations. A small number of sales and customer success positions are advertised as hybrid out of London or San Francisco, so it is worth checking the specific role you are interested in.
No. Alongside its salaried staff jobs, Prolific runs a large network of paid AI trainer and study participant opportunities that appear on the same careers board but are contract and participant work rather than full-time employment. If you are looking for a staff role, focus on teams like Engineering, Data and AI, Product, or Human Data.
Prolific uses a location-based pay model, so salary bands are calibrated to the region a role is hired in rather than a single global rate. The bands are shared openly as part of the hiring process instead of being negotiated from scratch.
Prolific suits people who want to work remotely with a high degree of flexibility and who are drawn to the human data infrastructure behind AI research and academic studies. Because roles range from engineering and data science to product and participant operations, it fits both technical builders and operations-minded people.
