Prolific

Prolific is not just another player in the AI space — we are the architects of the human data infrastructure that is 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. Our Strategic Sales and Success team works with most of the world's leading frontier AI model creators on one of their highest priority initiatives.

The role

As a Strategic Customer Success Manager, you will partner with frontier AI model creators who are making headline news every day, ensuring they achieve breakthrough value through our human data offerings. In this role, you will lead adoption, consumption, development, and value realization as a trusted advisor for AI research, program management, and business stakeholders. You will own the end-to-end success lifecycle, guiding customers from onboarding to maturity, expansion, renewal, and advocacy while collaborating with your counterparts on Prolific's Services, Support, Sales, Solutions Engineering, Product, Marketing, and other teams.

What you'll bring to the role

  • 6 years in a customer-facing strategic or enterprise customer success (and/or leadership) role, ideally in a business where value is aligned with increased consumption
  • Demonstrated success with navigating large organizations, driving adoption and expansion, and cultivating executive relationships/sponsorship
  • Strong business acumen and ability to interface with senior customer stakeholders (C-Suite, VP, research leads) as well as technical teams (engineers, data scientists, product owners)
  • Fundamental understanding of AI, machine learning, LLM's or similar concepts—enough to speak credibly about research use cases and value levers
  • Experience with cross-functional internal orchestration, success planning, and forecasting
  • Desire to make a huge impact on a quickly-growing business as it evolves

What you'll be doing in the role

  • Partnering with frontier AI model creators to ensure the success of their research initiatives, human data/feedback programs, and quality assurance benchmarks
  • Serving as a trusted advisor—translating research and business objectives into actionable strategies for Prolific's platform and services to achieve
  • Lead business reviews and executive engagements with clients, building case studies and advocacy stories that highlight how Prolific is driving frontier AI research for them
  • Drive continuous improvement of success playbooks, processes, and customer-facing resources, replicating best practices in usage-based models and research workflows
  • Spending time with coworkers in our San Francisco office and with customers at their offices
